There was a time, many moons ago, when I thought that life would
automatically reward those of us who were intellectually inclined; those of us
who played by the rules and were 'good' more often than not. But then, as the
years went by I realized that that belief left everything to happenstance. For
the most part I knew what I wanted to become..... what I wanted to achieve, but
I made the mistake of assuming I'd grow into that 'space' automatically.
And so I lived
everyday as it came....waiting on my big break.....expecting to become the
woman I thought I was destined to be. But days turned into years, and years
into mountains of frustration, resentment and anger....believing that I
deserved a share of life's pie, but watching with mounting frustration as the
pie passed me by….occasionally stimulated by the random, accidental or
co-incidental, while all the time unknowingly being devoured by the insidious subtlety
of the unplanned existence.
…until I discovered the necessity and value of intentionality.
Deliberate design….taking time to design and create the results I want; understanding
the importance of every single day to achieving these resluts…planting the
seeds, and preparing for the harvest; It
made all the difference. Today as architect of my own life, I carefully develop
the blueprints, select the inputs and daily erect monuments of my own making; experiencing
the art of exceptional living. Living by deliberate design!
