How intent is enough

In practicing or thinking about intent, it may feel as though there is a lot more you should be doing other than just intending. I mean, come on, how can just intending for something to happen actually generate results? Is just wishing, even really hard, for a particular job or career to come along enough to actually have it happen? You know, the answer may actually be, yes – but with a few caveats.

Caveat 1(and the most important): You first have to decide what you want.
Caveat 2: You then have to do the research on where you might find what you want.
Caveat 3: You have to approach these organizations and give it your all.

I stress the decision of what you really want as the most important as, I believe, most people either don’t know what they want or don’t believe they can have what they want. So, they settle for whatever comes to them. And, trust me, things will always come to you but it may not be what you need. But, you can have what you want, regardless of the obstacles you perceive. All you need to do is intend it.

Don’t just take my word for it. Read Kelly McIntyre’s, Does your dream job seem out of reach?
