Deliberate intention
Most of us live our lives on default. I know, I did it for 50 years. Of course, there were times when I strived for goals or things I thought I wanted, but often turned out to be things I didn’t really want or were definitely not right for me. I could not figure out where I was going wrong. To the point where I decided I was not going to have any kind of goals because it was too hard when I didn’t achieve them or I was almost always disappointed. I realized I was going about it all wrong.
We don’t get a manual in life to show how to live, what to go after and what to do. Sure we do have lots of references from books, other people, relatives, but not telling us the right way to do things. And this is a good thing. This means we get to decide what and how we want to do things, within reason of course, we still have to consider others living around us. The great thing is we get to decide.
All of us want different things, and they are not right or wrong. Our purpose here on earth is to experience things, to figure out who we are and how our life impacts others, how we impact ourselves. Yet lot’s of people just choose to go with the flow. They don’t want to be boxed in and told what to do. The problem with this kind of life is, all you will do is just flow. You will rarely achieve anything of value. In that flow you will also come up against life and obstacles. Just because you are in the flow does not mean that you are somehow exempt from troubles.
Deliberate intention
Living a life of deliberate intention has so much more going for it. Yes you also get to deal with all of life’s nasties, but you are equipped and you get to decide what those things mean. People who live their lives deliberately means they have chosen a path, they have decided what is important to them, they have decided to make their lives count, they have decided they want to experience all life has to offer. They are excited, confident, determined and curious.
They have times that they work really hard and times that they relax, and yes go with the flow. The difference is they now how to enjoy relaxing because they worked hard and smart.
They do come across obstacles on the way to their goals, but they know this is just life, the is the part where they have to learn something so that they can move to the other side and move forward. They don’t make it mean they are on the wrong path or that the Universe is out to get them. They get curious. They know that the road to their goal is not often the most straight forward one or the most travelled one, but they figure out a way. But achieve their goal, they will.

Hi, I’m Antoinette Porter, your hostess at Live Life Inspired where we will explore what is possible in your life. A life you can look back on and say, “Wow!! I did that!”
Our brains are funny organs. They are the most complex and simplistic organ. They can rule your life like a toddler running around with a sharp knife, if you let it or they can plan your life with absolute precision and deal with anything life throws at you. Rather amazing. Some people choose the toddler and others the forward planning part. Which are you choosing? It is just a choice. Studies have shown that people who have goals and are working towards something worthwhile are much happier than their free flowing counterparts. And we are all in the pursuit of happiness. We are all after a feeling.
Make a Plan
When you decide you want something and make a plan, you brain starts getting to work. You are focusing on getting to your something. When you are planning your life deliberately, you are going to get what you want a lot quicker, with less drama. You actually create a lot more freedom (to flow) for yourself and you enjoy it more, because the rest, you know, is being taken care of.
Of course, there are going to be times when you don’t feel like doing things. This is perfectly normal, nothing has gone wrong. You get to decide if it is worth pushing through and if your reason is big enough, it will be. You are in total control of your life and your brain, why not make them work for you?
Till next week.
