You may have already heard that whatever you focus on expands. While that statement is certainly true from my own experience, simply having a rough idea what you want to achieve may not be clear enough to get you the desired results.

Especially when you are tapping into the Law of Attraction tool set, it may be wise to take the following approach: When you set a goal it’s usually only including one of two possible outcomes. If I were to use a sports analogy for soccer, you can only either miss the goal or score one. With manifestation there are actually a multitude of outcomes possible and most of the time the outcome looks nothing like our mind initially imagines it.

If you set the goal of making $10,000 next month because you are currently only making $3,000 and once the month is up you only found yourself having $ 6000 in your bank account, you would have to admit that you missed your goal by a wide shot.

Now if you had set an intention to make significantly more money next month than last month and you found yourself with $ 6000,- at the end of that month, most people would agree that your intention is actually working. Intentions are more like a direction forwrd rather than a specific road that you are willing to take. Meaning, that setting an intention will help you allow for more flow and less restrictions on how the universe can serve you.

A law, by definition, always works for you no matter what, but it doesn’t always work the same way for everybody who applies it. Thus, leaving the universe the flexibilty to give you what you asked for but in a form and measure that you have little choice over is one of the great keys to seeing the magic of Intention- Manifestation at work.

If you would like more in depth info on this subject there are plenty of good books out there to read, and I can warmly recommend the title ‘Creative Visualization’ by Shakti Gawain. It answered a lot of questions I had and will put you on a step by step path to harness the power of conscious intention setting for you with a bit of persistence and practise.
