DECLARATION

A declaration is a statement of intention, a vision or desire. It can be a story with a sense of direction or prediction that has a purpose. It can be a mission or a calling that is shared with others. This is what Stephen Covey refers to as “begin with the end in mind”.  Deep thought should be given before declaring an intention. To be authentic and sustainable, your intention must reflect who you are, what you care about and what you want to commit to achieving.

An ontological declaration can be seen as an act of speech with which a person brings to the outside world a vision of a new future that they want to make happen. This breaks the flow of normal existence by imaging a prefered future that they are committed to bringing about. It generates the ownership of a new mood and energy level that will bring forth new actions. It produces a new “life movie” that takes events in a new direction with a new script and a new way of being in the world. It can help to resolve or end things.
