SET INTENTIONS

on a broad perspective..

what are your intentions in life regarding:

RELATIONSHIPS

MONEY

CAREER

HEALTH

freedom

AT THE END OF each year GOING INTO THE NEXT WE SET ‘GOALS’ AND EXPECTATIONS FOR PARTS OF OURSELVES THAT WE WANT TO ACHIEVE.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE OTHER PARTS OF US? do we let them go dormant?

THERE IS CERTAINLY MORE TO US THAT WE CAN LOOK TO ACHIEVE MORE THAN ONE OR TWO GOALS FOR OURSELVES IN A YEAR. WHO ARE WE TO LIMIT OURSELVES BY PROLONGING OUR EVOLUTION BY MEASUREMENT ON SUCH A SMALL SCALE?

LET’S BE HONEST..

WE HAVE ALL GOT A LOT OF WORK TO DO IN A RELATIVELY SHORT TIME TO ACHIEVE.

SO WHAT IF THE GOAL EVERY YEAR, EVERY DAY, CIRCLED AROUND A DESIRE TO BE A BETTER ‘YOU’ IN ANY AND ALL AREAS OF YOUR LIFE.

TAKE IT ONE DAY AT A TIME

ONE LESSON AT A TIME

EMBRACING CHALLENGES ALONG THE WAY

CONNECT AND ASK FOR HELP

WE LIVE TO CONNECT WITH PEOPLE, TO LEARN WHAT THEY KNOW AND DECIDE HOW WE MAY APPLY NEW INFORMATION INTO OUR OWN LIVES. THERE IS AN ABUNDANCE OF ADVICE AND DIRECTION IN THE WORLD THAT WE HAVE NOT YET DISCOVERED. TOOLS THAT may be CRITICAL TO OUR personal DEVELOPMENT.

SOMEONE IN YOUR CLOSE CIRCLE OF FRIENDS OR FAMILY MAY BE WELL-VERSED IN THIS PERTINENT INFORMATION.

ASK, BE CURIOUS, LIVE IN WONDER

OPEN UP YOUR HEART TO POSSIBILITIES

STIMULATE YOUR MIND

KEEP LEARNING

EDUCATION IN ‘ADULTING’ AND REAL WORLD DAY-TO-DAY LIVING HAS NOT BEEN A WIDELY ACTIVE SUBJECT IN OUR life CURRICULUM.

question: HOW CAN WE EXPECT TO ‘BE BETTER’ IF THERE IS NO STANDARD that has been presented TO REFERENCE A BETTER WAY OF LIVING?

ONCE WE BEGIN TO FACE TRUE ADVERSITY IN LIFE, WE START TO BECOME AWARE OF OUR LACKING, HOLDING HEAVY EXPECTATION AND RESPONSIBILITY OF ADULTHOOD TEACHINGS ON OUR PARENTS. WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO BE NAIVE IN THE IDEA THAT EVERYTHING WE HAVE BEEN TAUGHT IN OUR YOUNG ADULT LIVES WILL APPLY TO OUR MATURE ADULT LIVES. WHILE MANY PARENTS ARE CONSCIOUS OF THIS GAP AND GIVE THEIR CHILDREN THE ATTENTION TO MATTERS THEY ARE FAMILIAR WITH, WE WILL CONTINUE TO BE FACE WITH NEW DIFFICULTIES.

AND, WE as children ARE QUICK TO BLAME OUR PARENTS FOR THE WAY THEY RAISED US OR WHAT THEY FAILED TO MENTION.

I KNOW I HAVE BEEN GUILTY OF THIS!

WHO ARE WE TO BLAME OUR PARENTS OF ANYTHING? this is not to say parents should not be held responsible, we take our experiences to open up conversations.

WE MUST BE FORGIVING, BECAUSE IF/WHEN WE GET TO LIVE TO BE THEIR AGE WE, TOO, WILL STILL BE LEARNING AND FIGURING OUT THIS EXPERIENCE CALLED LIFE IN SOME WAY.

EVEN IF THEIR GUIDANCE IS NOT UP TO YOUR CURRENT EXPECTATIONS, JUST KNOW THEY DID THE BEST THEY KNEW HOW IN THOSE MOMENTS.

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR HOW YOU CONTINUE TO LIVE YOUR LIFE MOVING FORWARD

WE CANNOT GO BACK IN TIME, TOMORROW IS NEVER PROMISED

LET GO OF REASONS WHY YOU THINK YOU CANNOT get ahead

THE FACT THAT YOU HOLD ONTO REASONS IS THE REASON WHY YOU plateau

AS THE WORLD IS CHANGING EVERY moment of the DAY, WE EXPERIENCE NEW LIFE SITUATIONS REGULARLY. OVERALL, TEACHINGS ALLOW FOR US TO GENERALIZE information TOWARDS OUR CIRCUMSTANCES.

HOWEVER, WE NEED TO BE FLEXIBLE IN OUR AWARENESS WHEN WE NEED TO CONTINUE LEARNING WHO WE ARE AND WHO WE WANT TO BE.

COME TO AN ACCEPTANCE THAT WE WILL NOT ALWAYS HAVE THE ANSWERS

ADDRESS THE BELIEFS THAT ARE LIMITING YOU

SET THEM FREE

REPLACE THEM WITH ASPIRING BELIEFS IN YOURSELF

YOU ARE DUE TO ACHIEVE MANY AMAZING ACCOMPLISHMENTS IF YOU BELIEVE.
