Are We Living by Design or Default?

I read something this morning that I loved. It read, what is your intention today? What do you want to feel and experience over the next 24 hours?

As I begin to ponder these questions. I became quiet and began to connect in with Spirit in oneness and gratitude. I visualized the day ahead and thought who will I see and what actions will I take? Then I considered what qualities I would demonstrate and what attitude I would hold. Would I be patient, adventurous, loving, grateful?

 Life is made up of a myriad of choices we make everyday. Over the past many years I've noticed that many of my clients in my coaching practice are living by default rather than by design.

I decided a year ago to create a morning call and I call it the "Create Your Day" call. Every day Monday through Friday for 15 minutes all of us on the call are given the opportunity to speak out loud about the blessings in our lives and name those circumstances we are grateful embraced us. Then we set an intention for what we'd like to show up in our day. We've decided rather than blindly propelling ourselves into the motion of the day, we would live our day by design and give our energy to the manifestations we desired to experience rather than just free fall into the agenda of other people including our own sometimes unconscious un-disciplined negative thoughts.

We are more powerful than we sometimes realize. Our thoughts go out and create a path for us. We get to have an impact on that path. By Design or Default?
