Setting an intention and being open to divine inspiration are two different approaches that can help us achieve our goals and navigate our journey through life.

Each approach has its benefits and distinctive features, and choosing one or the other depends on your personal beliefs, mindset, and goals.

Setting an intention is a conscious choice to direct your energy, thoughts, and actions towards a specific goal or desired outcome. It involves articulating a clear, positive statement that aligns with your values, vision, and purpose. Intentions can be related to anything that matters to you, from personal growth and well-being to career advancement and relationships.

The power of intention lies in its ability to focus your attention and motivation on what you want, rather than what you don’t want. By setting an intention, you create a mental framework that guides your actions, helps you stay on track, and reminds you of your why.

To set an intention, start by identifying your goal or desire. Write it down and visualize it in detail. Then, craft a statement that reflects your intention in a clear, positive, and present tense. For example: “I am committed to cultivating more love, peace, and joy in my life every day.” Repeat your intention regularly, either silently or out loud, and take deliberate actions that align with it. You will be amazed at how quickly and effortlessly your life can change when you set a clear intention and take action towards it.

On the other hand, being open to divine inspiration means allowing your intuition, higher self, or spiritual wisdom to guide your actions and decisions. It involves trusting that there is a greater force at work in your life that can guide you towards your highest good and purpose, even if you don’t know what that is yet.

Divine inspiration can come in many forms, such as synchronicities, insights, dreams, symbols, or signs. The key is to be receptive and open to them, to let go of your ego’s need for control and certainty, and to trust the wisdom of the universe.

To open yourself to divine inspiration, start by cultivating a sense of surrender and trust in the universe. Acknowledge that you don’t know everything and that you are willing to be guided towards your highest potential. Practice mindfulness and self-awareness to become more attuned to your intuition and inner voice. Pay attention to your dreams, signs, and synchronicities, and be open to their messages. Take action when you feel drawn to something, even if it doesn’t make logical sense or doesn’t align with your previous plans.

So, which approach is better – setting an intention or being open to divine inspiration? The answer is that both are valid and can be used depending on the situation. Setting an intention is more suitable for when you have a clear goal or desire in mind and want to take concrete steps towards achieving it. On the other hand, being open to divine inspiration is more suitable for when you are unsure of what you want or need and want to find guidance or a new direction in your life.

The key is to strike a balance between these two approaches, to use both of them when necessary, and to listen to your inner wisdom to know which one to use at any given time. Remember that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to living a fulfilling and purposeful life, and that the journey is just as important as the destination. By setting an intention or being open to divine inspiration, you are giving yourself the gift of transformation, growth, and self-discovery.

  3. “The key is to strike a balance between these two approaches, to use both of them when necessary, and to listen to your inner wisdom to know which one to use at any given time.” So it seems we “use” one or the other to “strike” with in order to achieve (force?) this balance. In effect they become the tools we use to craft a world to our liking. And then we seem to use wisdom as a measure of how accurate our balance is.
    All the while, Life goes on in its chaotic, unpredictable way, inviting our strikes
    and shears to fashion something more tasteful and civilized. Still, life sees that fashions change, tastes change and civilizations rise and fall.

    1. Indeed, life is inherently unpredictable and chaotic, and finding a balance between opposing approaches can be a challenging task. While we may use these approaches as tools to shape our world, it is important to be mindful of the ever-changing nature of life and the necessity to adapt to its fluctuations. Wisdom, in this context, serves as a guide to assess the effectiveness of our choices and to navigate the ongoing journey of personal growth and societal evolution. Despite the desire for order and control, life’s dynamic nature reminds us that change is inevitable and that we must remain open to the shifts and transformations that unfold.

      1. Perhaps there is only one choice: to say “yes” or “no” to the present moment…
