The Secret to Getting What You Want

<h1>The Secret to Getting What You Want - Intention and Focus</h1>Author: <a title="Veronica Hay" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/veronica-hay/44867.htm">Veronica Hay</a> I am sure most of you have already heard that what we focus on expands, but have you really experienced that in your own life? Have you really noticed it, because if you did, you would be very diligent about where you put your attention. Have you been tuning into the news with its stories of doom and gloom or have you decided to create your own news, direct your own show, with you as the star. 
 
I?ll share with you a story here to illustrate the power of ?Intention and Focus?. 
 
I was in the grocery store last week and it was very crowed. Every single isle was filled with people and shopping carts. It was very difficult to maneuver my way through this crowd and on top of that there were a few screaming children along the way as well. I began to feel anxious and frustrated. I had to be at an appointment and I could see that this was going to take more time than I thought. And then I remembered the words -Intention and Focus. 
 
So, I stood at the very top of one of the store isles, and I looked straight ahead to the very end of the isle. I focused there. That was where I wanted to go, to the end of that isle in record time, as if there was no one else there but me. Then all of a sudden, out of the blue, people started moving their carts out of the way for me to move by. I did this very same thing through the rest of the store, isle by isle. I kept my eyes straight ahead focusing on where I wanted to go. I did not waver. It seemed like there was a shift in energy, the children stopped crying, the carts moved, and in a few minutes there I was, at my destination, groceries quickly bought and paid for. It worked like a charm. It seemed like a miracle to me, but it happened. I finished my shopping with plenty of time to get to my appointment. 
 
So, there you have it, Intention and Focus at its best, in a simple grocery store. If you don?t believe me, try it for yourself. 
 
What about you? Would you like 2009 to be the very best year of your life so far and would you like some help in setting your intention and clearing your focus?

The Characteristics of a Good Leader

By: Emile A. Jarreau | 19/12/2009
The position of a leader is as empowering as it is exhausting. Irrespective of the fact that you are a leader at a school or a community or at your workplace, you are the subject of a lot of expectations. There is no set formula that can help you become the leader who can efficiently meet all these expectations…

Conflict Management Training - Understanding unreasonable customer demands

By: Eamonn Dennis | 19/12/2009
Why not try this the next time you are in your bank's branch: Demand from the counter staff that they write off your mortgage or your credit card bills. When staff politely respond that this is not possible, accuse them of giving you a mortgage or credit you could not afford - so it's their fault! They might then look at you incredulously and try again to turn you down politely.

Conflict Management Training - Handling difficult people

By: Eamonn Dennis | 19/12/2009
The bully, the gossip, the misery, the know-it-all, the procrastinator, the silent presence, the 'I want to be everyone's friend'... We've all met them. In fact, if we are totally honest, there's probably a little of these in all of us!

Conflict Management Training - Dealing with conflict during change

By: Eamonn Dennis | 19/12/2009
When dealing with colleagues or anyone else who may be coming from a different perspective to us, there is always potential for conflict. Clashes of personality, styles, and expectations can lead to anything from innocent misunderstandings to inappropriate behaviour and open hostility.

Conflict Management Training - Managing unpredictable behaviour

By: Eamonn Dennis | 19/12/2009
With normal everyday behaviour, we can predict a great deal. We say 'hello' and we expect someone to say 'hello' back. There are many social conventions that all 'normally' behaving people comply with: if I enter a waiting room in which you are already sitting, unless I know you I will sit with at least one empty chair between us; if we are strangers, then I don't expect you to come up and hug me; etc.

Conflict Management Training - What angry customers want

By: Eamonn Dennis | 19/12/2009
During this current credit crunch the public need their banks and money to be safe (our primary want). In theory then, if our financial institutions are safe, we should all feel satisfied. Unfortunately for the banks, we also have some other, secondary wants that are not being addressed and are causing a lot of disquiet. It would be nice to know for example, who is responsible? Are they going to explain what happened? Are they going to apologise?

By: Veronica Hay | 26/02/2009 | Self Improvement
