Intentional Living – Moments that Can Change our Lives

Intentional living is the fine art of creating your reality. Whatever your intention, it sets the stage for what follows, setting everything in motion. So what are your intentions? What are you aiming for? Have you written out your goals? How do you plan to achieve them? Is there a wish list? Do you have dreams? What are they? Do you know? 

Perhaps you need to take a moment to think about this. As a creative soul, you can picture where you want life to take you. You can focus on what it will take to get there, to make it happen.

However, this isn’t always easy. Life happens, things change and stuff impedes our most cherished dreams. It’s when we focus on the wrong things that the right things fall to the wayside, paving a way to disappointment, which creates unwanted setback. 

Dashed hopes can reverberate throughout a lifetime, casting unwanted shadows where we have a tendency to get lost. This can affect our walk in life. But if we believe we can create a better reality, we may just rid ourselves of all those things not worthy of time, energy, and attention. 

When you set the intention to just let stuff go, the burdens, the annoyances, the disappointments, all those things that really bother you, you’re intentionally creating magical moments. 

INTENTIONAL REFLECTION USHERS IN HARMONY

Whenever you are open to harmonize your life, you can release the disharmony that sits deep within. From there, you can choose to settle in a place of calm. With calm understanding, acceptance, and awareness, you already know you have what it takes to move your life from where you don’t want it to where you do. And as you open your heart, you get a glimpse into a better life because you’re standing with hope, in love with peace. Clarity now moves into this space. And when you are clear, you set better intentions.

We get so caught up in all the wrong things, focused on all the challenges, that we miss out on all the finer qualities of life. Sometimes these great things are the little things, those pleasurable moments that are so fleeting we sometimes miss them.

We create our reality, and any situation we may find ourselves in is what we have contrived. Where we are is where we choose to be. Who we keep company with is who we allow in our space. Who we are, what we do, and how we view life depends on us.

We may even have a teensy glimpse of what genuine happiness looks like, feels like, but can only visualize this happy place in some dreamy distance, out of reach. However, we have the power to free ourselves from whatever is preventing us from experiencing happiness now. The joy of living is a choice. If you are unhappy within any space, within a relationship, a workplace, a social circle, it’ll be up to you to change something whether externally or internally.

INTENTIONAL LIVING THROUGH CREATIVITY

Given time, it may finally register, it was us all along. The unhappiness we experience with our lives is because we’re stuck believing the wrong things. We focus on everything that’s negative. This is how we end up on the wrong track. All the while, placing blame on everyone except ourselves. When you take responsibility for you, for your decisions, for your actions, for your life, you’re in tune with your reality. The reality you create through the intentions you creatively set.

When we focus on nothing but loss, pain follows, ultimately becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy. And what happens is fear sets in. We stop doing what’s right, playing on the wrong side of right leads to more of what we don’t want showing up. Ask yourself if there’s a situation infiltrating your life by disturbing your peace. Any time we feel someone or something setting us off track, we have to ask why and follow it up with changing what we can.

Sometimes we get stuck where things aren’t as clear as we would like them to be. There are even times when something sounds right but is oh so wrong for us, but for whatever reason, we convince ourselves that we’re okay when we’re not. To be okay with what isn’t okay… is NOT OKAY.

INTENTIONAL DECISIONS

There comes a specific moment, usually during a time of reflection when you realize there’s something amiss only to discover what’s missing… is you. Are you missing from the equation, missing the mark, missing a point? The point being, we have this one opportunity in life to make it the way we want it. We can turn our life around. Just ask anyone who stood at the end of the line, the ones who fell to the wayside, those who took the wrong road and ended up nowhere. These are the people who rose above the difficulty, beyond the challenge. They now hold masterclasses, assisting others. At the end of the day, it’s all up to us. We can steer our lives toward our dreams or we can simply settle.

Everyone has major life choices. Regardless of where we are, who we are, how we feel about what we went through, we are still in control of where life takes us. We choose. Our choices matter. The key is to focus your time and energy on the things that matter most, on the things that bring you peace, those things that make you happy. 

INTENTIONAL LIVING

Life is short. You may be young, believing you have a ton of time. But that’s not true at all, every day that goes by becomes one day less on the life-o-meter. Yup, twenty years comes and goes, just like that. Make the wrong choices, choose the wrong things, end up in wrong places with wrong people only to catch yourself years later, living with nothing but regret. I want better for you. And you should want better, too.

Believe in your dreams, intentionally create your life, and along the way you will gain the clarity you need, aware of every meaningful moment. These are the moments that can change your life.
