Universal Laws - The Law of Intention
The Law of Intention states:
Whatever you intend to happen will happen. Intention is a power very like the 'Law of Gravity.' While the 'Law of Gravity' is recognised and understood by everyone the 'Law of Intention' is a lesser known yet just as powerful force. While the 'Law of Gravity' holds you down to the ground and the planets on their courses the 'Law of Intention' in effect goes before you always. This Law moves and shapes the airwaves and atmospheres so that whatever you intend to happen will happen.
Expectation is the opposite side of the coin to intention. Imagine if you will that an intention goes out from you as a force and returns to you as an expectation. If you intend something you automatically expect it and if you expect something you have, unwittingly perhaps, intended it.
In actual fact whether you know it or not, you are putting intention into every single thing you do. In every moment of every day, intention is at work for you. In much the same way as the 'Law of Gravity' it is in operation continually. Without being aware of it you put some form of intention into every task you perform. Intention goes before you like an invisible force, either opening doors or keeping them shut depending entirely on your intention.
Every moment of the day you are moving with the 'Law of Intention' and while you sometimes use deliberate intention, by making a choice to do something, over 90% of your daily intentions are habitual. In other words you just carry on doing whatever you've always done on auto pilot.
When you understand the 'Law of Intention' life can take on a whole new meaning and you can deliberately intend for your day to go the way you want it to.
Intention = Expectation
Intention and expectation are interchangeable. If you are dreading something or not looking forward to it your expectation is it will be difficult and it will be so. Conversely, if you are looking forward to something, feeling confident and sending out positive energy your expectation is whatever you are doing will be successful or enjoyable and once again it is so. Whatever you expect is your intention and your intention is whatever you expect!
You can change the whole outcome of anything you normally dread or don't look forward to by changing the intention before you do it. Set a different intention and you will get a different outcome. The phone call you were dreading can become easy and productive, the social occasion you weren't looking forward to can become enjoyable and the interview can be successful if you set an intention for it beforehand.
If you are always late, intend to arrive on time, if you always eat too much intend to be satisfied with a small amount and if you haven't been sleeping very well intend to sleep like a log. It's all in the intention and the majority of your intentions are habitual but the 'Law of Intention' like all Universal Laws is impersonal. The 'Law of Intention' just is, like gravity it has no favourites.
If the world understood intention in the same way it understands gravity and used it as wisely we could prevent many of the wars, famines and strife that we have to endure. Understand this Law and use it wisely.

Imagineering Your Dreams Come True
How good is your imagination? Can you visualise easily? Can you feel a feeling without something external happening in your world? Can you smell a smell without an actual odour present?
I believe our imagination is one of the best tools that we have as people. I'm not sure animals have an imagination - I'd like to think that my kitten imagines playing with a ball of yarn, yet I don't think it does. However, we imagine all the time. In fact, your imagination is the best way to tap into your unconscious mind!
The term Imagineering comes from Walt Disney's blend of the words imagination and engineering; representing the ability to blend creativity and expertise to produce an outcome. In NLP speak - when you can be an imagineer in your own life you can have an intention and get to your desired state.
When you can become an Imagineer in your own life - wonderful things can happen! In fact, everything in the world happens at least twice:
- First, in your imagination.
- Then, in reality.
I have heard from clients and students who tell me they don't have a good imagination. Well, imagination isn't only about creativity; before you get dressed in the morning, you have to imagine what you are going to wear that day (even briefly). Before you choose something to eat, you imagine eating it.
When I hear that someone doesn't think they have a good imagination, what I hear is "I don't trust my imagination". Sometimes as people grow up they are taught that only what is REAL is good and somehow they squash their belief in imagination. Yet - its around all the time. The more you can trust it the better.
By the way, another way of saying I don't trust my imagination is "I don't trust my unconscious mind" - which can squelch creativity, motivation, desire, intention, possibilities, health and even dreams!
Let's try a few imagination tricks to get your imagination imagineering...
To do this, read the question and then just give an answer... by the way, there is no wrong answer... if you second guess - this again shows a lack of trust.
- In the story of Goldilocks and the 3 Bears, what colour were the bears?
- In the story of Little Red Riding Hood, what is in her basket?
- In the story of Hansel & Gretel, what colour shirt does Hansel wear?
- In the story of the Ugly Duckling, how many 'ducklings' were there?
I used stories that most people will know - and parts of the stories that we have to imagine or create things for. We each may have different answers for these questions - based on our own imagination. And, based on your imagination - your answers are right!
Why did we do this little exercise? To remind you that you have an active imagination and that you can use it. If that task was challenging - spend the rest of today remembering old childhood stories and making up new endings! Start to build a strong rapport with your unconscious mind and imagination. After all, resistance is a sign of a lack of rapport. Yes, you can have rapport with your unconscious mind!
Let me tell you about a study conducted by Drs. Guang Yue and Kelly Cole in 1992. They wanted to conduct a study to test the power of the imagination to create a physical change - the idea being that simply imagining performing an act (in this case, muscular movement), will create an change in your neural pathways.
The experiment was extremely simple in its nature, but the results have amazing implications. Two groups were use; One of the groups did a physical exercise and the other imagined doing that exercise. Both groups exercised a finger muscle, Monday through Friday, for four weeks. The physical group did trials of fifteen maximal contractions, with a twenty-second rest between each. The mental group merely imagined doing fifteen maximal contractions, with a twenty-second rest between each, while also imagining a voice shouting at them, Harder! Harder! Harder!
The results: at the end of the study the physical group increased their muscular strength by 30%. The imagining group increased their muscle strength by 22%.
Sometimes, when people say "It's all in your mind" - they are right! When you are Imagineering - remember, if it's possible for someone, it's possible for me.
Dream on!

Affecting Positive Results Through Affirmations
Last time we talked about how to begin building the mind's powerful framework for success. The lesson we needed to learn was that self-talk has a powerful affect on the results we achieve. We learned that the mind will manifest whatever we dwell on, be it negative or positive.
This week, I would like to continue with our discussion of self-talk and suggest how you may supercharge your self-talk and the results you achieve through the use of affirmations.
Affirmations are a powerful mental programming technique that are underutilized and laughed at by many. You may remember the Saturday Night Live skit with Stuart Smiley sitting in front of the mirror saying "I'm good enough; I'm smart enough and doggone-it, people like me!" The image of this character makes one laugh, however when understood in the context of how powerful Stuart's technique really is, it shouldn't!
Affirm means to "make firm." So affirmation simply means to make a strong statement that something is already so. We know that we will eventually reap whatever our conscious mind sows onto the field of the subconscious. So through affirmations we will develop into whatever image of ourselves we create, be it good or bad. I suggest using positive affirmations to develop into all that you desire to be!
One of the most poignant examples of the power of affirmations comes from the boxing legend Muhammed Ali. When you think of Muhammed Ali, what vision comes to mind?
Actually, two visions come to my mind:
Actually, two visions come to my mind:
The first is of Ali standing in the ring over a defeated opponent with a sweat covered face, surrounded by his trainers. Ali yells, "I'm the king of the world, I am the greatest, I'm Muhammed Ali. I shook up the world, I am the greatest, I'm king of the world. I'm pretty, I'm pretty, I'm a baaaad man, you heard me, I'm a baaad man."
The second is of Ali wrapped in his boxing robe, dancing from side to side before a bout. He exclaims, "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee." Is this simply brash talk from yet another cocky athlete? I don't believe so. I believe that Muhammed Ali knew the power of affirmations. He spoke what he wanted to be, and as a result became it.
For the purposes of improving yourself and achieving the successes you've always desired, I want you to take it on faith that affirmations DO work. Give it a try, if only for a couple months and then make up your mind whether to keep using them.
In order to do this, you will need to know some basics about how to get the most out of affirmations. First, the subconscious mind does not understand the future tense. When you use affirmations, you should always speak of the present. The past does work but not nearly as well. Speak as if the things you want are happening in your life right now. For example, if your goal is to become the manager of a division you currently work in, you need to picture it now:
"I am enjoying the title and responsibility of being manager for the ABC Division of XYZ Company and am doing successful and important work. I am being recognized by my peers and my employer for my good and honorable efforts."
The affirmations need to be positive and personal! You should usually start your statement with "I." The affirmation should be specific. Tell your mind exactly what it is that you want and you will get better results.
The affirmation should also be short, easy to remember, and easy to apply.
Finally, your affirmation should be emotionally intense! Don't just say it, BELIEVE IT. Shout it at the top of your lungs if you must, but convince your mind, no matter how hard, that it is actually true. This is so important! Your success in using affirmations will live or die on how intensely you can get your mind to buy into your spoken words.
I believe that you should write down and repeat your affirmations at least twice a day. I recommend that you do it as soon as you wake up and right before you go to bed. Your assignment for the next two weeks is to write down five affirmations that you want in your life. Repeat them, at least twice a day, for two weeks. If you do so, I believe that you will be quickly on the path to achieving the success you desire.
To Your Success,
Joel
