Another Trip.....Living My Life with Intention

We just got back from Breckenridge, Colorado and it was another amazing trip. This is one of the greatest reasons why I made the switch from Corporate America to Entrepreneur. It's an incredible feeling to have the ability to pick and go, anywhere, anytime I want to and continue to make money. There is no one to answer to except yourself. Being in total control of my life gives me a greater appreciation for everything that I do and contribute to in society. What it really stems down to is living a life with intention, your intention and no one elses. So, what does that really mean? For me, it's waking up every morning and focusing on the vision I have created for myself and family. It's waking up every morning knowing that I have the power and motivation to do the activities that I know will bring me closer to that vision that I have created.

I often sit in awe of the life I am living. I used to think that the only way to become successful was to work really hard, sacrificing my personal and family life. Then I realized, as you begin to live your life with intention, and you balance it out, you have more to offer to others. You are revived, rejuvenated. You become overflowing with Joy that is overwhelmingly contagious. When you are doing more of what you love day in and day out it is amazing the new possibilities that open up for you. All of the sudden the world becomes your play land, you thrive instead of survive. The filter of life, or what I call your belief system that was created by your past experiences and your thinking begins to shift. You realize that, that was then and this is now. And you live in the now and focus on the vision you have created. By shifting your thinking that filter becomes much wider and you become more open to receive. As you become more open to receive, new ideas, concepts it opens up your mind and heart and you then live your life with intention.

What is my intention? Well, it is to live a life without limits. Cherishing and enjoying each and every moment for what it is, spending time doing the things that I enjoy with the people that I love and assisting others in realizing their life long goals and dreams. Just imagine if everyone in this world felt fulfilled or lived a life that was thriving not surviving. When you begin living life this way, there is no pre-judgement of others, there is no right and wrong. It is about what works for you. That is why I am so passionate about what I am doing. I know that the more people I can get this message out to, the better place this world would be. It's truly about assisting others who then in turn assist others and so on and so forth...for every one person I touch, move and inspire to live a life of intention, the butterfly effect is tremendous.

Colorado is such an incredibly beautiful place. To sit and stare at the mountains, the wild flowers and the aspen trees...to raft down the Colorado River through the canyons, it places me in awe of the amazing power of nature. And then I sit and think...we are all connected and how amazing each and every human being is...how we are all so perfect in our imperfections. Enjoy the slide show of our trip. As you can see, I have captured earth's incredible beauty.
