Live Less Out Of Habit And More Out Of Intent

by Ben Francia |Last Updated: June 6, 2014

Having a sense of purpose makes everything worthwhile. The way we can dedicate one act to something bigger or even the way we sacrifice one thing in order to reach a certain level in our lives. It is all about how we would intend our life to be.

A purpose also helps us define which direction to take, which action to do, and which decision to prioritize. If we don’t have a purpose then everything we do would seem useless. We need to take the advice of the quote above, “Live less out of habit and more out of intent.”

When we have positive intention of each action we take, we don’t just set ourselves to succeed, but we also get a fulfilling feeling after. We generally feel good about a task when we set out good intentions from the beginning. A simple dedication or purpose already changes the course of our action.

Accomplishment starts with good intentions. We must create this mindset of having good intention each time we do something. It will take the burden off the work needed and will give us a more fulfilling feeling. Set out your intentions each day and see how it can change your life.

Maureen Wixon

This is a powerful quote as we often repeat patterns, and intent can be our guiding light. I would add that intentions alone will shine the light to our path and yet may not be enough to get us where were need to go, either in business or relationships. What if we added, 'Agency.' What keeps us from having it, how we can get it, gets us moving, whether it be choosing a fulfilling job, or a supportive partner in life.
