One of my guiding Truths: Intention IS Everything. It is. In France, we have a saying that states: «It’s the intention that matters» (you can debate that into a philosophical debate, like «yes but even if you have good intentions regarding something, if the way you choose to actually get there is shady *or worse*, then is the intention what really matters in the first place ?) but that is not what it is about here.
In my Spiritual life, and for example as a Practical Reiki Master (a different branch of Reiki than the most known Usui original one), everything begins with an intention. Intention is like the seed from what everything else will grow from.
Intention is linked to visualization, both combined into what will help me to figure out what the action needed to get what I want is,
With years and experience, I noticed that yes, wishful thinking alone is powerless (maybe for now, but this is my current Truth).

I read something in the newspaper the other day… it said that when people daydream about something a lot, they stop action, because they are satisfied enough just to think about it!
Sounds kind of sad. Or maybe because we wish and dream about something a lot, maybe it tricks us into thinking we are doing an action???? I don’t know.
I am not that surprised about what you read in the newspaper. I guess that some people yes, of course, bask into the daydream and won’t take any action to actually make these dreams become a tangible reality.
In my case, I do dream a lot. Like a lot lot, but with time I learned that these were meant to become my reality so i will work my butt off to make it come true. It may or it may not happen eventually but at least I would have tried you know.
What about you ?
