Intentional Living

John C. Maxwell, #1 New York Times bestselling author, helps readers take the first steps to living a life that matters in INTENTIONAL LIVING. We all have a longing to be significant. We want to make a contribution, to be a part of something noble and purposeful. But many people wrongly believe significance is unattainable. They worry that it's too big for them to achieve. That they have to have an amazing idea, be a certain age, have a lot of money, or be powerful or famous to make a real difference. The good news is that none of those things is necessary for you to achieve significance and create a lasting legacy. The only thing you need to achieve significance is to be intentional. And to do that, all you need to do is start. You can't make an impact sitting still and doing nothing. Every major accomplishment that's ever been achieved started with a first step. Sometimes it's hard; other times it's easy, but no matter what, you have to do it if you want to get anywhere in life. In INTENTIONAL LIVING, John Maxwell will help you take that first step, and the ones that follow, on your personal path through a life that matters.

How long has it been since you made an intentional decision that shaped your life? Did that decision draw you closer to God or lead you away from Him? This thought-provoking book unveils God’s intentional decision to place us here, not so we could wander aimlessly, but to include us in what He is doing. As a result of this truth, where we live, how we live, and why we live become matters of great importance. Jesus lived intentionally. He was sent into the world and has already walked where we are to walk. He came to point the way to God, to save, and to serve. As a true Christ follower, we should have the same mission. Intentional Living will inspire you to begin applying this lifestyle philosophy by loving God with your whole being. Intentionally commit to think with God’s mind, see through God’s eyes, embrace God’s personality, feel with God’s heart, tell God’s story, influence with God’s light, and serve with God’s strength.

We can get caught up in what everybody else is doing, what the world wants us to become and then we lose sight of the purpose of our life and the value we can contribute to the world. What is Intentional Living? It’s giving everything we’ve got to make sure we don’t miss a thing. Intentional living is knowing WHY we do what we do. It’s what makes us put down our phone, turn off the TV, de-clutter our homes, and make the moments matter. Intentional living means choosing to live in a way that is in alignment with your purpose in life. Sounds intense, I know. But it’s soooo good! Intentional living takes you from where you are not to where you want to go. It’s the roadmap that helps you navigate life. Intentional living means valuing life so much that you decide how you want to live ahead of time. I am passionate about intentional living, ever since I ‘discovered’ it a few years back and it completely changed my life. I believe that one of the most important lessons that a person can learn is not to just drift through life, but live intentionally and on purpose – and honestly, the sooner we get it, the better. To live an intentional life, we must begin by laying a proper foundation and then add practical steps on top of it. There is no right or wrong way to live intentionally; it works however you define your why. Work on that definition and then live it as you mean it. ‘A Year of Intentional Living’ is divided into 12 chapters – one for each month covering topics like ‘Mind, Body Spirit Rituals’, ‘Health & Well-being’, ‘Your Signature Style’, ‘Soulful Home’, ‘Connecting with Yourself’ and more. In this book, you’ll find practical advice with actionable steps that you can apply right away to start Living a Well-Designed Life; Consciously, Intentionally & Wholeheartedly! “You are the greatest project you will ever get to work on. Take your time.”

Intentional living is a must-read for those that want to live their life on purpose. The conscious choice to create your life, to respond rather than react, to chart your own course both professionally and personally, is an amazing thing. However, it’s also difficult to achieve. Life should be more than a series of situations in which you find yourself. It should be more than a string of events in which you are a passive observer taking a reactionary stance. Intentional living requires that you act, that you decide, and that you choose. Intentional Living, above all else, is a series of lessons learned. Challenge yourself to live in your strengths and passion areas and enjoy the journey of life. Each new day brings another opportunity for learning and personal and professional growth.

By living with intention we are actively shaping our lives, establishing how we wish to invest our energy and time on this Earth. Through the processes of self-enquiry, assessing our values, visioning and mindfulness we can ensure that our beliefs and actions are in alignment, discard those aspects of our lives that no longer serve us and manifest the existence we want. By using easy-to-follow tools, strategies and exercises, leading life coach and speaker, Carolyn Boyes, shows us how, in this fast-paced, demanding world, which is so full of distractions, we can move from living a busy life - one that we endure - to an intentional life - one that we have chosen.
