So if you want it to experience freedom to do what ever you want in your life. And you’d also like to contribute to the world in a big way, and heck maybe you do want to buy your mom a big house and feel that kind of satisfaction. Then what you do is create a statement that expresses this for you.
It could sound something like: I intend to create a life where I can contribute to the world in a big way and always experience freedom and great satisfaction.
When you create a clear strategy free intention, it opens the door to a wide variety of options that you might not have been aware of otherwise.
When you have a lot options available to you, you are much less likely to become disappointed if one particular strategy doesn’t work out.
