Thoughts, feelings, actions are all hindered or helped based on intention. Intention is the motivation behind the action or thought or feeling. It is one of the least considered aspects of our lives that truly affects us.
Wanda--In this process of self discovery I become more aware everyday of the motivation behind my actions. Don and I have recently decided to make some changes in our lives to be more healthy. Exercising four times a week and stopping all eating three hours before bed are the hallmark of our new health stance. Originally, my prayer was for total health and well being for my life. But going to the gym and being around all the fit and athletic people...i (ego me) began to notice that my body was not fit or athletic...i begin to compete and judge and wanted to look and feel like the woman on the treadmill next to me...my intentions for total health and well being shifted and become more about 'looking sexy'...that's when things backfired...at first going to the gym gave me energy and released stress from my day...working out became an extension of my morning meditation...but the more my intentions changed the less positive the experience. My intention to be 'sexy' began to sabotage my prayer for total health and well being. I (the divine in me) has to put this thing back on track and take over my intention. But i (ego me) has to surrender and could only do so after discovering how intentions set outside of God's truth for me will stop the blessings.
Don--In learning about my intentions I found that i (ego me) have become less important as i have learned how to align my intentions with what I (divine me) desire. Once I started journaling the things that I am grateful for everyday and keep with our goal of total health by going to the gym four times a week I've become stress-free and healthier than I could have ever imagined to be. Last week when I ran my usual daily regiment of 1 mile around the track at the gym I found that I could run a mile in 7.5 minutes. That's even better than when I ran in high school when it took me almost 11 minutes to run the same distance. But without aligning my intentions with my desire of having spiritual, physical and emotional wealth this most likely would not have been possible. I've noticed that in past times when I've gone to the gym I've still felt tired and drained. This is because my intentions were counter to what i wanted for myself physically. It is only with God's blessing that at this point in my life this would even be possible.
It is imperative that you be honest with yourself about your intentions. As we learn more about the Law of Attraction and how it works in our life we need to pay attention to our intentions. You could hold in your mind the desire for a million dollars but intend for the money to be used as a way of revenge or manipulation of another. Those feelings taint the faith and corrupt your ability to access the blessing God has in store for you. Don't impede on your blessing. Correct your intentions and place the divine in you (I) in charge.
With Love.

This is a GREAT blogsite. We need so much more positive energy circulating to counteract the destructive forces. In my view, we exist in a SPIRITUAL ECONOMY. The things that we circulate eventually come around and touch our entire community. When I am shopping and a clerk gives me a torn or excessively worn bill, I give it back. We should try to replace worn feelings, disappointments, frustrations, negative images, and the like with a crisp new vision and outlook.
Solid post. The irony being that people who want to get in shape to impress others with their bodies, still in a way benefit; the only issue being they don't recognize the good that they're doing for their insides worried about what others are looking at on the outside....
Nevertheless, whatever the motivation may be, rather for (ego me) or (divine me), I believe that taking care of your body is beneficial beyond what words can say (even though you two did pretty well mastering that challenge with this post), something God wants us all to do seeing as how we only get one during our stay here.
Anyway, if you two are bossing up like this after only a few posts, I'm looking forward to the future. Peace....
