As a powerfully creative individual, you have two
incredible tools that form the foundation of your creative
power. Whether you're aware of it or not, you're already
using one of these tools to create everything you currently
experience in your life - good and bad alike.

Begin using these two tools together, and you'll harness
a creative force within you to manifest your heart's desire.
Before you can do that, however, you'll need to use the 4
magic words I'll share with you in a moment. First, let's
talk about the powerful tools to which I'm referring.

The tools are attention and intention.

Attention is defined as:
"Concentration of the mental powers upon an object."

You use attention any time you concentrate your thoughts
upon something, whether it's an object or just another thought.

A simple law of the universe says wherever you focus your
attention, you also focus your creative energy. In other words,
what you think about, you create in your experience.

The second tool, intention, is defined as:
"An aim that guides action."

Intention is the aim, the object or the reality you want to
bring into your experience.

Intention is "the object of your desires."

When you focus your *attention* on what you want and
make it your *intention* to create it, you take hold of a
creative force that can literally move mountains.

Alexander Graham Bell spoke of this force when he stated
the following:

"What this power is I cannot say; all I know is that it
exists and it becomes available only when a man is in
that state of mind in which he knows exactly what he
wants and is fully determined not to quit until he finds
it."

The 4 magic words that position you to use this creative
force is your own life are...

"What do I want?"

Sounds simple, right? It is. But it's not always easy to
know what you want.

Further, when you do actually decide what you want, you
face the challenge of asking for and receiving it.

Even further, you've faced those times when you actually got
what you wanted, only to discover it wasn't as great as you
expected.

You end up just accepting and tolerating whatever life
throws you, whether in the form of your career, your mate,
your income, your living environment, etc.

Then, of course, in our state of "tolerating life," the
more we focus upon what we don't want, the more of it we
experience.

In the words of fitness guru Susan Powter...

"Stop the insanity!"

"What do I want?" Begin using these 4 words each day. As
Stephen Covey says, "write it down, asterisk it, underline
it." If you ask it, the answers will come. Keep asking
until the answers do come.

See, you will always get something, even if it's only more
of the same. My good friend and fellow Coach, Bryden
Manning talks about "Christmas morning relationships."

As a child, when you awoke Christmas morning, you knew
you'd have stuff under the tree. But if you didn't make a
list of what you wanted, there's no telling what you'd get.

It works the same with every area of your life. Every day
is Christmas morning. You'll always get something. Have you
made your list yet?

"What do I want?" Just say it outloud with me.

"What...do...I...want?"

If you have a hard time with this question, consider taking
a class or work with a coach. It's too important a question
to ignore any longer. It's your life, after all.

Start today. Say it..."what do I want?"

To the extent you get clear on the answer to this question,
to that same extent can you focus your attention on it and
make it your intention to create it.

I'll leave you with the simple and direct words of Walt
Whitman, who said "claim your own at any hazard."

It's your life! Make it great.
