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 4 magic words I'll share with you in a moment. First, let's talk about powerful tools to which I'm referring.

The tools are attention and intention.

Attention is defined as: "Concentration of 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 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 aim, object or 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 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.

"It's not okay to get what I want."

Not only do I see it in others, but it's also one of my own personal favorites. How about you? Does any of this ring true for you?

"What I want" can be anything from last piece of pizza to a certain amount of time to yourself to a happy marriage to a career or business you really want.

Whatever object of desire, there's an underlying belief or feeling that says it's not okay to have it.

Several months ago, during a session with my own coach, I came face to face with this very issue. I'd been working more than usual, and my coach was really challenging me to tell my employer I needed following day off.

That was a tough challenge to consider. Although I probably deserved a day off as much as anyone else, there was something in me that fought idea.

I thought how nice it would be to not have any agenda for whole day, and I wanted to take that day off. But still, I could feel tension arise within me as she challenged me further.

The end result was I did take day off - just not that particular day. We compromised. Actually, I compromised. Right? Wrong? Who knows. Who cares? The world is still running fine, and I haven't lost any sleep over my decision.

The first of 28 Attraction Principles in Thomas Leonard's "The Portable Coach" is "Become Incredibly Selfish." Hmm. I wonder if Thomas saw this as a common issue with his clients, friends and colleagues? If you haven't read book yet, I'd suggest you pick up a copy. He gives a whole new definition for word selfish.

Along with that, here are a few tips I'll offer as well.

1. Learn to recognize this belief working in your life. Do you rarely make time for yourself? Do you find yourself involved in all sorts of projects that you really don't enjoy? Are you doing and having everything except that which you really want? Those are a few ways this belief may show up in your life.
