Know your Intention.

Often, there is so much momentum and relief associated with getting on the "effective path," that we forget to act once we arrive. It is extremely beneficial and rewarding to be clear about your intentions--to know what you want to create in your life. For many, this is a disciplined process; for others, it is more intuitive. The more challenging initiative for most is the action that is required once we are on the road to success as we have defined it. 

Success is the result of conditioning. Those with a track record of accelerated and frequent success are often immersed in their intentions. They know what they want and are passionate about any action that will grow them in the direction of their true desires. This is not to be confused with the dominate western mentality where many subscribe to working tirelessly on the achievement of their goals at the expense of their lives (the "nose to the grindstone" paradigm). It is not about the amount of activity and the number of hours; it is about the focus and clarity of intention. Are your thoughts, words and actions aligned with your intentions?  If your activities (actions) are in direct correlation with your strategy, then you are on your way. If you are allowing fear to inhibit you from action by waiting for things to be right, you will never achieve your objectives. 

Success or sabotage? Any form of action will lead you to the "right" track if you are able to learn from cause and effect. If the effect that you caused is not aligned with your desires, take a different form of action. 

Is this going to be an incredible day? The answer is in your hands. You are the co-creator of your existence.
