The power of intention

Several weeks ago Linda and I went out to dinner with fellow graduates Jonna and Tom Bluemlein.  Jonna always loves to hear and share success stories of how those who have attended our seminars lives have been improved when they use the tools and ideas we shared with them.

Jonna mentioned that the power of intention can make your dreams com true.  Jonna has

always had a crush on Jeff Bridges. 

Tom Bluemleinis a fine artist.  When Tom and Jonna were down in Santa Fe, New Mexico on a painting trip, they saw they needed extra’s  for the award winning movie Crazy Heart. 

Tom is also the one who created our Tree of Self Esteem poster after he attended our seminar visually depicting the damaging effects of having a mask of self image versus a true self esteem.  We will always be grateful to Tom for his creating this visual anchor.

Jonna as she was telling us her story mentioned that while the crew was on a break she had the courage to go up to Jeff and let him know she had a crush on him and had always wanted to meet him. 

Jonna said, she introduced Jeff to Tom and told him I used to joke with our kids that when Jeff came for me I was going with him!  She told him Tom and I had been together for 41 years and he said he had been with his wife for 38. Also this was probably the boldest thing I have everdone, not really my style to up to anyone let alone a ‘movie star’.

Jonna went further applying another skill she learned which was to ask for what she wanted.  She asked Jeff if she could get her picture taken together and as you can see she now has an anchor to remember forever.

Another skill Jonna mentioned is when opportunities arise seize them and she sure did.

So what is a success story you have of the power of intention?  How does Jonna’s story inspire you. Share with us a time when you had the courage to reach out for one of your dreams.
