P��� 14 ���.D�����M��������.��� THOUGHTBUSTER.COM Oil Spill, The Power Of Intention …. And Breakthrough All three: Oil Spill, The Power Of In- tention ….and Breakthrough, can have a leading tread, a common interest, which can be woven in to a new beau- tiful fabric for life today. Just as these three themes are blending together so is humanity. Many races, and reli- gions, are joining in creating a sacred union for saving our planet. The Gulf oil spill was a wake up call, and we are listening. The oil nightmare touched us all deeply. As we listened our concerns grew daily for our dear ocean, and all those living in the area. We prayed, we hoped, and finally the oil stopped. Thank goodness. Intention. “Conscious change is brought about by two qualities inherent in consciousness: attention and inten- tion”, writes Deepak Chopra in Seven Spiritual Laws Of Success. “Attention energizes, and intention transforms.

About ten years ago, I saw a photo of a lawn in front of a house that seemed to be the size of a football field. The yard was laced with all the products we use which are made out of petroleum. I was shocked; as I had no idea so many things were made from oil. Car seats, kids toys, patio furni- ture, raincoats, ice crest, just to name a few. With the enormous amount of items on that front lawn imbedded in my memory, I wondered how I would ever stop using oil. The oil crisis is far more complex then just buying an electric car. Where do I start? Whatever you put your intention on will grow stronger in your life…Inten- tion, on the other hand, triggers trans- formation of energy and information. Intention organizes its fulfillment.” How do we begin to stop using oil? Several years ago I started out with the idea to stop using plastic bags at the shopping store. So I bought some cloth bags. Only I kept forgetting to bring them in. This went on and on. I thought if I keep forgetting the bags then I will just have to buy another. When my car was full of bags and I was still forgetting, I knew I needed to take my mindlessness more seriously. So then I made an Intention that if I for- got the bag I would just have to carry everything out with my hands. I forgot a lot, I carried a lot, and people would stop and ask me,” do you want a bag?” I would then explain my intention for carrying everything in my arms. Finally, I created a new habit; I now bring in my bags. Breakthrough. Remembering my recycle bags was a small breakthrough. When we share our stories of making a positive shift, a breakthrough on an old bad pattern, we inspire others to do the same.

In his first show “Love Conquers All” Frank and Kristen share their story that on their wedding night, a night of love and joy to remember forever, Frank at- tempted to jump in the pool. The leap left him a quadriplegic. After one hears their story, you wonder how will they ever discover that same happiness they had before this awful accident? Can they, will they, have a breakthrough, with Tony? Yes they do. “The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn’t being said.” Anthony Robbins. Tony starts with the power of intention. You can too. ������ 4, 2010 Five Steps. Here are the five steps I use for helping others with the power of intention. 1. Become crystal clear on what you want, and why. Like the oil spill, and Frank and Kristen’s tragedy, you have to first discover what is it you really want and why. 2. Start seeing the impossible become possible. Imagine it. “Your imagina- tion creates the inner picture that al- lows you to participate in the art of creation,” writes Dr. Wayne Dryer in his best selling book “The Power of In- tention”. What the mind’s eye can see, the mind can create. 3. Be open and willing. When we are open we our more receptive. Our body and our mind are more relaxed and playful. This change in energy brings new ideas and connections to the sur- face. An example for me was I could have just given up on the bags and been frustrated with the whole idea. Instead I thought of another motiva- tion approach to help reach my goal. 4. Action. Intention is all about action. You intend to do something. Action is an inner commitment expressed in some sort of movement. Taking an ac- tion step makes you feel more in con- trol of the situation, especially when you start seeing results. 5. Let go and trust the process. When we keep the attitude that we are doing the best we can, and give it our best, we relax and encourage ourselves to reach our goals. Our vibration radiates a happy soul. Happiness vibration = excellent results. A happy worker has better success. A happy cook creates food tasting twice as good. With the oil spill, the struggling econ- omy, or the challenges we face on a daily basis, these 5 steps can help. When things seem like too big of a task at hand, like when I thought “will I ever remember to bring in the cloth bags?” one of the five steps helps. An- other helpful step is when we watch an inspired show like “Breakthrough”, or read an inspiring book. Because we become more motivated, and hopeful, we see that light at the end of the tun- nel can exist. Join Tony and watch the magic hap- pen.
