Having intent on my intentions may seem fairly redundant but I assure you it is not. Have you ever intended on making up your bed every morning and it started out great for the first week or month? Then life happens and it’s all destroyed by one busy day with a side of rushing to work. You can have intentions on doing something but how much intent do you have on those intentions. Do you set a reminder on your door, do you set your alarm clock 5 minutes earlier? If for some reason you leave the house before doing so would you make it up when you got home even if you would be laying in it 3-4 hours later? How much intent are on your intentions; are you willing to sleep less, be uncomfortable, swallow your pride or even work for free for an unknown possible indefinite amount of time? Well I promise you that I am far from being on my high horse, I’ll prove it to you.
So today I am feeling less than accomplished and slightly defeated although I have surely won some daily battles. Demons, please leave a comment if you have demons it is not necessary to be specific but I would like to show/know that we all have demons. No matter how our life may look we all face personal hurdles or demons in our life. Hopefully we are striving to banish them. I am currently having a small (probably big to some) drink to take the edge off. What edge you may ponder? Well the edge of having a day that usually would lead me to doing something I used to highly enjoy but now is something I stopped as it was a negative habit. I realize this is something I no longer enjoy but when time permits it seems that it is the only thing missing in my day. There are many forms of these habits but I’ll call them as they are, addictions. You can be addicted to drugs, porn, writing, singing, exercise, vegetables and even religion. The definition of addiction is “the fact or condition of being addicted to a particular substance, thing, or activity.” Well this means that even good things can become addictions therefore all things in your life need to be balanced. I have my battles and I’m sure you or someone you know have theirs but patience, solidarity and real intention will conquer these battles.
I have intentions on really doing something with this blog over time. I would like this to be a gateway to speaking to people in an open forum. Motivational speaking would be amazing to me. I want to talk to the youth, all of the youth but truthfully the young black youth are the people I really feel like I can impact the most. I have been through a lot and I can sympathize with them a lot as we have probably encountered similar circumstances and demons in our livers. This will show them they can and will prevail too. I have intentions on continuing my real-estate business and being successful in my stocks and the rest of my investment portfolio. Even though I believe I am on the right path with these intentions I am not forging countermeasures to insure these intentions happen. Putting proper intent on these intentions I have neglected.
We have the power to do as we please to create our own destiny and not stand by as an unknown entity chooses it for us. This is why I hope we all follow through and put intent on our intentions as this will allow us to follow through with our desires. This will lay the structure, the foundation for our endeavors. How can we truly accomplish anything of great importance or magnitude without preparation? That intent is the preparation while the intention is just the idea. I hope this makes since as it is vital to sustaining the actions taken to accomplish goals. I will work on having intent as I hope you do the same.
