Intending is the very basis of your creating..

When you choose not to intend, you are simply choosing to have someone else do the creating for you.  This is OK as long as you realize that you have given up your power.  When you make choices and intend for those choices to be part of your reality, you are manifesting for yourself.  You are in charge.  This is so no matter where you are, or who you are with.  When you make the decision to intend for yourself, you experience what you want.

Intend and keep your focus largely on what you want to see in your reality..

[If you find it challenging to phrase intentions, it's sometimes helpful to state them as if they're already here.  An example might go like this:  I'm so happy and grateful that my health is dramatically improving, every day!!!  Mark]
