Lengthen Your Stride Taking Intentional Steps Toward Your Purpose

SHOW NOTES:

On this show…we’re looking to take a big ol’intentional step toward our purpose. Lengthening your stride is about walking with long, decisive steps in a specified direction. Being intentional means doing something with a purpose or deliberately. So what you won’t hear during this show is any type of time-out huddle rally, asking you to get your head in the game and try harder, run faster, or achieve better results. Instead, this will be looking at patience, and timing while we take a purposeful walk along our journey. So relax, let the pressures of the day go, and let’s start to examine where we are and where we want to go. We’ll look at picking up a tip or two so don’t worry about a radical life change. Just a pace that is easy yet a bit more calculated. 

You know when I started out on my journey, I had it all figured out, or at least I thought I did. Remember mapquest printouts? Step-by-step instructions, arrows, markers, and even upcoming detours. Then life hands you unexpected delays and instead of “recalculating” you hang out there for a while, trying to figure it all out and what should be your next move. It seems like a couple of decades of rinse and repeat until you get a better plan, broader view, or maybe just different expectations. What I mean to say is, hey, life has a way of sorting things out and getting you back on course. Maybe not the one you intended but nevertheless, you’re moving forward. 

But guess what….you can insert a little intention here.
