1. Be Creative
The first face of intention is creativity. Creativity is essential to living an intentional life because it allows you to begin to see connections and opportunities that you were not conscious of before.
The face of creativity intends you toward continued creativity to create and co-create anything that you direct your power of intention toward. Creative energy is a part of you; it originates in the life-giving Spirit that intends you.
The universe does not work in a linear, logical manner. Synchronicity will emerge from unexpected and seemingly ‘random’ places, when you are prepared for it. By training yourself to become more creative, and allowing your natural expression to flow forth, you can begin to tap into more of this energy.
2. Be Kind
Kindness and compassion are cornerstones of any true spiritual practice. Being kind in all circumstances requires you to gain a higher perspective and begin to see the world from another’s point of view.
Choosing to be kind is a choice to have the power of intention active in your life. Imagine this! Kindness extended, received, or observed beneficially impacts the physical health and feelings of everyone involved!
When you are kind, you emit a radiant, positive energy, and let the universe know that peace and well-being are important to you. This sets your intention and clears the way for the manifestation of more positive experiences in your life.
3. Be Love
Love is a quality that you create for yourself. When you emit a vibration of love, you prepare to receive more of that same energy from those around you. In other words, when it comes to love, you get what you give.
As Ralph Waldo Emerson put it: ‘Love is our highest word and the synonym for God.’ If you aren’t doing what you love and loving what you do, your power of intention is weakened. You attract into your life more of the dissatisfaction that isn’t the face of love.” He also quotes St. Francis: “‘Where there is hatred, let me sow love.’ What he is saying is the power to dissolve and ultimately convert hate into the energy of love.”
Dyer writes that you were intended from a state of a love, which is why you must love in order to create intentions for yourself, and that the key to doing this is to focus on a spirit of loving cooperation, rather than competition over others.
4. Be Beauty
Beauty is everywhere around you. It doesn’t matter whether you are at the beach, on a mountainside, or staring at an urban construction site: if you look for it, you will find beauty.
Beautiful thoughts build a beautiful soul. As you become receptive to seeing and feeling beauty around you, you’re becoming attuned to the creative power of intention within everything in the natural world, including yourself.
Learning to appreciate this beauty everywhere is an essential aspect of awakening into your divine nature, and as you begin to see it even in unexpected moments, it will become more and more prevalent for you, forming a stronger and stronger part of your vibration.
5. Be Ever-Expansive
The key to intention is to balance an appreciation for the joy, beauty, and abundance that is already before you with a desire to continue to grow and expand.
The power of intention is the power to expand and increase all aspects of your life. No exceptions! It’s the nature of intention to be in a state of increased expression, so it’s true for you, too.
Wherever you are, at whatever stage in your growth you may be (whether physical, intellectual, material, or spiritual) there will always be more you can desire of yourself. Learning to create these desires and expand joyfully, without invalidating where you are right now, is a powerful practice.
6. Be Abundant
We live in an abundant, thriving universe. At the core of your being, you are, in essence, part of an infinite field of energy. This energy births you and everything in your world and, since you are a part of this energy, you can tap into it to create anything you choose for yourself.
You don’t have to have an intellectual understanding. It’s enough to silently know and proceed to live with your awareness of this face of endless abundance.
We restrict ourselves when we think of abundance only in terms of money. In truth, it is everywhere, from the leaves on the trees around you, to the love you can feel for others. Become attuned to this abundance, and you will attract more of it – in all forms – into your life.
7. Be Receptive
Lastly, Dyer writes that the key to receiving your intention is to become more receptive to it. When we try to outline specific ways in which our desires will unfold, we limit ourselves, and often miss the very unfolding we seek.
Receptivity enables you to remain curious, excited, and open about your desires, so you can experience them more fully.
You must not only become receptive to having guidance available to you to manifest your human intentions, but you must be receptive to giving this energy back to the world
