Intentions for 2005

Now is the time of the year when people are making resolutions - another of those words that comes with its own built-in baggage. You know, those words that have some sort of context already attached. When we make resolutions, we often know we're not going to really DO what we resolve.

How about calling this year's resolutions intentions instead? What if we live 2005 with Intention and do things ON PURPOSE - WITH PURPOSE?

I recently became a published author - in the book Don't Miss Your Boat . It's a collection of stories by and about people who are living their purpose.

One thing to keep in mind when pondering the word "intention" is to remember that there is a huge difference between intending to do something and doing something with intention.

One will get you a fulfilled life and the other will leave you with a life of regret.

It's always your choice. And it's possible to choose every single day.

So make 2005 your Year of Intention - and start living your unique purpose!

Happy New Year!
