The Direction of Intention

126.
Join me in inspiring truly powerful people. Each day I will add a new thought, story or idea to support your quest and mine.

Every year for the past three years I have been privileged to co-teach a class with Alan Seale. It is for coaches who desire mastery. There is a potent exercise from the class that I periodically do for myself because I never fail to gain an important insight or uncover something that I need to reconsider or let go.

The exercise goes like this: look around your life and imagine that you created all of it. What if you and only you create your love relationships, your friendships, and your casual relationships? What if you create your work situation? What if you create your physical health? What if you create your spiritual wellness? What if you create your financial situation? Your angst, your dissatisfaction, your fear,…what if you create it all? What do you see as a creator? You might even go so far as to imagine that you create the political situation in the country; that you participate in happenings in the world.

As creator, what are you happy about creating? What are you unhappy about creating? What would you like to change – assume that you have the capacity to create and the capacity make changes to your creation; what prevents you from changing what you dislike? What insights are available when you entertain the notion that you are creating your world?

Of course, the kicker is that you are creating your world through the story you tell yourself. What possibilities blossom when you accept that the story is in you, you are not in the story?
