How to Live With Intent

So often we allow life to dictate to us how we live and what we do. We become a victim of our own circumstances with no purpose, design or intent. Living a life of intent means we take charge of our lives and direct ourselves to who and where we want to be. Intent won't just happen it takes effort and commitment. If you're tired of being a victim, it is time for you to begin living with intent. Read on to learn how.

Things You'll Need:

How to Live With Intent

1. Determine what you want from your life. Call it a dream, an aspiration, whatever. Visualize it. See it. Feel it. This is your intent. This is what drives you.

2. Set very clear goals for yourself. To achieve this you must dissect what your intent is. What will it take to move forward with your intent? Now, write down your goals.

3. Divide goals into categories to avoid getting overwhelmed. You have your intent but what do you need to do this year? This month? Today?

4. Bypass distractions and focus on your intent. We all have circumstances or people that can sidetrack us from our intent if we let them. Don't allow distractions to bog you down or manipulate all of your time. Deal with distractions quickly and efficiently.

5. Drop all the weights that you have been carrying and opt to live for today. You can't change the past so there is no reason to worry about it. Accept it and move on. Focus on how you want today to go and make it happen.

Tips & Warnings

• Living with intent allows us to be who we want to be.
