“Your beliefs are your actions. What you say is just what you think.”

Embrace the Within.

Are you paying attention to your intention today? I am repeating the process again today. There are no days off in the journey if you’re trying to reach the goal. There may be setbacks and bumps on the trail but the journey continues daily.

I used to struggle every day. I still do struggle but not with repeating the process. I struggle with the process. Doing the process, putting in the work, is natural now. After a couple years of waking up and focusing on the process, the waking up and repeating is the easy part now. I know it starts out as a struggle. But it does get easier when you build a good habit. And the only way to build a good habit is to continue to practice that good habit.

It is a lot easier to go back into the comfort of the well-worn rut at first. Now, I don’t even know what the rut was like. I only know this routine and its adaptation and variation over time.

So, if you’re struggling with change, remember that it takes time to build new routines. It takes time to change your mind. And there will be setbacks and bumps in the process but you need to continue inspite and despite these challenges if you want to create change. Change is never easy. Doing the same is easy.

Courage is choosing to change. Make that positive change you want in your life one step, one moment, one day at a time. I believe in you even when you don’t believe in yourself. I was there and I made the change. You can too.

Have the day you want. I hope you find whatever you’re looking for.

“Your beliefs are your actions. What you say is just what you think.”

Embrace the Within.

I wake up every day with two primary intentions for the day. I intend to make my world better and my self better every day.

I carved out a nice little world for me on this acre and change in the woods and I intend on taking care of that world. I tend to the animals and the plants and the people here. I intend to allow them to be better every day. I intend for my world to get better every day.

I also carved out a nice version of me over the past four decades and change. I intend on taking care of my self. I intend on being better physically, mentally, and spiritually every day. Being better than the day before and getting better at what I am here to do.

Once you align your intentions with your journey, you then need to pay attention to what you’re doing about getting there. And that means not paying attention to things that aren’t getting you there. And there are a lot of things vying for your attention that truly do not matter. I pay attention to the plants and the animals and the people in my life. My intentions are aligned with making them better so my attention needs to go there rather than to things that do not matter. Paying attention to what you intend focuses your journey.

And every day I wake up and repeat the process of paying attention to what I intend. I get up and do the things that are necessary for my world and my self to be better each day. There is a repetition of the attention to the intention.

What are your intentions? Are you paying attention to what you intend? Are you repeating the process daily? Give it a try and it may focus your journey on the path you intend.

Have the day you want. I hope you find whatever you’re looking for.
