Attuned intent is motivation without a ‘drag factor’. It’s streamlined—aerodynamic. It gives you access to incredible power and capacity for accomplishment of whatever needs to be accomplished. In order to accelerate into the unimaginable, we have to let go of the ballast—jettison the habits of view that create drag factors. The drag factor is the thing that slows you down. Mixed and conflicting motivations produce a drag factor and inhibit our development and growth as human beings. As long as there’s a drag factor, we experience frustration and the unsatisfactory outcome of our wishes or intentions, whatever they might be. Attuned intent is unmixed motivation, motivation without conflict—single-pointed motivation.
