Intention
For some time, perhaps even an extended time, I trield ‘living in the moment.’ Only it never really worked with me. It feel more artificial than right.
Then one day, some how way or where, I got this new concept of living with intention. This feels more authentic. In fact, it does feel like the outgrowth of Henry David Thoreau’s philosophy of living deliberately.
Living with intention means coming off of autopilot and focusing on the task of here and now. The purpose is the intent.
Little annoyances vanish. I know where my key collection – three vehicles, two residences and a business facility – are when I place them with intent. Less wrong numbers ar dialed when I intentionally remember that the keypad rows on the telephone are reversed from the computer pad. And there is more engaged communications when I listen with the intent of asking three questions to better understand.
A life that is lived with intention is a life that is lived in the moment.
