What's the Only Thing You Need to Have Your Intentions Fulfilled?

I thought I knew what it takes to fulfil one's intentions and realise one's dreams. In fact, I had it ​all mapped out in a 5-step process. I coached it to my clients and it worked magic for them. Their life shifted, my life shifted as a consequence though it was a slow process. So, I taught the virtue of compassionate love, gratitude and patience to myself and to my clients. That added its own magic to the mix. Results accelerated because peace and stillness descended where there was unacknowledged and unconscious angst, anger and upset; showing up in the form of stress, impacting productivity, performance, creativity, innovation and health.

My clients evolved in their journey and I evolved as an outcome of that and as an outcome of me raising 2 kids. I say as an outcome of both because I wanted to show up as a better human being every new day for my kids and for my clients that had me model all that I was coaching them on.

Then, I had a moment of epiphany, the moment for which the entire journey so far was, the moment that could not have been without the journey before.

I understood, finally, the secret to fulfilling one's 100% intentions and realising one's impossible, unimaginable dreams; dreams so big that they scare you.

Either one could be right; or have one's intentions be fulfilled by generously letting everyone else be right. Either I could have my way; or fulfil my intentions by providing space for others to have their way.

Either one could take all the credit; or realise one's greatest dreams in deepest communion with one's highest self by generously giving all the credit away. Either I could work hard to be appreciated, acknowledged and applauded; or fulfil my dreams effortlessly by silently supporting others to fulfil their dreams, for them to feel complete, fulfilled and at peace. 

​Of course, this requires a massive shift in our human consciousness from fear-based evolutionary survival instinct to joyous love-sourced consciousness with defenceless (no urge to defend or protect oneself) childlike trust and faith. 

The journey of human evolution isn't over as yet. Physical evolution sure has played its part. The evolution journey is now in the domain of emotional, intellectual and spiritual bodies. This evolution will be played out in the organisations as businesses would be forced to evolve from good to great in search for more and sustainable profit, possible only if there is leadership evolution at home and at work.

"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."

"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.

"Sometimes." said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."

"Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?"

"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair have been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be Ugly, except to people who don't understand."

Come home to yourself to experience the Real you; and you will find all the wealth and success chasing you, instead of the other way around.
