More from intention....

"Live more from intention, and less from habit."

I haven't a clue what the original source of this quote is, though I've scoured the web and am still unable to give a correct citation. Nonetheless, it has stuck with me these last several weeks since I came across it, and it strikes me as a bit of advice useful to those who have dreams, but live on the promises of others.

What do you intend of your life? What are your dreams? What are your goals?

These are the first questions you must ask of yourself before you proceed, lest you fall into established habits and comforts to your own detriment.

Here's a quick and easy way to discover whether you're really pursuing your own dreams, or being drawn into those of others as little more than a comfortable thing rather than the person you are:

Flip a coin and make a wish. Before it lands on the ground or in your hand you'll know what you really want. Pursue the path that rewards you with that, not the one that is convenient for now.

It is not the now that rewards us. It is the future. You only have one.

The people who are using you to their own comfort and benefit have multiple options. They always do. If you open your eyes the signs are the same ones that were there the last time you made this same mistake.

Fix it quickly. Move on. Succeed.
