Living an Intentional Life


So the last year has been a little reckless for me. I've been a wee bit crazy. It's time for me to start living an intentional life again. What does that mean? That means making every day count. Learning what I love and doing it. If I could build my ideal life, what would that look like? If every move I made was building towards a goal, all of my energy placed to make my dreams a reality, what would my dreams look like?

I would have a job that I love, where I can give my time serving others and expanding my strengths. I would volunteer weekly, giving my time to causes I care about. I would travel three weeks a year, experiencing new places, meeting new people, learn history and culture. I would study more about the meaning of life through different religions, spiritual pursuits and artist expressions. I would actively explore nature, finding myself in my surroundings. I would be a competitive pole dancer in my spare time: a very fit and healthy, vegan pole dancer. I would invest myself in positive relationships, family, friends, love. 

This is a lot of things that I want my life to look like. This means that I cannot waste my energy on things that are not good for me. This phase has been essential in my development and life coping skills building. However, after my birthday party, I'm going to slow down a little and create the life that I want to pursue, since this may be the only life I live. Maybe, maybe not. But it's the one I'm living now.
