Living By Intention

When Samahria and I started the Option Institute® about 30 years ago, I recall writing down a list of my primary intentions. Among them were learning to be happier than ever, experiencing love as a daily continuing experience, doing my bliss, seeing opportunities in every situation, and making my every step a walk with God.

Our perspective, the philosophy we began to live by years ago (The Option Process®), led us to question all our thoughts and beliefs, which fueled all our feelings and guided all our behaviors. We were going to do our best to understand and fully accept ourselves as we moved forward. We wanted nothing less than to create the best possible versions of ourselves, as perfectly imperfect as that might be.

A long road to take? Yes. With many challenges along the way? Without question! But every step has proved a blessing. We fulfilled many of our original intentions, and we still work at understanding ourselves better and growing ourselves bigger. Now, design your own journey so you know not only where you want to go, but also how you want to get there.

As you’ll find, clear intentions will enable you to create set points on your personal road map. Go ahead: Write your intentions down, put them up on your wall, read them every day, get going right away.
