Taking Intentional Action
We can build a life that we love, even while feeling a bit overwhelmed. But first, we must choose to find purpose, passion, and gratitude in every day, even on days that feel hard.
We all have good intentions...
To eat healthier, exercise, read more, and scroll less. To have better relationships with our spouses, children, friends, and co workers. To live a life we are proud of and that we love to live.
Unfortunately, most of our daily actions feel urgent rather than intentional. We can’t “keep our head above water”, we struggle to “get ahead”, and we’re always “waiting for things to slow down”. That’s when our good intentions are overshadowed by excuses, and circumstances that are out of our control.
Fortunately, our busy lives are not mutually exclusive from living lives of purpose and living out our passion. That requires taking intentional action toward continuously getting to know ourselves better, having positive and productive internal dialogue, and taking control of the things that we can control.
