00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:05,040
Hi, I'm Diane Groussel, also 
known as Silver Dispedience, and

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,840
I am going to read an excerpt 
from my book The Silver 

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,040
Dispedience Playbook. 
I'm just going to tell you up 

4
00:00:10,040 --> 00:00:12,720
front, this is take #5. 
I don't know what's going on 

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,120
with me today. 
The first ones I just couldn't 

6
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,160
get through the words and then 
the last one I realized my 

7
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,720
glasses. 
I must have like single handedly

8
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:22,600
ripped them off so many times 
this way. 

9
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:24,600
That is, I was watching the 
playback. 

10
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,440
I noticed my glasses are kind of
like shaped like this on my face

11
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,040
the whole time. 
So I said you know what? 

12
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:30,320
I'm going to give it one more 
try. 

13
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,640
Here goes. 
This is take #5 of a reading 

14
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:40,320
from my book on intention, and I
do have the intention to get 

15
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:46,520
this right this time. 
Intention is a mental state that

16
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,400
represents A commitment to 
carrying out an action or 

17
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:55,360
actions in the future. 
To act with intention requires 

18
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,640
considerable forethought along 
with planning. 

19
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,200
Clarity is essential when 
setting our intentions as a 

20
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,600
willingness to clearly state our
intention to ourselves, whatever

21
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,440
it is that we want. 
Writing it down can be even 

22
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,560
better. 
Stating the goal, laying out the

23
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:21,560
plan, and following through with
action are the only ways I know 

24
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:26,600
that intentions can transform 
from thoughts into realities. 

25
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,600
When we're defining our 
intentions, we need to be as 

26
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:39,160
clear and specific as possible. 
If we want a new job or career, 

27
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,680
for example, we need to spell 
out exactly what we want to be 

28
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:49,560
doing in a realistic way, and 
note if there are requirements 

29
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:54,640
whose fulfilment will require 
educating ourselves before we're

30
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:59,360
suitable for that job. 
If our intention is to get into 

31
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,320
a new personal relationship, 
whether a friendship or a more 

32
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,640
significant other, we need to 
thought thoughtfully envision 

33
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:14,120
our desired partner or friend. 
What qualities are we seeking? 

34
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,880
The more specific we can be, the
more likely the relationship 

35
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:24,560
will materialize. 
Simultaneously, we need to ask 

36
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:29,800
ourselves what might we need to 
do to make the acquaintance 

37
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,520
cross our paths? 
Do we have to put ourselves out 

38
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,120
there, Be in different places, 
Get out in places where that 

39
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:42,280
person might be? 
If our intention is to become 

40
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,560
healthier, we need to set a 
clear path as to how we're going

41
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,960
to eat more healthy foods and 
get moving to be more physical. 

42
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:57,520
All that while avoiding those 
foods and activities that defy 

43
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,920
or are counter to our 
intentions. 

44
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,080
Boldly declaring our intentions.
Well, that's just the first 

45
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,280
step. 
Next come the planning, followed

46
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,440
by action. 
I'm Diane Grisel. 

47
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:18,080
I made it through Take #5 
because I had the intention to 

48
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,720
get this done. 
Thanks for tuning in.
