Purposeful intention

Are there things you do every day out of habit that don’t accomplish anything? Let them go.

Are there choices you make again and again that you always come to regret? Allow yourself to choose differently.

Life is difficult enough without you needlessly adding to the difficulty. You’re in control of your own thoughts, decisions, and actions, so make smart use of that control.

In every situation, ask yourself this question. What, right now, would bring the most enduring value to you, to those you care about, to life?

Answer honestly, thoughtfully, and follow up your answer with action. Inject purposeful intention into your experience at every turn.

Escape the regrets and the long stretches of habitual ineffectiveness. Live with heightened awareness of all the good you can do, and you’re sure to make much of it happen.
