Ideas That Ignite Curiosity To Love With Courage!

Letting Intentions of Our Being-ness Lead

In each moment there is a thought to how we would like to function. It doesn’t always mean functioning in the way we would like. An important factor in functioning in the way we would like requires letting intentions of our being-ness lead.

To allow intentions of our being-ness to lead means understanding what intentions are and what their importance is in day to day life.

What is an intention of our being?

An intention is an idea that you plan to carry out. In order to carry out the intention you must be committed to it’s action. To be committed to it’s action you must embody the true essence of the intention. The intention requires determination to follow through with accompanying actions. It has been conceived in the mind and becomes the focus of being. The being-ness of the intention is devotion to it’s embodiment within.

What role do intentions of our being have in our life?

Intentions act as our guide in life. When they are paired with our values, they form a powerful combination of navigating influencers that lead the way.

Anyone can have an intention. What makes the intention significant is that it coincides with the true way of functioning that someone would like. The epicenter of operation can originate from the intention. Life could be in chaos but living from the intention could be the difference between staying grounded and focused or letting anxiety and disarray be in control.

I feel that, “intentions are the backbone of operating in our reality, no matter what is occurring in that reality.”

Being your intentions

What will be required to BE your intentions?

A commitment, a dedication, being integrity to the desired intentions. An example would be if I choose to be compassion, then my thoughts and actions must originate from that intention. It could mean shifting perspectives or changing my focus from contexts that are happening that don’t align with that intention. It might not necessarily mean I agree with everything that is occurring in that moment. However, it doesn’t change the intention of compassion that I choose to be in that moment.

What gets in the way of being our intentions

In many instances our ego gets in the way. Feeling the need for safety in one or various forms. To affirm self worth, love or finding a feeling of safety in an experience. A need to prove or be validated is what the ego wants to regain control or feel it is in control of the experience.

Coming back to our intentions means comforting the ego when it feels threatened. Soothing it and letting the heart-mind to have a moment to heal and restore. Self compassion could be a door opening intention for that to happen.

Commitment to letting our intentions of being-ness lead

The commitment is a dedicated focus to being the desired intentions. It could be a daily practice that creates awareness. The awareness then forms a choice to follow through on the required actions to be the intention. In time, it becomes a habit.
Moments could arise that displace being the intention. Acknowledging the agreement to be integrity for the intention recommits to embody the intention again without much delay.

The dedication to live by a chosen intention is an embodied integrity, “to be.”

Create Time To Envision

So many daily tasks and obligations occupy our lives. All the “doing” takes away the opportunity to envision and to consciously dream.

3 Important Reasons to Create Time to Envision

One of the most important reasons why someone must create time to envision in their life is because it helps to clarify the alignment of various paths moving forward.

When alignment is clear there is an opportunity to listen. The voice of the inner soul is speaking and wants to be heard. The words can be inspiring. They can provoke action. Formulating an understanding of what wants to happen.

Listening to the voice of the inner soul ignites a release of creativity. An access to the brilliant parts of self. The ability to construct and conceptualize a vision of possibility. It is possible because it can be seen as a vision of possibility. It can be sensed in it’s various details of existence. The depth is reliant on how connected to the soul someone decides to be.

A choice is established. Believe in the vision and begin taking initiative towards the imaginatively formed vision. Allow it to incubate, to grow in it’s development. Nurture the seed after it has been planted. Let it follow the light that comes from within.

The Irrelevance of How

What impedes the joy in the process of envisioning, of allowing for conscious dreaming is the attachment to how. The need to know. To have each step articulately planned out. The meaning derived if each detail is not clear. Then comes the doubts. It can’t be done. It will never work. Then deeper seeded questions of worthiness. “Who am I to bring this vision into reality?”

“What if I am not capable?”

“It most likely would be a failure.”

“Why should I continue to take any further thought or action towards this?”

There is a fine balance between living in this moment and cultivating a vision of what is possible.

Value In The Process

There is a valuable aspect in the process of interpreting the pieces of the vision. In every piece of the puzzle that wants to be constructed is the emergence of your potential. The journey of who you will become in the quest to realize the wonder behind where the vision is taking you.

There is room for adaptation and revision along the way. It is like a continual story that wants to be told. When an openness to curiosity can be maintained, more possibility can be accessible.

You get to anchor into the importance of the vision.

Why does it feel so important?

What makes each step vital in the gradual transformation of envisioned thoughts?

In a greater sense, it gives hope. An infinite world of imagining.

A few thought provoking words to consider as you dare to dream, and create time to envision;

Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become a reality. – Earl Nightingale

What you think, you become. What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you create. Buddha

You create your thoughts, your thoughts create your intentions and your intentions create your reality. – Wayne Dyer

Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve. Napoleon Hill

What might you do to make envisioning an enriching process in your life? There is no need to attach to any results. It is a journey filled with aliveness. The wonder of what is, and what could be.

What you envision is a construct of who you choose to be within the possibility and potential of what you want to live into.
