As you follow the path of intention, you might encounter challenges. Imagine a TV game show called The Match Show, where teammates earn points by giving responses that match each other. Overcoming obstacles on your intention path is like matching your responses with the creative power of God for success. Negative thoughts work against God’s creative energy, making your goals harder to achieve.

The key message is to align your thoughts with the positive energy of God. One big obstacle is focusing on what you think is missing in your life, like money. Thinking about something helps bring it into your reality. If you dwell on being poor, you invite more poverty. This idea is ancient; the Old Testament says, “as he thinketh, so is he.”

To match your thoughts with intentions, change your focus. Instead of thinking you’re poor, say, “I have an abundance in my life.”

Another obstacle is dwelling on the past, letting it shape your future. If you tell yourself a story like, “I struggle to make friends,” it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Successful people avoid rigid stories about themselves.

Rather than focusing on what has always been, think about what will be in the future. Say, “I will be surrounded by loving friends,” and watch your reality change.
