Being intentional means doing things ON PURPOSE & WITH PURPOSE.  I love that explanation so much! Moving through life with purpose-driven thoughts changes everything; you choose to think about things that support your values and your vision. You understand that your thoughts create feelings, your feelings lead to actions, and it’s those actions that lead to your results.

When you are intentional, you are in the driver’s seat and not moving through life on autopilot. You do not leave your life to chance and allow your days to go as they go. You steer your course and make life happen for yourself. There is purpose in what you think and do.
