If You Want a Different Life Make Different Choices

Get intentional and take control of your life

In a time when so much is out of our control due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, there’s one thing that remains in our control — our choices.

I don’t know what kindergarten will look like when my daughter starts in the Fall.

I don’t know when I can have a game night with my friends again.

I don’t know how long until wearing masks is no longer the new normal.

And I have no idea when toilet paper will be in stock again.

But I know one thing — I am, and will always be, in control of the choices I make.

When we’re intentional about the choices we make we create the life we want on purpose. Having the life we want won’t happen by accident. It takes effort to live with intention, especially when we’re used to living on autopilot. But it is a choice — one entirely within our control.

We can’t change that we are living in a pandemic. But we can change how we approach each day.

Choose to take responsibility for your life

Getting started on the journey of living with intention is simple: take responsibility for your life.
