If there is ever a time when we need to be more intentional in the way we live our life—it is now and in the coming months—during the aftermath of COVID19 pandemic.
Being intentional is not about living a perfect life. No, not at all. It is about living a purposeful life. It simply means making a choice to live a life that is aligned to our purpose—which then enables us to find meaning, and most importantly direction—in the midst of the unexpected changes that have happened globally.
Two things happen the moment we make a deliberate decision to be more intentional in the way we live our life:
- You begin to direct your focus and energy on doing important things that add value to your life. Things that give you peace, joy, and happiness—and true meaning to your life. For example, learning a new skill so that you can make a career change, engaging in activities and projects that will improve your financial situation, improving your relationship with those who are close to you, leading a healthy and productive life, growing spiritually, etc. Outcome: Living a purposeful life.
- You also slowly and gradually begin to let go of things that do not add value to your life. Things that constantly drain your energy—making you feel exhausted, tired, angry, unproductive, and unhappy. Outcome: Living a purposeful life.
How then does someone become more intentional in life? By defining your purpose in life, and a good way to set the ball rolling is by responding to this question: What am I doing with my life and why am I doing it?
Once you define your purpose in life, you will then be able to set goals—that are aligned to your defined purpose—making you more intentional in the way you live your life.
Being intentional in life is an essential skill to have, because it forms the basis for making life better, and plays a big role in building momentum in the journey to greatness.
Much love and all the best!
