Living Intentionally

"Is what you are intentional or accidental?" The E-Myth, by Michael Gerber.

I know that who and what we are is more than what we do for a living. I also know that what we do for a living affects every area of our lives whether we realize it or not. It has great impact on who and what we are. If what you are doing for a living is not raising you up, then it's dragging you down. There is no stagnation, it's either up or down, always in motion. It doesn't even matter the size of the paycheck, it hangs upon the feeling of reaching for your calling in life. If you have a calling in life you are, at the very least, started in moving toward it. Providing that the calling is strong enough in you, your actions will line up toward the attainment of that purpose. If you don't have a calling on your life, you are letting life live you, you are living accidentally.

If you are serious about who and what you want to be then start with this very simple exercise. Write down the names of 5 people whom you admire. List the attributes in them you really admire. You are using at least 5 people because no 1 living person can have it all, nobody is a complete package. Now, take 30 minutes a day and read those attributes aloud as if to say "I am (Bold, Courageous, Loving, Kind, Attentive, Ambitious . . .)". You are reading it out loud because "Faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God". If you aren't hearing it, the vibration of your voice is not energy. When you speak aloud, you are creating some form of energy that God can use in your life, it affects your mind then your actions. The end.
