This week I'm treating myself to a revisit of Intention 2021, and the uplifting and inspiring principles and practices for living an Intentional 2021. From time to time this year I've taken time to reflect back on the insight and motivation that came to me in January 2021: the desire to live again with greater spiritual integrity and authenticity in this new year, as a premeditation and preparation for living, surviving and thriving in a post-pandemic world. I'm reminded of one of the first insights that came to me in January as I contemplated Intention 2021 and it was this: "Let's begin an Intentional 2021 by taking some time to walk a mile in our own shoes. Who am I? What are my roles in life, and what rights and responsibilities do these roles require of me? What do I value? What are my guiding and grounding life principles, and what are my aspirational life ideals? What are my gifts, skills and talents, and how can I better bless others by sharing these? Is this the world I want to pass on to my children, the next generation, and what needs improving, and what's mine to do?" I'm returning to that this week. Taking time to be quiet and calm with these reflections. Taking time again to write down the insight and inspiration that comes to me. To be open-hearted to the wisdom of that which is true, right and good, and if so inspired to make changes by integrating any inspiring values, principles and ideals into who I am , who I aspire to be, and living it intentionally in 2021 by thinking it, feeling it, speaking it, and doing it. I invite you to take this week as a time to do the same if its also your desire to live with greater intentional awareness and purpose in 2021.
