The Awe of Intentionality

There is quite a lot of information these days available regarding the power of intention, setting intentions and living by them. What I don't think has been brought out though about living an Intentional Life is the sense of ease and grace that it translates into in one's life.

Living a life of profound intentionality is not the same as goal setting which it is often confused with. In order to live a life of intentionality, you must begin first with making a good assessment of your life right now and then identify the places where you are not living or acting in accordance with whom you want to be in the world. Sometimes we miss some of the signs that we are out of "accord" or out of "integrity". Through spiritual practices and gentle processes we are able to elevate our way of "being" and in turn become more available to the essence that begins to move through us more freely. When we provide the room and the willingness for this essence to move through us, It simply does. This process for some is long and arduous, for others it is gentle, remember you can choose gentle.

Now we are ready to live an Intentional Life, one where we live from our character, from whom we want to be in the world and the effect that we want to have on the world around us. Life in this fashion begins to flow with such ease and grace and it is here that you get to experience the awe. The awe grows in the soil of gratitude so the more we notice the more it multiplies. Enjoy the awe of intentional living.
