When you watch for the Olympics, have you noticed every contestant has one thing in common regardless of age, background, height, weight or status?
Use this one tip in your life and you will see immediate results.
So, what is it?
They are all intentional. They have all entered the competition to win.
Before and during their long periods of training, they have mastered not only their sport, but also the art of being intentional.

The right type of action is required. To read more about this click here.
What are some of the excuses we have for not being intentional?
- It is not the right time!
I have used this plenty of times. Maybe you have as well. Often this is us just being lazy. The longer we put something off – guess what – it never happens!
- I might make a mistake.
The truth is you will make a mistake if you don’t start being intentional. We are not perfect. We can learn and grow as we work through our mistakes. Don’t settle for the mistake in never being intentional.
- I don’t feel like carrying on.
So what do we do? We cater to our comfort and chuck-in the towel!
What I have learned – we can’t wait for motivation to come to our door and pay us a visit; rather we have to be intentional, ‘press on.’ As we make progress – guess what – motivation comes to meet us and takes us further.
These were just 3 excuses – you may have others. In just 3 words what our response should be when our excuses crop up, and if we want to break free and become a ‘Master’ at being intentional is…

Tony I love this post, I read but rarely comment, but this one struck a cord with me because I want to finish my picture book but I am afraid to make a finish date due to life getting in the way. Illustrations are coming along very slowly I need to commit myself. Thanks for the push in the right direction.
