The power of intention teaches us that you will attract to you what you you really want. According to Dr. Wayne Dyer, "You don’t attract what you want. You attract what you are.”  What he explains is that there is a big difference between demanding something and allowing something to occur. When we demand things that we want, what can be troubling with this is that the exact way in how it manifests itself in our life, may not be exactly how you pictured it.  For instance, if you want to be surrounded by more people because you may feel that you are a bit lonesome, then all of a sudden you can potentially find yourself in a precarious situation with that intention.  More people around you could mean that they are needy people who constantly want something from you or perhaps they are individuals that live in constant negativity.  Although you may have gotten what you wanted, it may not have been the clear solution to your problem.  Sometimes people hope and pray that they get another job that pays them more money, which can help if you find yourself financially burdened.  However, if you were successful in obtaining that job, then you may find that you are actually working over sixty hours a week and you have little or no time for any social or family time, which then begs the question if it was worth it?  The point of dedicating time to thinking about what you really want is to ensure that you have a clear message that defines what your expectations are.  Sometimes we fail to ask ourselves about the little details that can make a huge difference in obtaining what we want in life.  Having more, can sometimes mean that you will be sacrificing more.  Whether it is time, money, relationships or something else of value, you need to think with a clear mind about what your intended outcomes should be.  Having a clear vision for yourself and being precise about the particular details associated with your vision, can be the difference between being satisfied and being fulfilled.  Think about allowing things to occur as you had envisioned them, as opposed to demanding that they happen right away. When you think about the things that you want to have in your life in the future, don't leave out the details.  The power of intention does not read between the lines, so you have to be your own author that writes the script of how you want your life to play out.
