I believe that a life lived with intention is the best life you can live. Life is lived in three phrases which are 1) Learning, 2) Earning and 3) Returning Phase. The other thing is that there are five areas that you will focus on to different degrees in each phase.
These are purpose, wellness, work, money, and community. The idea is to create a balanced and intentional life that promotes growth, satisfaction and well-being. Having a clear sense of PURPOSE is the foundation of intentional living.
It gives your life direction, guiding your choices and helping you stay focused on what truly matters to you. Living with purpose means setting meaningful goals and engaging in activities that bring you joy and fulfillment.
The second item is WELLNESS which encompasses both physical and mental, and plays a crucial role in your ability to live intentionally. What you have to do is first take care of the physical, exercise, a balanced diet, sleep, and mental health practices.
The second part is emotional well-being and is essentially involves managing stress, fostering positive relationships, and practicing mindfulness.
The third item is WORK which is a major part of our lives. You need to find work that is meaningful and aligns with your values and goals. Intentional work means finding balance, creating boundaries to prevent burnout, and continually reassessing your career path so that it reflects your evolving values.
The fourth item is MONEY. Recognizing that it is only a tool which if well managed will provide freedom and security. It means making thoughtful financial decisions that align with your goals. That your resources will be used to support your well-being, long term stability, and provide experiences that matter most to you.
The last was COMMUNITY. People are created to live in communities, and that means connecting with others and contributing to a broader community that align with your values and provides a sense of belonging and support.
