Controling the Weather" width="300" height="200" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The Power of Intention. Controling the Weather</p></div>
<p>I don&#8217;t know about you but the warm weather this fall and the early part of winter is beginning to cause a concern. It makes me think about global warming or the other truth that the ocean floor is heating up. But it all being the same this winter is starting off as a warm and dry season.</p>
<p>I was a rancher back in the 80&#8217;s and it was a constant concern. Were the rains coming or was the frost going to kill the hay or was the price of cattle going to be up or down when we went to market.</p>
<p>Ranching was a continual gamble, it was one thing or another that always came in the way of prosperity. But I must say the largest thing that always got in the way of prosperity was attitude.</p>
<p><span id="more-55"></span></p>
<p>It has taken me a long time to really understand that the universe simply hears your inner intention and gives it back to you. Life is really a mirror; if you want to see your intentions just take a look at your surroundings. There were plenty of farmers and ranchers that were next to my land, they got the same rain, the same sun and the same frost. But year in a year out they seemed to do better than us.</p>
<p>They had newer cars, nicer houses and even had the money to go on vacations. They seemed to always be on top. I knew I worked harder than most; I worked smarter than most but at the end of the year I still had old farm equipment and they were farming with new faster equipment.</p>
<p>While I was farming I always wanted to get ahead enough to have the new equipment so I would not break down so much. You see every time the equipment broke down we would spend the day going to town to get parts and repairing the machine. While the others were finishing up their season of harvest we were just getting 50% in the bin.</p>
<p>Now if &#8220;what you see is what you get&#8221; it becomes obvious I was always seeing broken down equipment and I always got it. I was seeing old equipment and I always had it. And I saw myself needing to work harder than others to succeed and boy I also got a lot of working harder.</p>
<p>So I ask you? Is the weather warmer because of some outside force controlling our planet or in fact have we been educated through the media that the earth is going to be warmer so in turn our intention is creating such an outcome.</p>
<p>I have to tell you a good farming story around intention and the power of prayer. It was quite common that in the fall during harvesting wheat that thunder clouds would form and when they did we would look for the white streaks under the rain cloud in the rain that would indicate hail.</p>
<p>Now when the hail storm would come through a ripe ready to harvest field of wheat it could be devastating enough that not even one head of wheat would be standing where the storm was the worst.</p>
<p>Well such a storm happened, and as it came across the valley you could see it for miles. We had not started to harvest the field that the storm was headed towards but early the next morning I drove to that field and found the crop had been laid down for almost 70% of the field.</p>
<p>But right down the fence line the storm had turned and completely missed our neighbor&#8217;s field. It was a few days later before I saw my neighbor and when I did he told me how he held a very strong intention that his crop would be missed. But latter he realized that as he watched the storm turn and follow the fence line that my crop was totally devastated.</p>
<p>Wow with neighbors like that&#8230;.</p>
<p>He is one of the grandest guys I have ever known and what a powerful knowing he had about intention and changing what might seem like impossible chances to change the weather.</p>
<p>But I truly intend that those that understand collective conscious and the use of intention see the future weather to be perfect for man to live on the planet. That we have an energy source that maintains a free society and a culture that inspires spiritual growth.</p>
<p>Hold clear intention that prosperity comes to you, your family, your neighborhood, your nation and your world. And see our planet transition into a new energy source that is beneficial to every one and everything.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_25" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 214px"><img class="size-full wp-image-25" title="Fear Can Just Be Fear" src="http://www.mysuccessfullife.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/fear-unknown.jpg" alt="Fear is the lack of knowing" width="204" height="245" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Fear is the lack of knowing</p></div>
<p>Are you looming in the shadow of the economic fear? Or are  you feeling a little or maybe even a lot panicked about the economy?</p>
<p>Is there a tightening in the chest or a lump in the throat?  Is there a pain in the pit of your stomach?</p>
<p>Well if there is; join the crowd of fear motivated mindsets.</p>
<p>The Chicken Little syndrome of the sky is falling is one  that consistently prevails in the twilight zone of the unknown.</p>
<p>Can you hear the music? &#8230;do DO do DO do DO do DO…</p>
<p>A definition of fear that I like to use is to be trying to  understand or describe the unknown. For example, what is death, or what is war,  or what is leaving, or what is tomorrow going to be really about.</p>
<p>And it is real easy to find yourself in the twilight zone  wondering how that might be.</p>
<p><strong>As you can see, fear is in the unknown.</strong><span id="more-24"></span></p>
<p>I had a client say “fear can just be fear,” but in his  example he was in a small boat trying to get to shore from his fishing boat off  the coast of Alaska.</p>
<p>He said the waves were over 30 feet, it was pitch black in  the middle of the night and could only see the shore when they were at the top  of the waves.</p>
<p>He said now that was fear, and I asked the question. “If you  knew that the small boat was going to make it to shore safely would the ride  full of fast ups and downs with flashes of excitement have been considered fun  and enjoying?”</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">I have to tell you in reality all fear is the lack of  knowing. </span></p>
<p>And so in this process of life there are two ultimate opposing  forces that drive each and every decision in our lives. One is fear motivation  and the other is love motivation.</p>
<p>You know the feeling of fear but do you know the feeling of  love motivation. Or even the meaning of love motivation.</p>
<p>As you can see if fear is the lack of knowing and fear is  the opposite of love then love motivation is the knowing of your future and  knowing it with passion.</p>
<p>It is the volume of passion involved in your effort that  will give evidence to the amount of love that is involved.</p>
<p><strong>A great phrase that I like to use is “Let Go and Let God.” </strong></p>
<p>That is to say, let go of the past fear and trust that your  tomorrow is safe. But without an understanding of clear and present safety the  brain will naturally start wondering and worrying about the unknown.</p>
<p>Those that choose to go through life without setting an  intention or clear and focused goals will always find themselves wasting  valuable time on the unknown.</p>
<p>Remember that intention reinforced through well-placed and  repeated affirmations is the best way to overcome the unknown. A well place  affirmation in our lives often will remind us of the truth and hold our  intention and goals in alignment to our purpose.</p>
<p>Make sure that when writing an intention it fulfills your  inner desires and is not a shallow wish to keep up with the Joneses. Intention  statements only satisfy the inner you to overcome the unknown.</p>
<p>For example if you were to think for one moment that a car  or a new house would cause you to feel safe then you simply want something for  nothing.</p>
<p>The real intentions of life are to remind yourself in  gratitude of the joy you presently experience.</p>
<p>For example if you are living in a rundown old house that  causes you to feel fear of rejection then set intention or repeat affirmations  of having joy in your beautiful house.</p>
<p>Well this is when the magic shows up, when the inner you  really gets the feeling of joy in your beautiful house. And boom you start  feeling joy and feel blessed for it. The energy becomes contagious and the  local builder shows up on your doorstep with the keys to your new house.</p>
<p>But I must say the emotion must come first because if you  are intending to find joy with out a new house that is truly what you will  find.</p>
<p>Let me give you one more example, a client of mine needed  $100,000 dollars to invest in a very limited offering into a software company  that was guaranteed to increase his investment as much as 100 times.</p>
<p>He had been working for over two months hoping to get the  money put together in time before the offering was closed. He contacted me with  the hopes of me helping him through the process.</p>
<p>He came to my office and spent a few hours with me. We then  spent a few more hours on the phone and just like magic or as though the  universe was waiting to hear the message the money showed up overnight.</p>
<p>Stay on purpose towards your goal and you always become a  leader in any army. But those that are looking for the sky to be falling will  always find the evidence to prove their view to be correct.</p>
<p>What you see is what you get so look for the abundant life  because that is the only way you can ever get there.</p>
