Create Affirmations with Service in Mind rather than Result Driven

It's been almost one year since I wrote my last blog. I have been on whirl wind of exciting new adventure and changes in my life. I moved to a completely new city, began a new job and now embarking on some of my dreams. This past week I have been following Oprah's life classes and learning a lot about how to “achieve goals” by using the intentions “to service others” rather than focus on the end results of what we want. In other words, let go of expectations but embrace the moment of the process and serve your true purpose by giving to others. In Oprah's life Classes, Cheryl Richardsons, shares how she believes you will be more successful at achieving your goals if you practice affirmations with the intention and purpose to “serve” rather than be “result” driven. When you act to “serve your families and communities” you than set intentions for true purpose in your life. By practicing your affirmations in this way it takes the pressure off focusing on the “results”, and it allows you to be present in the moment. You feel a sense of satisfaction, peace and purpose. The positive energy is projected out to the universe. Richardson emphasize result driven goals can put negative pressures on us and we can come across distress and desperate. This is not the kind of energy we want project to the universe. Mother Teresa is an example of how one can achieve goals through positive intentions. Her true passion and purpose to serve the poor helped her to achieve her goals to raise funds and bring awareness about the conditions of the poor. Through her charities she was able to give hope to the poor by building many infrastructures such as homes, schools, businesses and farms. She made a difference in the lives of people, while at the same time achieving her goals at many levels; spiritually, physically, emotionally and mentally.
