Intentional Living ... easier said than done?

reigniting your passion Jul 25, 2019

Living with intention .. what does that mean exactly and why do it? 

When I headed to university all those years ago to study accounting I had a very clear sense of why I wanted to do so. It all goes back to wanting to be the person teaching and helping others, the person wearing those incredible red shoes ... you'll find more about this story in my Reigniting Your Purpose eBook (download it below).

Those RED SHOES ... it turns out are symbolic of my aspirations and values to be a strong, confident woman, an expert in her field, independent, with a passion for life and all it has to offer. Those red shoes were the epitome of where I saw myself going in the future. 

As my career unfolded I found myself climbing the corporate ladder and taking on more responsibility and starting to fulfil my dream of being the best that I could be.

In reality, the road we choose is never easy. Each decision has an impact on the way we live, how we function and what life looks like as a result. We view all this through the lens of what we imagined our life to be.

I have found my way in this world I am so grateful for the path that I have travelled because without all that experience I wouldn't be the person I am doing what I am doing. 

To me intentional living isn't necessarily about having a blueprint for our life all mapped out when you turn 16 and then follow to the letter, rather it is an intentional way of living through life's challenges as they happen, making the most of each situation and staying true to our values. 

It is about being the best you can be and living authentically, connecting with your nearest and dearest when you are with them, being focused and living in the moment no matter what you are doing. 

My journey has led me along an interesting path and realising that the way we walk and talk and tackle life's challenges is our choice ... we do so with intent whether we realise it or not.

If you haven't done so yet, head on over and download my Reigniting Your Purpose eBook, where I share a snippet of my story and how I found my formula for getting ahead which resulted in a total upgrade of my life.

Figuring out what the important stuff is and doing it ...
