"Five seagulls are sitting on a dock. One of them decides to fly away. How many seagulls are left?"
"Well... four."
"No," he responded. "There are still five. Deciding to fly away and actually flying away are two very different things. Listen to me carefully. Despite popular belief to the contrary, there is absolutely no power in intention. The seagull may intend to fly away, may decide to do so, may talk with other seagulls about how wonderful it is to fly, but until the seagull flaps his wings and takes air, he is still on the dock. There's no difference between that gull and all the others. Likewise, there is no difference in the person who intends to do things differently and the one who never thinks about it in the first place." -Andy Andrews, The Noticer
Every so often, you come across a passage that stops you in your tracks. This is one of those passages. How many intentions have you set so far this year? More importantly, what actions are you taking to turn those intentions into reality?
Powerful stuff! Usually when I set an intention, I think about the action items necessary to make it happen, that way I can make it sure it actually becomes my reality.
