Be Intentional

I was driving home with my family a couple of weeks ago when my husband and I began a conversation about the approach that we were taking when it came to raising our children. In the end we decided that above all we wanted to be intentional about the decisions that we were making regarding our children. My response to him was, "they are our kids, why wouldn't we be intentional about the way we raise them?"

When you are thinking about making a life change it is important to remember that intentionality is one of the key elements of LifeWalking. Just as I am intentional about my kids, you need to be intentional about your life. You only have one life and you only get one pass at it, why wouldn't you want to be intentional about the way that you are living your life?

There are many ways to be intentional. The first step is to be aware. You can be aware of what you are doing, why you are doing it, and what else you could be doing to improve any aspect of your life: parenting, work, relationships, spirituality, and everything in between. Just begin to be aware of the things that you are doing in your life and take note of the things that just aren't working for you. Once you recognize those areas that need a little tweaking, pick someone and start LifeWalking. You don't have to have all the answers today, just start doing things differently, enact some type of change and see how that works for you. If it works, great keep doing it and if it doesn't, you can try again until something pans out.

It really is about purposing to do something different with your life. You can have the kind of life that you really want, you just have to go out there and make it happen.

It is your one and only life so don't waste it...BE INTENTIONAL!
