Living my life with intention has allowed the things I want to do and the things I should do to better align.

My days are filled with the kind of purpose that a day job never gave me.

The things I do each day don’t come with a paycheck, but they do come with a sense of purpose.

So, what I want and what I need fall into better alignment.

I am setting a foundation for the rest of my life. I don’t know what’s going to happen in the future, but whenever it does happen, I want to feel like a solid human being.

So, I’m laying into what’s important.

Now, I actually want to exercise. I want to spend time in nature. I want to read.

I have to keep an eye on my three pillars: sleep, healthy eating, and exercise.

If those things fall apart, then everything falls apart.

When the three pillars are maintained, I can put forth better effort into what’s important with greater concentration and consistency.
