As we start the new year, it's a good idea to reflect on what has happened in the previous one so that we can set our intentions for the next. It used to be that new years intentions had a short-term, descriptive meaning for something that we wanted to change about ourselves. So we may want to lose weight, exercise more, relax, work, and the like. But what with Dr. Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, Jerry & Esther Hicks, The Secret and its teachers (and so on) high lighting the Law of Attraction, intention takes on a larger meaning. Now we know that intention can be powerfully used to create or manifest results into our lives.

So we must really look at the results of our past thinking (intentions) as manifested in our lives at the present time. Because, what we have right now is the direct result of what you have been intending or thinking about. If you truly intended to have a home business for example, then you will have one right now. If you only intended that you intended to have a Stay at Home business, then you still only intend to have one. As all of the aforementioned teachers have indicated, we must have the intention, we must act as if we already have it, believe we deserve it, and take action where indicated and appropriate. Many times what we want does not necessarily fall into our laps, and we must do those things to achieve our goals that are presented to us. Our intuition will tell us when it is the right thing to do. If something doesn't feel quite right, then we shouldn't do it. Do not worry about missing a "once in a lifetime" chance as there will be another great opportunity just around the corner. Neither should we hesitate when "it" does feel right. As Dr. Joe Vitale says "The Universe likes speed!"



One thing to remember when making a decision is to examine whether any of the possible consequences can be lived with and handled. If a suboptimal choice is made, we will still have the ability to make the optimal choice at any point in time. All options are all available if we look hard enough. Read Gary Zukav's stuff for more on this point.



Where do we want to be at the end of 2008? Picture yourself as already there, in every detail. Write this goal down. Bob Proctor suggests to write it like this: I am so happy and grateful now that__________. Create vision boards, boxes, scrapbooks etc... Jack Canfield advises writing a list of all steps needed to achieve your goal (then you can work on them throughout the year) and continually add, delete, and edit the items on the list. You will feel great with the progress and will see positive results. You need to feel the powerful and joyful feeling of gratitude for receiving what you already have as well as the feeling you will have when you get what you are intending.



We have a great opportunity, each and every day to create the things in our lives that we want. What is it that you really want? Dream big dreams and see them to fruition. Bob Proctor points out that if anyone anywhere has achieved something before, then it is possible for someone else to do the same. And we can each be that someone, if we can want it bad enough and feel it.

I have only briefly touched upon how the Law of Attraction can come into play on the start of a New Year. It is imperative that we learn more everyday from whatever source we can find. I recommend that you at least check out the information provided to you as a link to the names (please note that none of these are any kind of affiliate link - they are there for learning purposes only). Research anything else you can find to make your life and business a success in 2008 and beyond.
