Be Intentional

Now that we have closed out one year and welcomed a new one, I really want you to set some achievable goals for 2019. You see, for many years of my life, I lived a non-intentional life. I mean there were things that I wanted to achieve but I did not develop a plan or project when I wanted to achieve those goals. For example, in 2002 I started a 30 Things I Want To Do With My Life List. (I think I got this idea from a book I was reading at the time.)

As the name of the list implies, it lists things I would like to accomplish in my lifetime. And that was it…just a list. No, thoughts about when or how… just a list. I guess I was just wandering through life not really understanding that the list was just the beginning and without a plan to execute, the list would only be just words written on a piece of paper.

Are you wandering, just “playing it by ear” or “letting life happen”? (These were some of my favorite anthems of life-smile).

Sisters, be intentional about setting and meeting goals. They are possible. Look at me, I am a published author of a book for which I knew the title in 1999. It took almost 20 years but the goal is met and guess what, there are more goals to meet and set. So, my charge to you regarding your goal setting: Be intentional!
