Intentional living is the art of making our own choices before others' choices make us. - Richie Norton
Success is a choice; you choose it and work it out! Excellence
is deliberate and so it is intentionally pursued. No successful person ever remained
idle for success to knock his/her door for him/her. ― Israelmore Ayivor, Dream
Big!: See Your Bigger Picture!
Two months into 2021…wow! It has gone so fast and the author has lived intentionally
more in 2021 than ever in her life. As
the author has reflected on the last two months, she realized her previous
words of the year have never impacted her as much as “intentional” has in
2021.
Throughout the past two months, the author has
learned many things and has changed her daily routine, which is all part of
continuing on the path to grow and being intentional on the bridge to
accomplishing her dreams and goals. In
developing her goals, the author stated that she wanted to learn about leadership
to develop for her current career position and prepare for the future. This is a great goal and the author thought
this would mean reading leadership books to learn. However, she had a revelation about a month
ago. She can read all of the leadership
books in the world, but until she implements what she reads it is not
beneficial.
Additionally, the author realized there are so
many leadership books available and she is often enthralled by the latest “hot
author”. However, is that the best
author to learn from? Lastly, the author
discerned that she was reading to increase the pages completed on her goal
tracking spreadsheet, but not remembering what she consumed.
For the author, she had to step back and
contemplate how to be intentional in her learning.
What did the author do? She changed her learning plan and became
intentional in her learning. How? Read next week’s blog post to find out!
ACTION: How has
2021 started for you? What do you need
to be intentional about and change to help you accomplish your dreams and
goals?
