What is YOUR intention for the coming CGW?

[ssandra]

As we all know, setting an intention before going to a workshop means you will get so much more out of it.

For those who are going, and willing to share; What is your intention for the upcoming CGW?



(I'm still thinking about mine... the first thing I come up with is actually what I think I *should* say, not where my heart truly jumps with joy...)

[JeremyNoelJohnson]

If I go, my intention is to align and better understand several things:

* How I can have a better relationship with my wife
* What my path in my career should be
* My desired financial circumstance
* Overcoming fears and doubts I have about religion

Just to name a few

[Angela]

Right now, my game is to play subjective reality with a bunch of like-minded playmates.

Between now and then, I will be addressing some stuff that will have me declaring a more specific game-within-the-game (before I actually get to Las Vegas. Chances are I'll be calling you to talk about that, if it's ok with you, Ssandra.)

Yes, whatever my "extra" motives are going to be (still thinking about them) one of the MAIN intentions for me is TO HAVE FUN!

I think it would be absolutely delightful if you were to choose to come to CGW, JeremyNoelJohnson. That would be great!

[Gene]

I am going to the CGW with the intention of being myself, connecting with people, and being open to lessons presented to me. OH, I intend to have fun!

[90802]

I'm still on the fence, with one leg completely over, and my ankle from the other leg is about to cross the threshold

Great question Sandra, and here's what I have off the top of my head:

1. Learn to be happy and excited about life no matter what life throws at me. In other words, I'm very unsatisfied with my life right now (no job, out of shape, etc), and I want to learn to be happy so I can keep on moving forward no matter what life throws at me. Hmmm, maybe I need to refine this...Learn to accept myself?
2. Eliminate my social phobias- I don't know if phobia is the right word. It really involves two things: Women, then building and maintaining relationships (I meet people I'd love to stay in touch with, but don't) Hmm, looks like I need to clarify this as well
3. Business/entrepreneurship clarity- I need to figure out how to properly position myself in this job market, and how to find a job I love, so I can have some stability while I figure out what kind of business to run.

Hmm, now I'm more confused than when I started typing this

[JeremyNoelJohnson]

(From Angela) I think it would be absolutely delightful if you were to choose to come to CGW, JeremyNoelJohnson. That would be great!

Angela, I think there are many interesting people who will be there from what I see here on these boards - you being one in particular. I feel like going makes a lot of sense with where I'm heading right now.

That is great to hear Jeremy. If I had not already gone to three myself I would go in a heartbeat. In some ways I mourn for the loss of the experience not going to this one because I feel like I have a connection with some of the people I have not met in person. It looks like you are making great connections in advance!

[Orionjoel]

I have I think three intentions when it comes to attending CGW.

1. To look at personal relationships in a more open frame of mind. This will include Romantic relationships, and I hope to develop some kind of more, i suppose abilities in creating and pursuing interpersonal relationships.

2. To also see a different perspective to live my work life from, I am expecting to gain some if not all the inspiration to move away from working a job to creating my own opportunities.

3. And of course have fun and be the person I really feel like I want to be.

I am hoping my believe is correct, however if not that is alright as well, even though I believe the content is there for everyone to see, everyone will see and gain from it the pieces they need in the persepective they need to gain from it.

End of the day if I can have some sort of positive frameset shift in my mind I will be happy with the experience.

Yesterday I found out what is my intention at last (was starting to be annoyed by the lack of clarity). The keyword is authenticity. The funny thing was that right after finding out I also found the courage to take the first step in that direction right away and "shared my shame". You can read it here:
Shine, dark side | María Machón- Personal Development
I think I said it already but the CGW has given me so much already and I haven't even been there yet! No matter how it turns out, it was already worth it. Thank you Steve!

[ssandra]

My intention is clarity on what I want to do with my life, and basic real life skills to get there (including some form of will power would be good )

[la9arza]

First and foremost my intention is connect and have fun with at least a few amazing people (of which there will be an abundance present).

Secondly I intend to find some guidance to help me narrow the life paths that are all competing for my favor right now.

And lastly, I plan to experience all six days of my stay sans plans, navigating on intuition alone.

Can't wait,
Lisa

[Angelique]

1. Absorbing the material well enough to apply it effectively to two specific areas: Financial and Health. (This will draw me closer to my desired traveling lifestyle.)

2. Move past my emotional barriers and make close, lasting friendships. (As opposed to keeping a 'safe' distance.)

3. Have an absolute, smurfin-awesomely-wonderfuluptious blast.

[Orionjoel]

I know i already replied above, but I think that I really need to reconsider this now, after the last 2 weeks, so i may reply again soon to this thread with something more solid and concrete.

[Tyler Fowler]

Such a good question, and a good chance for me to be a little brave by outing some of my more nervous, "Oh noes, people are gonna judge me" thoughts and wants.

First of all, and the most nerve wracking want I have to express is the intention to find a growth oriented woman to enter into a relationship with. Not a normal friendship, because I have such an easy time making friends that it has led to an overabundance in my life to the point where I literally am unable to sustain all the connections with actual interest, but a real romantic and sexual, relationship. This isn't to say that I'm not going to try and make friends at the CGW, because I would love to infuse my current social circle with even more supportive, intelligent people.

Secondly, I'm going to hold the intention of training my Power while at this workshop. It really is my weak point, being Powerful, and I would love for that to change, as I would like to move out of my parents' house as soon as possible after graduation.

Along with my second intention, I would also like to see if I could earn a little extra clarity about what I wish to do with my life and see about getting the confidence to quit my job at Burger King that is horribly out of sync with who I would like to be.

Thirdly, I would like to be able to see opportunities for what they really are and to create opportunities in my life that lead to financial abundance, rather than scarcity.

Good job Tyler for being honest. You just want to get laid Personal growth can take many forms.

Hehehe, alright, alright, you caught me Dan.

But really, it isn't so much getting laid that I'm after, although that would be a very nice bonus but that deep connection with another person. I've had it once before, and I've got little tastes of it among my closer friends, but not to the extent that I'd really like.

[Cielemel]

I've been thinking about what to say in this thread for over a month now. Thank you for asking the question!

When I decided to attend CGW, I wasn't thinking about my job, or work, or financial abundance, or health and diet, or even relationships, though there's plenty to think about in that regard while I'm at CGW. But I see CGW as something more vital and important to my development as a conscious connected being.

I have survived many difficult life experiences, and when people hear my stories they inevitably say they find me inspiring (this was shocking to me the first twenty or thirty times I heard it, but now I can hear people say I'm inspirational without blushing too deeply at what I think is the greatest compliment anyone could ever give me), and people tell me that I should write a book and share that inspiration. I love to write and I don't think academic publications count (I have plenty of that under my belt), so writing a book would be enjoyable. But it would take a long time to get it published and distributed and promoted in order to start having any kind of positive impact or be any kind of inspiration to anyone. I could definitely see the story being made into a movie though, even more than a book. But I'm starting to feel a sense of urgency, like I am supposed to start making a real contribution in the world, like, yesterday. Given the many things I've survived that should have or easily could have killed me in the past 30-odd years, I am completely convinced that I exist for a reason, but I don't know what the reason is. I've felt that way for years, and I want to use CGW to make a focused attempt to comprehend and clarify the value and meaning of my life and how I can best be a source of positive energy and light for as many people as possible, to have a positive impact on the world, not just a few people in my immediate proximity.

I did Steve's "true purpose in life" exercise last weekend, and here's what I ended up with: "To be a free and independent spirit sharing positive energy and kindness, inspiring others to grow in courage, love, and inner peace, living life as a journey where the sky's the limit."

My intention for CGW is to further refine and clarify this purpose if possible, to create a strong starting point for the pursuit of my true life purpose, and, if the stars align, to actually begin the journey.

[Dan Carter]

Do they prefer to connect by drinking and getting high? My little brother is a year out of high school and that's about all his friends do. With my help he'll move on soon though.

[DANDUNGAN]

I've been seeing a personal development coach for a couple months. She has helped me fire my parents and retrieved the battered part of me from a mud puddle.

As she introduced me to the part of myself I've been hiding, I began to feel more authentic and more self-aware.

My Intention for attending is to begin learning how to give workshops.

Well, then my next Intention would be to figure out what to offer at the workshop.

One last note, I surprisingly have quite a bit of fear about posting.

Oh yeah, my third Intention is to face my fears.

I'd say you are well on your way with your intentions!

Looking forward to meeting you! Will you be at the pre-workshop dinner in Caesars Palace food court on Thursday evening (around 18.30)?
Edit: Just saw your response to the other thread... Looking forward to meeting you although I'll be long asleep by midnight!

[Burris5000]

As some of you know, this will be my second CGW.

Since CGW 4, I am more self-aware. One of the things that I have noticed that has been blocking me from further growth, like many others, is fear. Specifically, fear of authority. I have been able to communicate more openly with the authority figures in my life, but I still have a lot of work to do in this area. In order for me to make some major changes, I must be able to deal better with this fear. I am contemplating some major changes in my life, and I need to build up my courage for it. These changes will get me to planet B. However, I do not believe that planet B is my final destination. To me, planet B is more of a stopover and staging area for further growth, to wherever planet C is and beyond...

I have a good idea of what planet B will look like, now I just need to get there first.

I look forward to meeting all of you tonight.

[roxyruby]

Ooh I am so excited for everyone going! My intention is for everyone to be hap-hap-happy! And have funnn!
