Using The Power Of Intention

Creative Exchange

Some are afflicted with the disease of pleasing.
They don’t know how to say no so they will give in
To outrageous requests made of them by others.
Since by now it’s a habit it often it occurs.
They can’t change their behavior, much to their chagrin,
Of finding people most worthy of appeasing.

But intention is at the heart of creating
Authentic power. If you’ve the strength to say no
To someone then it will become easier to
Say no into the future. You’ll enter a new
Realm of being. Your sense of wellbeing will grow.
In essence you want to be self-advocating.

The disease to please is cured by your intention
To be better than you have known yourself to be.
If you don’t want to do it then don’t. It’s okay
To say no without letting guilt get in the way
Of your purpose. You are meant to live happily.
You’re not here to devote service to anyone.

Your intention will ultimately determine
The outcome. Your intention in fact is the cause
Of the wanted effect. You cannot separate
The two. Through your intention you want to create
Your dream in accordance with spiritual laws.
Right now is the perfect time for you to begin.

Viewing Others’ Contrast

Moment Of Despair

I can deal with my own contrast but watching those
Who experience trauma much greater than mine
Takes me deep into darkness where I don’t belong.
I feel that my feeling what they’re feeling is wrong.
It would be an atrocity if I felt fine
When I see people living among the shadows.

I’m not in tune with my inner being. That’s why
I can’t feel true compassion in a selfish way
Which means getting in touch with their inner being.
Theirs and mine have a different way of seeing
What looks much like disaster. I’m willing to pay
More attention to what my spirit won’t deny.

The assumption is that contrast is a bad thing.
But does everyone feel the same thing when they see
It around them? Does everyone feel the same way
About contrast? What does my spirit have to say
About it? Am I allowing myself to be
Of some help through the vibration I’m offering?

Contrast is beneficial. It helps us to grow
Into master creators. Each burning desire
Born of contrast serves everyone in the long run.
One can know that true enlightenment has begun
When one sees contrast as something life must require
For expansion. We must learn to go with the flow.
