Friends, I want to share a gentle reminder today—one that’s been life-changing for me and might just be the spark you need, too:

Be intentional.

That means showing up on purpose, not just drifting through your days hoping things will somehow work out. Hope is a wonderful thing—but it’s not a strategy.

As Jim Rohn used to say, “You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight.” That starts with making the decision to steer your life deliberately.

Years ago, I learned that success doesn’t show up by accident.

Napoleon Hill, the author of Think and Grow Rich, put it powerfully: “There is one quality which one must possess to win, and that is definiteness of purpose.” In other words, get clear on what you want—then move with intention toward it every day.

Being intentional doesn’t mean everything goes perfectly. Life still has its surprises, its delays, its detours. But when you’re intentional, you’re at least pointing your efforts in the direction of your dreams.

Write it down. Revisit it daily. Speak it out loud. Start the morning with the question: “What’s one small thing I can do today to move closer to the life I want?”

Intentional living is how we build a meaningful life—on purpose, with purpose.

It’s Your Life… LIVE BIG!
