Stop living on auto-pilot and start living on purpose.
Intentional living is asking yourself why you do things—and then being happy with the answers.
Here are just a few questions to consider.
· Why are your friends your friends?
· Why did you buy [insert your latest purchase]?
· Why did you choose your career/job?
· Why are you with your partner?
· Why are you working late?
Now, how do your answers make you feel? Do they make sense? Or are they confusing or conflicting? Did you struggle to answer some of these questions?
Living with intention means closely examining these answers and if you’re not happy with what you see, re-examining your choices.
[ROJOSON’s comment: know why you are living on this earth and know why you are doing the things you are doing now.]
Intentional living doesn’t mean you have to have your whole life figured out…
But it DOES mean is having a purpose behind your actions.
Know that you can choose to be intentional about your direction without knowing your final destination.
[ROJOSON’s differing opinion: know your final destination when you make your intentional plan.]
Your core values are how you choose your direction.
You don’t need to have your whole life figured out, but you DO need to know what matters most to you.
Everyone’s core values are different. Mine include care for myself, care for my relationships, lifelong learning, and freedom (just to name a few).
When you know your core values, you can make sure the life you’re living on the outside matches what your heart is saying on the inside.
[ROJOSON’s comment: yes, your intentional living plan will be dependent on your core values.]
A huge part of intentional living is accepting that you have the power to make choices.
[ROJOSON’s comment: yes, make and document your intentional living plan and implement it - this is your responsibility.]
MAKE SMALL, REPEATED DECISIONS
Intentional living is about making the decision every day to live the life you want most.
It’s asking yourself, every day, “what can I do today that will point me in the direction of my dreams?”.
[ROJOSON’s Strategy – formulate whole life intentional plan then break it into yearly plan, monthly plans, weekly plans, daily plans – daily plans contributing to the achievement of weekly, monthly, yearly and whole life intentional plan.]
[ROJOSON’s comment: true, there is nothing absolute in the plan but at least there is a plan and there is continuous evaluation and review at planned intervals say, every 6 months, every year]
There is no finish line. Living with intention means being in constant communication with yourself, deciding what’s working (and what’s not) and making small adjustments every day.
It’s hard work but it’s the best kind—creating a life you truly love.
[ROJOSON’s opinion: as mentioned earlier, there is nothing absolute in the plan but at least there is a plan and there is continuous evaluation and review at planned intervals say, every 6 months, every year – thus, intentional living is a continuous process; THERE IS A FINISH LINE in the sense you try to live with intention up to end of your life – the finish line.]

Know that you can choose to be intentional about your direction without knowing your final destination.
It’s asking yourself, every day, “what can I do today that will point me in the direction of my dreams?”
Know there is no right or wrong answer.
Intentional living is a continuous process.
There is no finish line. Living with intention means being in constant communication with yourself, deciding what’s working (and what’s not) and making small adjustments every day.
ROJoson's Collation:
Lifestyle based on an individual or group's conscious attempts to live according to their values and beliefs.
Personal transformation to have a more clear cut direction in life, the direction is guided by core values and personal choices (no wrong answer), being implemented daily, with continuous processes (make adjustments every day).
Without final destination and without finish line.
ROJoson’s concept of Intentional Living:
With final destination, with a finish line, not just daily living with daily plans contributing to the whole lifetime plan.
