Are you living your life on autopilot? It was a wake-up call one of my clients had this week. Living intentionally, being awake in your own life, means being aware and choosing. Trying something so that you know whether you enjoy it or not. Whether it works for you or not. Instead of just assuming it does or it doesn't.

Are you taking "photos" of your life? Are you taking snapshots and notes so that someday in the future you can look back and celebrate how much has changed? How much you've changed and grown? And are you taking the time to dream about what it is that you want to "plant" in your life? Being able to see and celebrate your progress is a skill and it’s not one that most of us are taught. But it’s crucial to feeling good in your life.

Memories, adventures, and experiences don’t just happen. With careers, kids, responsibilities, and routines, an entire season can pass you by if you don’t think about what you want to create. A life that you'll remember takes intention, but it doesn’t have to be hard.
