GOOD INTENTIONS VS. INTENTIONAL LIVING

KEY DIFFERENCE

  • Deciding to act!

FOCUS ON ENERGY INSTEAD OF TIME

  • There are many abilities and talents you can increase and expand
  • You can’t expand time!  It is what it is.
  • Focus on what you need to do to MAXIMIZE every moment of the scarce time you have.

BE INTENTIONAL ABOUT YOU

START WITH THESE THREE PILLARS OF PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

  1. Think positively
  2. Take responsibility
  3. Don’t blame others

HOW TO MAXIMIZE ENERGY

WHEN AM I FULLY CHARGED?

  • When your mind is sharp
  • When your body is strong
  • When you have high levels of engagement and well-being

HOW DO YOU GET THERE?

LIVE IN YOUR GIFT ZONE

For those of yoy who know me, you know I am all about relationships–logic is secondary.  With that, I am fully charged when I:

  • Lead, create, communicate
  • Those are my gifts.  I was created to do those things!

ASK YOURSELF

What was I created for?  How can I best use my gifts and what am I good at?

  • What activities make you feel that way?

INVEST IN FAMILY AND FRIENDS

  • It is more blessed to give than to receive
  • When you focus on others rather than on yourself it just does something doesn’t it?
  • You feel satisfied, joyful, wishing you could do more, and eager for the next interaction.

ASK YOURSELF

Who can I call today that hasn’t heard from me in a while?  Simply put:  FIND SOMEBODY TO SERVE!

  • What kind of interactions fill you with energy?

ADD VALUE TO OTHERS

  • In order to really make a lasting and significant impact in this world you need to LOVE PEOPLE
  • Every day look for ways to add value to those around you.

ASK YOURSELF

Who can I call today that hasn’t heard from me in a while?  Simply put:  FIND SOMEBODY TO SERVE!

  • What activities done for others strengthen your sense of purpose?

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF PHYSICALLY

  • Taking time for rest and to be physically active is not selfish.  In fact, it’s the opposite.
  • You were put on this earth to use your gifts and make a difference.
  • Therefore, you need to be around for a long time!
  • Being unhealthy, not eating right, etc. can cause depression, lethargy, brain fog, chronic sickness, and a long list of other issues.
  • BOTTOM LINE:  The world needs what you have!  Make sure you are around for it.
  • WHAT CAN YOU DO FOR YOUR PHYSICAL HEALTH?

PERFECTION IS THE ENEMY OF PROGRESS

  • I’m a perfectionist and I will start when it’s perfect.  YOU WILL NEVER GET STARTED!
  • Nobody is perfect.  Nothing is perfect.  Perfection doesn’t exist.
  • GETMO!  GOOD ENOUGH TO MOVE ON
  • DONE is almost always better than perfection
  • Actually, DONE is almost always better than even good!
  • WHAT HAVEN’T YOU STARTED BECAUSE YOU ARE WAITING FOR THE PERFECT TIME?

BE A CATALYST FOR GROWTH

  • There is no passion to be found in playing small–in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living”. -Nelson Mandela

LIVE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN YOUR COMFORT ZONE AND YOUR FULL POTENTIAL

LIVE WITH INTENTIONALITY

OBSERVE HOW YOUR LIFE AND THE WIRLD AROUND YOU CHANGED.  IT WILL!!!!

  • What bold endeavor can you start that will energize you?
