Honestly this world is breaking my heart.
I don’t understand why we have become a nation who views violence as a problem solver as opposed to peace and love. Why is that what this world has become?
To think that your loved ones could be living and breathing one second and gone the next is unthinkable. & yet it’s happening too often. After the passing of Nipsey Hussle; a change maker in the Hip Hop Community the realization that violence against our own and others continues to rise, is a level of reality that is beginning to truly set in.
This is why living your life with intent is so important.
Now y’all. Today’s post isn’t mean to be morbid, but instead it is meant to open our minds to the notion that to live with intent is truly the best way to live.
After all, when you live your life with intent you spend time pursuing the things that will lead you to a life of fulfillment as opposed to wasting said life.
This includes but is not limited to:
INTENTIONALLY GOING AFTER YOUR GOALS
This life is so dang short. With that in mind, we should all make a purposeful effort to go after our goals on a daily basis. If you want to write a book, start making steps towards writing that book. If you want to lose weight, start now eating right and exercising. If you want to start a business, just start. Don’t wait till the perfect moment to begin pursuing your goals. “Time waits for no man” something my Dad tells me often and in this day and age those words couldn’t be truer. Don’t wait for the time to be right because honestly, it never will be. Just do it. You might be surprised at what could be waiting for you at the end of the road not perfectly timed.
TELLING THE ONES YOU LOVE HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO YOU
Y’all this one goes without saying. Tell the people you love, how much you love them while you still can. Life is becoming more and more fickle and to go or someone else to go without them knowing how you felt…. Heart wrenching. That’s why I’m someone who’s so big on feelings and words. I try to tell those I love often how much they mean to me and the impact they have on my life because you just never know. Some may feel uncomfortable by my display of affection, but it’s the only way I know how to love. Completely and all at once, if you’re someone I care about.
CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT OF POSITIVITY & GROWTH
The space you’re in and what surrounds you is truly important. The only way you can live a life with intent is to be in an environment that promotes it. Be intentional about the people you allow in your inner circle. If chosen wisely, they are the people that will uplift you and push you towards pursuing your various passions in a way that will encourage growth.
Of course there are several other ways you can go about living your life with intent, but these are the basics.
As I end this post, I pray that y’all spread love, find love, and live in love always.
