Intend rather than try. I know that intentions have had a poor reputation in the world. Of course, there is intending and intending. Nevertheless, I ask you to intend more.

Think not of intention as a promise you make. Think not of intention as a result you must obtain. Just think of intention as something that requires nothing of you but to have it. Rather think of intention as a seed you plant. Think of intention as a dream you have. Think of it as a picture you have before you. Think of it like a premonition.

You would be surprised with all I have up My sleeve for you. You will be surprised. Bounteous gifts are flowing to you like rafts in a river. Be ready. Have your arms out ready to catch.

Gifts are going to reach you the way checked-on luggage revolves at the airport. Be ready to grab fast. This is not a one-time chance. Your good fortune will come around again. It's all ready for you. But why not clasp it the first time around? And then you are on your way.

Have the idea today that everything you do is easy. Have the idea today that all good comes to you. Have the idea today that life unfolds before your very eyes with treasures to behold. Have the idea today that you are a wine taster of life. All the goblets are filled with good wine, and you simply taste.

Have the idea today that life is a river that flows to your feet.

Have the idea today that there are no faraway mountains to climb. All peaks come close through your eyes of love.

Your intentions matter. What are they? What is beneath your accomplishments? What do you intend by what you do? Find out what your intentions are and what lies within and beneath them.

What do you intend today? And what do you intend for your life?

Motivation is not quite the same as intention, although it is close. What motivates you may reveal your intention.

Where do you position yourself in life? Stop running a little bit to see what you are running towards and why.

This is not an easy question I ask you. It requires more than a quick answer.

Now that I have told you not to carry over yesterday's hurt feelings or annoyances, today I want to tell you that this doesn't mean you must continue every relationship or every dealing with a business or anything. Let Us say that a salesperson in a certain store was inconsiderate or rude to you, and you are not happy to go there anymore. You don't want to harbor a sense of the rudeness and hold a grudge, yet you are also free not to return to the store. You don't want to make a big deal of anyone's inconsiderateness, yet maybe that store is not the right place for you.

The core of life is My existence, and not what is portrayed on the screen of life. On the screen of life the conflagration of minds at war with themselves acts itself out. The names of their acts are drama and tragedy. They are crying for attention, and they will be noticed. "See me!" they are saying. "See how you have denied me!" they are saying. "See how I make you notice me!"

And they are schoolchildren who carve their name on a desk. They make their mark. They sear their name across the sky of life.
