Manifesting Mondays, Living With Intent what I learned from Mallika Chopkra, Eckhart Tolle, Rhonda Byrne, and myself, by Gina Meyers


 

I recently found this photo on my phone. Even though the picture is from another season, it reminds me there is beauty is all seasons.



And here's a picture from October 22, 2023.


Last week I listened to a talk hosted by Fresno State and Speech given by Author, Mallika Chopkra, daughter of Deepak Chopkra.


This is what I learned from  Mallika which she told us she wrote about in her book, Living With Intent: My Somewhat Messy Journey to Purpose, Peace, & Joy. She uses the  Intent Acronym.


I (Incubate)

N (Notice)

T (Trust)

E (Express)

N (Nurture)

T (Take Action)  


How often are you living with intent? Often, based upon life stressors we live by the seat of our pants, everyone becoming amateur firefighters, dealing with whatever emergency is critical to extinguish in the moment. Living with a life full of gratitude like Rhonda Byrne describes in her book, Magic helps to calm the nerves and build a plan for each day. By having an Attitude of Gratitude we can have the life of our dreams.

I just finished listening to the book, A New Earth: Awakening To Your Life's Purpose by Eckhart Tolle. Mallika recounted a story of arranging a meeting in San Francisco with Eckhart Tolle which was nine months in the making. She described not feeling great and needing to catch a plane from Southern California to Northern California for their very important meeting which she hoped to use some tidbits of wisdom from Mr. Tolle for her Power of Intent Book she was still in the process of writing. 


From the story she described, she was expecting life shattering information from the world-described spiritual guru, but what she got instead was a man who was "Living in the now." She described it being 12 noon and there were church bells chiming in the distance. In that very moment, Mr. Tolle asked Mallika, "do you hear that?" She stated she suddenly became calm and started living in the moment and enjoyed listening to the church bells.


There is a famous phrase and it goes something life this: 

"People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime." But you are going to BE with you for your lifetime, so no matter what season you are in, "you've got you kid." So here's looking at "YOU Kid."

In Acts 14:17, it says, "he has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy." The seasons were even brought up in Genesis, so we now there has been a design all along for seasons changing.

In Ecclesiastes 3:1: it says, "there is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens."


And for living in the now, Matthew 6:34 The Good News: Don't worry about the things that haven't happened yet. Live in the moment, and leave your worries for tomorrow.
