If you’ve set an intention, but it does not seem to be coming true for you, you may get frustrated and think all of the steps you are learning don’t really work.

But, often times we are unaware of what is really creating our results and more importantly, how to change them.

Here are the most common reasons your intentions don’t equal your outcomes.

1. You are not aware of your thoughts – Your thoughts have a vibration and actually a sound that go out and draw things back to you. You may think you have a random thought and it just stops. But, it actually has a vibration that goes out from you and eventually comes back.

Even if you are worrying or criticizing another person, those thoughts enter the other person’s aura and then come back to you. So, you may have good intentions when worrying about others, but that actually comes back to you.

2. Your words don’t align with your intentions – You may be wanting a particular intention, but you are not speaking as if it is true or that you are becoming the person in your vision.

Instead, you may be criticizing and seeing what you don’t have. When your speech is not in alignment with your intentions, you can block your progress without even knowing it.

3. You are agreeing with beliefs that aren’t the Truth - You may look at your weight or checkbook or relationship status and may not like the “facts” of what is happening. But, it’s important to know that the facts and your Truth (your power to create) are totally different. When you claim and recognize your power, you can align your beliefs with what you want to create.

4. You are not doing the type or level of action needed or are not doing it for the length of time required - You may be taking action, but it’s important to ask yourself:

• Am I doing the type of action needed to create the results I want?
• Am I doing the level of action needed to bring about the goal I have set?
• Am I doing it for the time required?

Often times people aren’t honest with themselves and don’t take a hard look to see if what they are doing is enough for the particular outcome they want to create.

They also may become the victim vs. asking “what needs to change in me?” Or they stop when they are in the process of creation and lose the momentum.

So what do you do? How do you align your intentions with your outcomes?

1. The first step is self-inquiry. That’s where you observe your thoughts, beliefs, speech and actions. When you become the observer, you bring awareness in these areas and can start to change them.

It’s not a matter of trying to get rid of negative thoughts or beliefs because that’s exhausting. It’s aligning with the Truth in those situations.

2. The second step is to continue to study and have mentors that remind you of the Truth. When you stop doing this, you rely on yourself having to overcome your years of unconscious conditioning.

The most successful leaders and teachers all have support, so make sure you are getting yours.

As a special gift to you, I have included a recording I did for a class I was teaching on this very subject. I encourage you to take an hour and listen to it. It goes into more detail then I covered in the article. Keep taking this time and investing it in you. It’s the one investment that can sustain any ups and down.
