I recently wrote in my journal, “Keep it simple!"

Life is certainly complicated and tends to be very stressful. I spent years praying that my circumstances would change so I could enjoy life, but finally realized I needed to change my approach to life. I needed to change my attitude and learn to think more simply. Making this intentional shift, allowed me to live more powerfully.

Often I’m asked, “How do you keep your priorities straight?”

My answer, “I’m always straightening them out.” I’m always straightening out my approach and my attitude for the season I’m standing in.

Sometimes it’s necessary to take an inventory on your life. To stop as ask yourself if you are enjoying it. There are many things in this world that can drive us away from what’s most important so every once in a while we must take responsibility to look at our lives and pay attention to what we’re doing with it.

Lots of people want lots of things from us, but we don’t have to bruise our life and forfeit our joy to keep them happy.

My core aim in designing these Happy Monday messages for you, is to inspire a mindset of intentionality. Taking on the head space of living fully and not holding back, let me close by asking: This is your one chance at life, what is it you were meant to do with it? What’s next for you? What’s the stuff on your life list? Are you moving in that direction?
