I am taking part in
Steve Pavlina’s
Million Dollar Experiment.
In an easy and relaxed manner, in a healthy and
positive way, in its own perfect time, for the highest good of all, I
intend $1,000,000 to come into my life and into the lives of everyone
who holds this intention.
This is based on Steve’s theory of
Intention-Manifestation.
This states that the act of stating your intention to do
something will cause it to happen. Steve is pretty convinced that
this works for him. You could make an argument for this working
on the basis of you being more aware of potential opportunities but
Steve thinks that there is a higher consciousness at work providing the
resources to allow him to get what he is intending to get.
Instinctively, this sounds like nonsense to me. I am a naturally
sceptical person and woolly, improvable concepts like a “higher
consciousness” would normally turn me off. However, recently, I
have been thinking about new concepts in a different way. I have
been wondering if there is another way of evaluating new ideas.
Rather than being completely sceptical about them, might it be
beneficial to, somehow, try believing it and see what the results
are? Using anecdotal evidence in this way is something I am
normally wary of. There is bound to be an element of a
self-fulfilling prophecy about this. Is there a way, then, for me
to take this into account, or even just ignore it, and still get some
sort of benefit from a new idea? Maybe, it does not actually
matter how some things work. It is even possible that analysing
the process too closely could cause a negative effect.
Anyway, I am going with it. I am trying not to dismiss any
possible benefits as coincidence and to simply concentrate on the
positives. If it works, great; if not, I will have learned
something, at least about myself.
So far, then, I have started this new blog. I am making a
determined effort to post to it on a regular basis. At the
moment, I still don’t have an obvious focus for the blog to keep people
interested but I am just really looking at finding and developing my
voice and the writing habit. I have also added Google AdSense to
this blog and my old blog and have so far earned the princely sum of
$12.30. I’m well on my way to that million.
