It is a proven fact that your success is directly linked to your focused determination.
What do I mean by that? Well, think of a time in your life when you really wanted to get something done.
Did it happen by you sitting around and putting your attention on a million other things? No.
It happened because you were focused and set all your attention on it until you got it done.
That is how our lives work.
I am sure you have heard the phrase, "keep your eyes on the prize".
Living with intention is doing exactly that, keeping your eyes on the prize.
I hear you saying, "easy for you to say".
That's right.
You can do it easily and effortlessly.
First, you must have clarity.
That means you have a clear picture of where you want to go or what you want to accomplish.
This is about identifying your dreams and goals.
The bottom line is, we all want to be successful.
Your job is to be clear on what path you would like travel in order to get to your desired outcome.
It is very important that you know your path so that if and when you take a wrong turn, you will recognize that you strayed and quickly and easily return to the right path.
Clarity is about knowing with every fiber of your being that this dream or goal is exactly what you want.
Second, know your life's purpose.
We are all on this planet for a reason, what is your purpose? You would be surprised (I was) to know that your goals and dreams are more than likely linked to your life's purpose.
Take a moment and think about that.
Interesting isn't it, the way things work.
You might say, "but I don't know what my purpose is".
That's okay.
Once you get clear on your dreams and goals, you will see the path to your purpose in life.
You will find that the events that have occurred in your life have been leading you on your purpose.
You just needed to bring it into your awareness fully.
Isn't it awesome to know that you are able to get out of your own way and let things flow.
The third piece is to be focused.
You must be focused in order to achieve your goals and dreams.
You might be saying, "it is hard to be focused in this hectic life.
There is always some crisis happening.
I hardly have time to get anything done".
All of that may appear to be true.
Let me tell you a well known secret, everything that happens in our lives is created by us, whether good or bad.
How? Our thoughts create actions.
Remember my message in this issue, believing is seeing?" That's right, what we focus on the most is what happens in our lives.
It is very important to be focused on the right thing.
Here is the key, if you have laser-sharp focus on your goals and dreams, nothing can detract your attention.
Things can and will happen.
However, you are able to deal with any situation with ease and grace because you are so focused.
The dictionary defines intention as: 1.
An act or instance of determining mentally upon some action or result.
2.
Purpose or attitude toward the effect of one's actions or conduct.
You live with intention by having clarity, knowing your purpose and being focused.
You can truly live a golden life by living with intention.
Each day you will wake up feeling great knowing that every thought and action that you perform is done purposefully.
You will learn how to take responsibility for your actions instead of being a victim of circumstances.
Anything less than living with intention is not living the life of your dreams, isn't it?
