People often ask me how they can become a (fill in blank—teacher, healer, coach, artist, etc.), something they’ve perhaps always desired.
Whatever it is you desire to do, begin doing it now. Don’t keep thinking about HOW to make it happen logically. Your focused energy will propel it.
In fact, LOGIC is DEATH to the miracle maker in you! So it’s best to stop trying to make it happen through logic.
So, for example, if you want to teach,
- Look into every way in which you can teach now officially or unofficially (lend a hand, explain how someone can improve a process, etc.)
- Then RESEARCH all the options that are out there for teaching as a career—how to become a certified teacher (e.g., Teacher Switcher program at ODU), but also ways to volunteer your time to teach and help.
- What I have found is that if you HOLD YOUR INTENTION CLEARLY and remain true to your desire, the Universe will assist you in manifesting your intent.
- Create a focused mission statement and repeat it. For 10 years, I repeated the mantra: “I desire to teach and help others internationally.”
- I never once thought that this would be NOT be possible, although I didn’t understand HOW it could happen. I didn’t get caught up in the logic of it–the “how’s.”
- About seven years ago, I was asked out-of-the-blue to assist a person in going to Japan and giving a lecture on healing (my work in U.S.). I paid money to go to Japan, lost income while there the first time, but KNEW I needed to do this because it FELT right.
- I knew in my heart this was an opportunity that matched my intention, so I TRUSTED.
- I will be going to Japan again in November to teach, counsel, and perform healing sessions—over 13 visits later!
- The bottom line is that you have to BELIEVE.
- Higher Powers will assist you if you hold a noble intention. If you make that intention involve HELPING OTHERS, the Universe will become your loving partner. Of that I am clear.” –Cynthia Bischoff

“Does the thing we desire contribute to our good and the good of the world?” Definitely an important consideration!
Thanks again!
A wonderful statement, Cynthia. Thank you for that.
Lisa, good question and many people probably think the same thoughts. Of course, we learn as we go through life so part of our “lessons” include setting intentions, changing intentions, and so on. And sometimes we do long for the “wrong” thing. The more your vision becomes clear and your goal aligned with your purpose or conscious intent, you will see things shift and become more congruent. For example, there have been things I “thought” I wanted that I thank God I did not receive! (We all can say this, I’m sure.) But wisdom is in knowing at some point the difference between those things and what really matters or creates love. So as we live we grow and this becomes clearer. Does the thing we desire contribute to our good and the good of the world? This might be a helpful question, too. Thanks for your comment!
This is great advice. However, sometimes we hold an intention and work toward a goal for years only to eventually get what we were seeking but have it turn out to be a disaster. How should we interpret this? Does it mean: 1) we were seeking the wrong thing for us? 2) we made some mistake along the way? 3) the “disaster” is simply a “test” and we should keep trying? Or is there really any way to know?
Thanks for your assistance!
