Intentions in Our Life

Psychic Marie Callas says in her latest writing to me. We need to stop ourselves excuses for not getting things done. How right.

How many of us just sit back and let things happen? How many of us believe that we cannot really make a difference? We can make a difference in our life and in the lives of others.

We get up during the week and rush around all day. We go to work, go home, grab something quick to eat, stay busy and stay tired. We are continuously doing something but are we doing something intentional?

It is easy to get caught up in our world and forget there are others out there who need help. We pass others on the street without even wondering about how they are.

We all have dreams and goals in our life. We hope to get these done. Sometimes we plan things out in our head and make a list of what to do. Planning is great; however, some get so bogged down in the planning that we don't get started. We can be intentional about reaching our goals.

What can you do this week to help others? What areas of your life do you need to work on? Your family? Your relationships? Your health? Financial issues? Community service? Write down one or two things you want to do to improve in these areas.

Decide, now, to be intentional. Write down one or two things that you can do to move forward this week. Be intentional regardless of how you feel. Make no excuses!

Learn from Failures!

There is a saying "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail". I am not sure who said this but i think it's meaningful.

Yeah, many aspiring guys fail because they have not prepared themselves extensively for the tasks. Me included. I remember vividly my college exam when i was so sure. In the end, it was a fiasco. Yes, everything needs planning. Marie Callas says that too.

Recall that there is not accidental failures. There are reasons for failing. As much as I detest failures, learning from failures could be the most important lesson in your life.

Life is hard enough without you brooding about your failures. People are failing every minute of the day. Yet, they pick up where they failed and start over again. It does not matter if you walk three steps forward but move two steps backwards; because you are still a step forward! Bravo!

Learn your lessons and know where you are heading!
