2023 Is Your Year of Intention and Growth

Before you begin reading, we challenge you to take 60 seconds to consider the following question:

HOW AM I LIVING WITH INTENTION AND WALKING IN MY PURPOSE TODAY?

Try it. Jot some notes down if you’d like. Give yourself at least one full minute to mull this question over in your brain.

Okay. Now, let’s begin.

For some of you, nothing came to mind. You spent 60 seconds racking your brain and nothing really landed. That’s okay. You’re not alone.

For others, you were able to have a full conversation with yourself about the ways you are aligned in your life and meeting your personal standards of intention and purpose. Great.

And then there’s the rest of us. Somewhere in between. 

If you’re anything like us, just getting started is often the hardest part. Let’s start with the foundation. We cannot build on an unsteady foundation, so look for ways to strip your life down to its most very basic purpose and reason for being.

Why are you here? On this planet, at this exact time. Is it just random or is there a reason for you to be here, now? If there is a reason, what is it?

For our team, some of our reasons include love, motherhood, partnership, creation, awareness, and growth. Your reason can be anything you’d like, but it must resonate with you. It is what gets you out of bed every day. It’s what makes you smile when you think about it and maybe it also sometimes keeps you up at night. It’s like a steady buzz always powering your day, whether you consciously notice it, or not.

Purpose is a strong word. It can be scary if you feel like you haven’t found yours or you don’t have one. Trust us, every person on this planet has a purpose. You would not be here if that wasn’t so. Take comfort in knowing that your gifts, even if still undiscovered, are meant to be shared with others. That is what makes a gift a gift, after all. It must be shared to expand its value. You cannot keep it to yourself.

To find your purpose, start with knowing your truth. What is true about you? Try writing down a list of 5-10 things that you know to be true about yourself. Study it. What themes do you see? Your one job while you’re on this planet is to simply become more of who you are already. Authenticity is the highest form of self-respect and respect for those around you. Be true to yourself and your needs and desires and you’ll begin to see your life align piece by piece over time. Stay diligent and be patient with yourself. Only you know what is best for you. Nobody else can know that for you, and you cannot know that for somebody else. When you simultaneously allow others to live in their true spirit, and you practice the same, beauty starts to unfold. It really is that simple if you allow it to be.

We’d love to hear from you.
