“Our intention creates our reality.”~ Wayne Dyer

The road is paved with good intentions isn’t it? If there was a dollar for every intention that was mine there would be a large pile of money sitting somewhere. Intention though when seen to its end is powerful. There is a wonderful book by Wayne Dyer, The Power of Intention, that provides a new take on this interesting idea, intention.

Intention can be the driving force in life and can make the difference in a well-lived life and one that is only lived. Everything around us comes from intention. The flower you see today grew from a seed with the sole intention of becoming that flower. Things we use everyday were made with intention. Now think about your day. Have you thought what your intention is for today? It can make all the difference if care is given to the day ahead. One intention that could make the difference in life is simple. When there is a choice to be right or to be kind, choose that which brings peace. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if that was the intention of everyone?

This image was taken at the lovely Butchart Gardens and this beautiful place that millions visit each year all came from the intention of Jennie Butchart when her husband’s quarry became exhausted of the lime deposits that were used in the demand for the making of cement. She stepped in and turned the gigantic pit into the Sunken Gardens by bringing in top soil by horse and cart from nearby farms. This was the beginning of a legacy all from one woman’s intention to replace an industrial part of her land into something beautiful for all people to enjoy. That is the power of intention.

“A good intention clothes itself with sudden power.”~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
