Operating with intent

“What’s your intent for the day?”

It’s a non-trivial question. In our rush to start and accomplish all the million tasks we have to do, we forget to ask: “Where are we going”? And “Why are we headed there? What’s the overarching purpose?”

Most of the time, we don’t think about moving with intent. We don’t decide how we want the day to be. So the day just unfolds as it does. In some circumstances, this is ideal. Like when you’re on vacation, for example. But maybe during your “regular day”, not so much.

Regardless of the kind of day that occurs, you must have an intent. A reason. A purpose. It may not work the way you hoped (most times it won’t), but you have to set the intention.

Because otherwise, what’s the point of getting up in the morning? Just to earn more money? Just to feed the kids?

You’re so much more than that. And deep down in your heart, you know it too.

So, what’s your intent?
