The Power of Intention by Dr Wayne W Dyer
The Power of Intention - Dr Wayne W Dyer
His current message about tapping into the power of intention may sound like good old positive thinking: just stay focused on what you want, rather than focusing on the lack of having what you want.
Lessons from the book
#1 Intention, he says, is the field of energy that connects us all together, this is the core of the concepts built on by Dyer, so one worth looking at in more detail. What you call the source of this energy is left to the readers own beliefs, but the important lesson is that it is there, and is always available to all of us if we learn to connect to it.
#2 Those who can consciously tap into this power are referred to as ‘connectors’, and these people are those who have made themselves available for success. With this connection comes certainty that your deeds will succeed always. Connectors do not hope for success, they are certain of that whatever the task. This is the benefit of understanding the power of intention and the key to life success is to become a ‘connector.’
#3 There are seven faces of intention that form the key to unlocking the power of intention within you.
CREATIVITY
You need to recognize and embrace the creativity within you, your ideas are the foundation of your success, do not dismiss them.
KINDNESS
Dyer refers to kindness, some may call it karma, but it is the concept that you will be rewarded for good intentions.
LOVE
Love means a lack of judgment, a lack of anger or resentment. It means recognizing God in others.
BEAUTY
Beauty must be appreciated in everything.
EXPANSION
Expansion refers to yourself, do not set limits and always seek to expand your own understanding.
UNLIMITED ABUNDANCE
Unlimited Abundance means facing your fears, and conquer your own limitations.
RECEPTIVITY
Receptivity is to be open, without judgment, remaining aware of possibilities where others do not, and most importantly, simply having faith in the power of intention and allowing it to work.
#4 When you do something kind for another person, Serotonin is released inside their brains, and yours does to in return. Serotonin is a hormone that brings on good feelings, and thus helping people makes you, and the recipient, happy.
#5 Make every encounter you have with another opportunity to see thee beauty in them and the world around you.
This book might help readers land a better job, but it's more relevant for those who are ready to detach from an ego-driven life filled with quick fixes of happiness and step into a more authentic, joyful, and spiritually fulfilling life.
His core teachings speak to tapping into a universal source of energy that can also be called the "power of intention." He calls people who are consciously co-creating with this energy source "connectors" and describes them as "individuals who have made themselves available for success...They don't say With my luck things won't work out. Instead, you're more likely to hear something like, I intend to create this and I know it will work out."
Connectors are also committed to Dyer's "seven faces of intention"--creativity, kindness, love, beauty, expansion, abundance and receptivity, which he speaks to throughout the book. Each chapter concludes with five suggestions for becoming stronger connectors, such as how to monitor one's inner speech or shift out of low-energy beliefs.

The first stepping stone to success is a strong and powerful Intent. Spiritual practictioners beleive that success in any field is achieved through Intent followed by Efforts. Then it yet doesn't results into success unless we beget His Grace. Here the Grace comes when we stay humble surrendering our Efforts as His Efforts.
