Live by intention
that would create real fulfillment
of the purpose you know is yours?
Take a deep breath,
feel the immense power of your intention,
and do it.
How can you bring your own
unique beauty and perspective
to this moment
and to the circumstances
in which you find yourself?
With a joyous, generous heart,
give that beauty expression
in your actions right now.
If you live merely by reaction,
you're always playing catch up,
and that's not really living.
Choose to live by intention.
When you have a thought
or a feeling or a desire,
explore it,
seek to understand it
and to follow where it leads.
You can have a positive
and meaningful influence
on each moment,
so take the opportunity
to exercise that influence.
Put the special,
one-of-a-kind beauty
of who you are into practice here,
now and always.
Fill your days
with the value
and satisfaction
of authentic living.
Live by intention,
from the inside out.
Do, say and be what you know
is truly you.
Ralph Marston
