Intention & Purpose
In these busy times where we’re bombarded with too much
information and too many products to consume it can be really difficult to live
with intention and purpose. I think all
the distractions causes us to lose a deep connection to ourselves and without
that deep connection your life isn’t as fulfilling as it could be. How can we live life with intention and
purpose when we’re continuously being distracted by the latest info or gadget? It takes a bit of work but it’s totally worth
it if it means living a life you’re passionate about.
The Prep Work
Make a choice
Every day is a clean slate.
You get to make your own decisions and you get to choose what your
attitude is. You can let the little
annoyances get you down or you can decide to notice them but not react to them,
or even find the humorous side to them.
Nobody and no situation can make you
feel a certain way – you get to choose how you feel and how you react. Once you realize this and take ownership for
your decisions and attitude you’ll be well on your way to living your life with
intention.
Get to know yourself
You might think you already know yourself, but do you
really? Have you let yourself explore
your true passions? Do you even know
what they are or are you too busy letting yourself become distracted by all the
chaos around you? What areas do you
strive in? What areas are you weak
in? What really gets you excited? Take the time to really think about this and really get to know yourself.
The Practical Work
Stop comparing your life to someone else’s
Comparing your life to someone else’s just holds you back
and doesn’t allow you to focus on your own purpose. Everyone is going to live their life
differently so comparing your life to someone else’s is a huge waste of time
and energy. Live your life and don’t
worry about everyone else’s
Set goals
Decide what your true passion is and then write down your
goals. Write down your ultimate goal and
then break that down into smaller goals that will get you there. Create a roadmap of what you need to do to
succeed and celebrate each time you hit a goal.
Stay focused
This one can be tough.
There are SO many distractions that are just begging for your time and
attention. Don’t let the distractions
win! Focus on what you want and keep
moving towards it. Spend 10 minutes
every day reflecting on what you want and what the next step you need to take
is. When you learn how to block out the
distractions you’ll truly feel like you’re living your life with purpose and
intention.
What’s The Point Of All This?
Nobody wants to look back on their life and feel like
they’ve wasted it. If that’s how you’re
feeling now don’t worry because it’s never too late to start living with
intention and purpose. Commit to living
your best life and don’t let anything or anyone stand in your way.
