Intentionality

One of the life skills I am trying to learn is INTENTIONALITY. Instead of hoping a friendship will develop, I have to take steps to create friendship. Instead of waiting for a particular group to make me feel accepted, I have to make connections and build bridges. Instead of waiting to forget my failures, I have to learn from them and work at improvement. Instead of waiting to “feel like” doing something that needs to be done, I have to start doing it and hope the feelings will follow. Instead of waiting for God to speak to me or move me in some way, I have to worship and serve Him because He is worthy of the best I have to offer Him.

I think a lot of us would feel much better about our lives if we stopped waiting for others to do something for us, and accepted responsibility for our own happiness. I intend to be more intentional!
