What’s in it for me? Let God light the way ahead.

In our darker moments, many of us have doubted our paths in life. Am I spending my time on Earth in the best possible way? Why haven’t I achieved more? These are the kinds of questions that can keep us awake at night.

In these blinks, you’ll discover the answers you’ve been looking for. Packed with spiritual wisdom, as well as practical advice, this is your beginner’s guide to nourishing your troubled soul. You’ll gain a unique and surprising perspective on the universe and your place in it, and learn how to go forward with a renewed sense of purpose.

In these blinks, you’ll learn

why willpower is overrated;
how you can change your reality; and
why self-love is part of faith.

Intention can be harnessed by human beings and other life forces.

How would you define intention? Conventional wisdom tells us that intention is a strong determination, or will, to achieve a particular result. But forget conventional wisdom – because intention is much more than that. And that’s what makes it so powerful.

In fact, intention doesn’t emanate from within you, and it is not under your control. Instead, intention is a powerful force within the universe. It’s a potent energy field that surrounds you and is inside you, and that can neither be created nor destroyed.

The key message here is: Intention can be harnessed by human beings and other life forces.

You need only to look at the story of your own creation to know that intention is a powerful force that dwells within you.

Consider the moment of your conception, when a sperm met an egg. Right from that moment, intention inhabited your embryo. Already you were predestined to have certain facial features and a certain body shape; perhaps you were intended to one day grow old and develop wrinkles. That is the unstoppable power of intention.

And, just like you, every other living being on Earth contains the power of intention – from the mighty lion to the humble acorn.

If you split open the acorn, you won’t be able to see an oak tree nestling inside it. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t there. That little acorn has every intention of growing into a big, tall tree.

Intention shapes us humans, too, and guides us toward our true potential – but only if we are willing to let it. Because humans have free will, we can choose whether or not to follow the path of intention in a way that the acorn can’t. All too often we choose not to, and we become confused about our true intention.

The problem lies in a uniquely human trait: the ego.

Your ego equips you with certain faulty beliefs. It makes you think that you are what you have achieved – that your achievements define you. Your ego convinces you that you are equal only to the sum of your possessions, or that you are only as good as other people think you are. When you listen to your ego, you stop listening to intention. Get rid of your ego, and let intention drive you toward your true purpose.

In this way, you, too, can be like the little acorn and confidently grow into the robust, unshakable being you were always meant to be.

To achieve something incredible, you must believe you can achieve it.

Perhaps the best example of harnessing the power of intention is an iron ship. In centuries past, ships were made of wood – never iron. The reason for this was that wood floated on water, whereas iron sank. But eventually, people realized that iron can float as long as it isn’t heavier than the mass of the water it displaces.

Why did it take people so long to realize that iron could float? The problem was that they had been focusing on what wasn’t possible, rather than what was.

Align your thoughts with the positive, life-affirming energy of God.

On your path to intention, you may well come up against some obstacles. A good analogy for overcoming these obstacles is a television game show called The Match Show, in which two teammates each give individual responses to a question. At the end, they are awarded points according to how many of their responses matched each other.

To harness intention, you need to respond to challenges in a way that matches the creative power of God. Once you start doing this, you cannot help but succeed in everything you intend to do. But when you think negatively, you work against God’s creative energy – and achieving your aims becomes more difficult.

You have just as much purpose as the God who made you.

For many of us, there’s one question that keeps us awake at night. That question is: What am I doing with my life? We wonder what our purpose is here – what we were put on this Earth to do. Finding an answer may not be easy, but the power of intention can shine a light on your confusion.

While you may struggle with feeling that you have no purpose in life, the wonderful truth is that you have always had a purpose, from before you were born – indeed, before the moment of your conception. Sound bizarre? Not when you consider that everything in the universe is a part of God, even the molecules and particles that were your building blocks before you were conceived.

Self-love is a crucial part of intention and spirituality.

How much do you love yourself? To harness the power of intention, you’ll need to regard yourself with total acceptance and appreciation. Remember, your aim is to work in loving harmony with God, not against Him. And the truth is that you can’t love God without loving yourself.

God’s field of intention is powered by love, beauty, and creative energy. To get in touch with this positive energy field, you need to send out positive energy vibrations yourself. But how can you put out positive, loving energy into the world – and receive this sort of energy in return – if you don’t love yourself?

Letting go of stress brings you closer to God.

A racing heart, butterflies in your stomach, or a powerful sense of dread – most of us have experienced stress and anxiety at some point in our lives. Living a stressful existence doesn’t seem to be something that any of us intends, and yet stress often comes knocking at our door. So how can we say goodbye to stress for good?

Although stress might feel like a natural reaction when bad things happen, there’s nothing natural about these unpleasant sensations. We humans are a part of God, and God is peace and serenity.

The universe will send great people to you – when you’re ready.

Do you always seem to pick the wrong person as a friend or partner? Do you find that those around you don’t love or support you in the way you know you deserve? If any of this sounds familiar, then things need to change. But it’s not the people in your life who need to change. It’s you.

All too often, when people let us down, we pin the blame on them. But if you want the right people to enter your life, then you need to do things differently.

❤️ für Blinkist️️️

Ines S.

Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

Ekaterina S.

Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

Nils S.

Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.

Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
