Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is:  I align my thoughts and beliefs with my stated intentions.

If we start off with the thought that we won't succeed at something, the Universe responds to what we say and think, and interprets that as a request... that we don't want to succeed. After all, didn't we just state that we wouldn't? 

This is why our intention is such a powerful tool in everyday life. We must have the intention (which includes our expectations, beliefs, etc.) that we will attain our goal. Whatever our goal is, whether short-term or long-term, our belief translates into intention.

If we want to attain a goal, we must first believe that we will attain it, or at the least that we can attain it. If we start off with the thought (again which becomes translated into an intent) that we won't reach our goal, we just closed the door in our own face. Just be sure to examine your thoughts and beliefs and make sure they align with your stated intentions.
