Success
is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of
consistently applying basic fundamentals. - Jim Rohn
Intentional
living is the art of making our own choices before others' choices make us. - Richie
Norton
On
March 30, 2020, the Virginia Governor declared a “Stay at Home” order declaring
everyone needed to remain in their homes except for essential work, health or
shopping needs until June 10, 2020. When
the author heard this, she called Mama Flow and strongly stated her frustration
with this order. To the author, she
immediately thought about the negative aspects of how she would not be able to
move towards “some” of her dreams and not be able to socialize with her
friends. After voicing her opinion, she
went to bed and woke up the next morning with a different mindset. She decided that she would use the 70+ days
starting on March 31, 2020 to prepare for when the “Stay at Home” order was
lifted. She knew that she would want to
socialize with friends when this was over.
Thinking about what prohibited her from socializing, she started working
on accomplishing tasks such as reading books, going through mail, cleaning her
apartment, getting caught up at work, etc.
That
morning working out and listening to a podcast, the author heard the speaker
state the word “intentional” relating to goal achievement. The word intentional has stayed on the
author’s mind for almost a week now. According
to Oxford Dictionaries, intentional means “done on purpose; deliberate”.
Last
week, the author mentioned that she had not been able to figure out how to
change the mindset of working more and “making up time” for taking breaks while
teleworking. The answer is the word “intentional”. Next week, the author will explain the simple
steps she created for herself to remain intentional during this time and remove
the “making up time” mindset.
Intentional
living means making choices in your life based on your greatest values, not the
habits of others. - Brian Buffini
