Talk about a lack of attention to intention.

What exactly is that three-word phrase and what does it mean?

As I mentioned in my last post, the phrase, “Attention To Intention” popped into my consciousness one night when waking up from a dream. What it means to me is that you need to always keep your intention clearly in your mind. I know the idea is a little insulting, but the process involved is rather like the old carrot on the stick. Keep the carrot (intention) always before you and you’ll always be moving forward towards your goal. Keeping it present is the most important aspect of this; that and having a clear goal in the first place.

Once you get your sights set on the prize, it’s a lot easier to not be diverted by all the Oughta-Pilots(tm) that show up as soon as you’ve identified it.

You can’t believe how wonderful it feels when everyone around you is giving you advice and yet you don’t lose sight of what you’re doing and why and you can take their advice, but remember that advice is worth what you pay for it. By that I mean, you don’t have to take it as gospel, consider it if it sounds valid, but remember it may not be any truer than anything else you’ve heard.

WE Are In Charge Of Our Own Choices

I say there are only a few truths: Water is wet, rocks are hard and perhaps there’s a few more out there, but you get the idea. You do NOT have to do what your parents/teachers/spouses/guru-of-the-days  say once you’ve chosen to live a life of your own making. They’re trying to do the same thing you are – find happiness and satisfaction. Poor folks who don’t know what you do – that we’re all in charge of our own choices.

So, to summarize, choose your goal(s), and don’t lose sight of it.  Keep it in front of you somehow – with a vision board, bulletin board, screensaver, anything that works for you. Filter all advice through your own belief system, disconnect the oughta-pilots(tm) and fly, baby, fly!

I’d wash him and his bedding, air out the rattan basket, vacuum and spray the rug under the basket and any place he’d been laying and he’d get into his basket, ready for a nap (he does that very well, by the way) and just when he was relaxed and drowsing off, he’d suddenly jump up and out of the basket and start scratching and biting at himself. Poor thing.

He caught fleas last Thanksgiving when we visited my daughter and stayed at the Travelodge near the Portland Airport (don’t ever stay there with a pet). He’s one of those dogs allergic to fleabites so we almost lost him. But the battle sure has made me think.

How many times have we thought that we’d handled an issue, a problem, a test or a challenge and thought we were finished with it? So we relax and go about our merry way until it shows back up and smacks us in the face once again?

I woke up with a start the other evening, with three little words going around and around in my brain -

ATTENTION TO INTENTION

I’d be really interested to hear what those three words mean to you.  Next post, I’ll discuss what they mean to me.

Are you doing what you were born to do or what you have learned to do? It isn’t always easy to discern the difference.

What is an Oughta-Pilot(tm)?

The precise definition of Oughta-Pilot(tm) is:

Letting an “ought to” or a “should”  be the primary motivation for how you live your life, the choices and decisions you make and the attitudes and feelings that arise therefrom.

Oughta-Pilots can be yours or someone else’s, but they’re stringy and sticky and really hard to get rid of – sort of like the cockroaches in my first apartment.

I spent the first 47 years of my life doing everything others said or thought I “oughta” do. I made myself miserable trying to do and be what my parents, teachers, spouses and so-called friends said I “should”.  Then, one day, I woke up and claimed my own BirthRight. Now I live a conscious, created life and take responsibility for my actions.

I’ve started teaching others how to disconnect their OP’s as well. There is a specific process I have developed and I’m tickled to say, have folded into a 6-week e-course as well as an all day workshop. The e-course will allow you to work through the process in privacy, but if you want to really turbocharge the experience and get going on a new course, the workshop is the way to go.

We’re all trying to do a little better for ourselves, right? Working for things like…

• More Money
• A Better Career
• A More Loving Relationship
• A Healthy Weight and Body Image
• And a “Better Lifestyle” Overall

I’ve got something which can help you do all of this and more. And over a 6-week period, I want to personally share these things with you. If you…

• need help to define exactly what you want
• need to have your questions answered
• need to learn practices necessary to live a created life
• need to learn specifically how to manifest the health, money, and relationships you yearn for

…then I can help you.

My exclusive, 6-week “Disconnect Your Oughta-PilotTM” course is designed to bring you a new understanding of who you are, what you want and where to go next.

The 6-week course includes teleseminars, interactive networking calls, guest speakers, and more. You’ll also be able to discuss everything and get your questions answered in an online forum.

Watch this space to find out when it’s ready to launch.  I’m looking for beta testers now.  If you’re interested in participating, please send me an email at contact (at) oughtapilotgone (dot) com.

Till next time,
