October Living With Intention

Busy is not the same as fulfilled.

Most people aren't exhausted because they're doing too much. They're exhausted because they never decided what's worth doing. So they say yes to everything and call it a full life. It's not full. It's just busy. And then, they burn out or go from one thing to another looking for fullfillment. 

Intention is the difference. In this issue we start to identify what is improtant to us, inspires us and how we want to live our lives. Intention is not a mood, it's a filter. It's knowing what matters to you clearly enough that you can tell, in real time, whether something is moving you toward it or just filling space. And it's not just about what you say yes to. It's about what you say no to.

The world doesn't run out of things to ask of you. There will always be another request, another opportunity, another thing that looks important. If you don't know what matters to you, you'll say yes to all of it — and burn out doing things that were never yours to carry. We need to move away from a calendar full of what does not fill your soul. 

We want a life where we spend our time on things that will inspire us and matter to us.This is why I wanted to start The Glow Up Files with focusing on identifying our intention.
