Intention Manifestation Is Becoming A Mainstream Notion

By Joshua James

Since the release of "The Secret, " the idea that we create our own dreams through the power of intention manifestation has reached a broader range of people. Once an "out there" idea, it is now a common topic of discussion, as people discover their curiosity about the mysteries of our own subconscious minds. Being responsible for what happens in our lives is becoming a more popular concept.

Being open to the idea that our reality is our own creation is powerful. The simplicity of performing daily tasks, whether it be cooking a meal or running an errand, can be seen as part of our mental picture before it reaches the physical world. Expanding that concept to include creating more of what we want in our lives, seen in this way, is not a huge stretch.

Many books have been written about visualization, positive thinking, affirmations and the like. For some, they lead to disappointment when they don't return an instant return. For others, it develops a habit of using the mind as a tool to see the world in a more positive light. Setting goals and imagining them to be achieved can be a powerful tool for shining a finer light on one's life.

This can sound overly simple, and perhaps it it. But for many, the act of taking responsibility for the results in their lives has led to personal empowerment. They have a feeling of success, however they define it. For many, it has nothing to do with material wealth; success is defined as having a full life on their own terms. Taking charge and achieving what one wants from life can be a scary idea, but when it works, it is a positive concept.

For so many more, taking responsibility for their lives seems daunting. They feel no control in their lives and no power to change them. The ways to turn this attitude around could fill a book store, and if it were easy, we would all be living the lives or our dreams. There doesn't seem to be a magic trick to all of this, as each person's life unfolds in a unique way.

So what is the key? Perhaps there is more to this life than we know, deeper levels of meaning that we have yet to discover and understand. Or perhaps there is not deeper meaning and it is all random. There is no way to know, but to improve one's outlook on life seems to be one way to improve that life. The old adage "attitude is everything" rings true.

Maybe the key lies in learning to tap into one's intuition, to take action based on that quiet inner voice. Maybe the key is in developing a positive attitude, even in the face of adversity. Maybe there is no key, and we're searching for something that doesn't exist.

However we wish to define our lives, intention manifestation is a compelling concept. Learning to tap into the power of our own minds is a growing and compelling notion, and taking responsibility for how our lives are working, or not working, is a challenge worth taking.
