Have you set your intention?
Today I drew the plans for our new extension on the house. Don’t get too excited; that sounds rather more grand than the sketch I have in front of me! The point of the exercise is not to submit these very detailed but very inaccurate drawings to the local planning office, this is an exercise in setting my intentions.
I love where we live. We’ve been here for 19 years now and although I vaguely consider living somewhere else from time to time (Scotland being the favourite choice!) I don’t think there will ever come a time when this house will not be mine.
There really is only one drawback here, and that is we have no dining room. We love entertaining, I adore cooking, but currently we can only host a buffet type evening or a sit down meal for a maximum of 6 people (and that’s a squeeze!).
The plan I have always had is to build an extension that will become a lounge and small library downstairs, with a bedroom and ensuite bathroom above, turning the existing lounge into a dining room, as it is only 14′ square. In addition to this we will put a conservatory leading off from the kitchen, not too big, just about 10′ x 16′.
So I have now drawn the plans to set my intention and let the Universe know exactly what I want. I thought, with my product going live in the not too distant future, that this would be a good time to decide what I am aiming for.
I hope you know what you are aiming for too. Write it down, draw a picture, make a plan. Let the Universe know what you want from it!
Enjoy the journey.
Hi Mandy,
Well this would be a situation i would be excited about, as for me my goal and plans are simply to live life free happy and be my own person and we both know who the mentor is for that!
TTFN….Ed.
Hi Ed, get those intentions down somewhere and let the Universe know exactly what you want, Ed.
Enjoy the journey.

Hey Mandy, Just a line to say thanks for your unfailing enthusiasm towards everyone on the Masterclass journey. You are a credit to us all. Keep going, bonnie lass (as we used to say in Newcastle). That idea about putting your ideas out into the Universe is a very powerful one and I agree with it.
Regards, Brian.
Aww, thanks, Brian. Lovely of you to drop by. Set your intentions, make that picture board and get it out there!
Enjoy the journey.
Mandy
Lovely Mandy, made me think about setting my intent for the future. Take Care, Sparkles x x x
Hi Rosie,
Get those intentions out there everyone!
Enjoy the journey.
Mandy
Hi Mandy,
Loved the post…
It’s that powerful action step that sets things in motion.
Thanks for the reminder…
Kathy
Yes, Kathy, we all need little reminders from time to time. Writing my product brought all of those helpful tips back to me and reinforced them once again.
Enjoy the journey.
Mandy
Mandy,
Absolutely! That’s just what everyone should be doing, 12 months ago I said I was aiming to work at home, that’s what I headed for and now I’ve done it.
Good luck, can’t wait to see your new product. Sadly I am rather behind but I’m getting more focused to get caught up over the next few weeks.
Ben
Brilliant, Ben, well done! I’ll send you a copy of my product. Hope you enjoy it!
Enjoy the journey.

Hi Mandy
Great idea to set your intentions on paper, it does help to make them seem more real…and I’m sure it speeds up the process too.
I hope all your dreams come true.
cheers
Steve
Thanks, Steve. Yes, putting things down on paper makes them incredibly real.
Enjoy the journey.
Mandy
Hi Mandy,
putting your plans in writing gives you the commitment to start working on them, taking action is what putting your plans in writing is called in the internet marketing business. Dreams will come true with persistence and desire. Cheers to you Mandy for being there all the time.
Andres
Hi Andres, nice of you to drop by. I hope you have your intentions written down too!

Hi Svenja,

Good idea Mandy, It’s no good having a vague idea of what we want out of life. Writing it down gets everything into focus, and makes a positive outcome more likely. Keep working those 25 hour days!

Hi John,

Hi Mandy, I’m quite a domestic person myself. My wife and I have lived in the same house for 27 years! We never stop improving it in one way or another. I’ve run out of places to build decking and my wife’s garden’s consume every available patch of earth.
The closing thoughts you shared are excellent and so important to remember for anyone who’s serious about their goals.
Hi Steve,
Thanks for visiting. I believe it is really important for us to have some idea of what we are aiming for, or we just wander aimlessly along.
Enjoy the journey.
Mandy
Hi Mandy I agree that writing your plans and goals down is a very powerful way to go about achiveing them. It gives us purpose and a sense of direction instsead of aimless wandering.
Take care
Rob
Hi Rob, yes, it really does help to keep them real.
Enjoy the journey,
Mandy
Hi Mandy,
I have a whole list of things going. My big item that I had for a long time on my list was to retire from the government by 55 years old. I did it by 55 1/2 years. It is so cool to make a goal of that magnitude.
Keep Going Green

Hi Jay, great! See, you are proof that it works.

Hi Mandy –
I love the simplicity of what this post offers. We often get clouded with the end result of what we want, but sometimes we just need to make it clear to ourselves (and the universe!) before we can make it clear to others!
Have a great day!
Gwen
Hi Gwen, yes, and it really does help to get it down on paper. Harriet Penhey uses picture boards, a brilliant resource.
Enjoy the journey.
Mandy
Hi Mandy,
I love this post. It has reminded me to write some new goals down and set them off out to the universe. It is true regarding setting our intentions. If we don’t put it out there the universe doesn’t know we want it!
Great post!
Jacinta
Hi Jacinta,
Thanks for visiting, glad you agree, I do think it is very important that we are clear about our intentions.
Enjoy the journey.
