Book excerpt: John C. Maxwell, #1 New York Times bestselling author, helps readers take the first steps to living a life that matters inIntentional Living. We all have a longing to be significant. We want to make a contribution, to be a part of something noble and purposeful. But many people wrongly believe significance is unattainable. They worry that it's too big for them to achieve. That they have to have an amazing idea, be a certain age, have a lot of money, or be powerful or famous to make a real difference. The good news is that none of those things is necessary for you to achieve significance and create a lasting legacy. The only thing you need to achieve significance is to be intentional. And to do that, all you need to do is start. You can't make an impact sitting still and doing nothing. Every major accomplishment that's ever been achieved started with a first step. Sometimes it's hard; other times it's easy, but no matter what, you have to do it if you want to get anywhere in life. In Intentional Living, John Maxwell will help you take that first step, and the ones that follow, on your personal path through a life that matters.

As a result of this truth, where we live, how we live, and why we live become matters of great importance. Jesus lived intentionally.

This book was released on 2021-12-03 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We've all been there at some point. The day goes by in a blur, one blink and you miss it. You sit wondering how you got to this point, did you make all of the decisions that got you here knowingly? Have you ever driven or walked to a destination without even thinking twice about which route to take? You get in the car, close the door, turn the key and the next thing you know, you've arrived. At some point your brain switched into a phenomenon I like to call 'autopilot mode'. This book is about how to switch off autopilot and start to live a more intentional and wholesome life. The kind of life that you're proud of, the kind of life that fills you up, one you can look back on and think fondly about every intentional decision you made as the creator of your own story. Life isn't about going through the motions to just exist and function on a daily basis, it's about really and truly living in each moment and having a clear vision of who you are. We live in a world filled with hustle and bustle, pulled from pillar to post, living life in the fast lane. It's easy to feel lost and get swept up in the whirlwind that we call life. This book is a pause. It's a gentle reminder to bring more intention into your days so you can enjoy life so much more. It's a reminder of the simple things in life and how easy they are to overlook. You can either read from start to finish or dip into chapters that resonate to get more of what you love back into your life, and in turn enable you to live a slower, more intentional and much more fulfilled life.

Download or read book Adventures in Opting Out written by Cait Flanders and published by Little, Brown Spark. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Opt out of expectations and live a more intentional life with this refreshing guide from the national bestselling author of The Year of Less. We all follow our own path in life. At least, that's what we're told. In reality, many of us either do what is expected of us, or follow the invisible but well-worn paths that lead to what is culturally acceptable. For some, those paths are fine -- even great. But they leave some of us feeling disconnected from ourselves and what we really want. When that discomfort finally outweighs the fear of trying something new, we're ready to opt out. After going through this process many times, Cait Flanders found there is an incredible parallel between taking a different path in life and the psychological work it takes to summit a mountain -- especially when you decide to go solo. In Adventures in Opting Out, she offers a trail map to help you with both. As you'll see, reaching the first viewpoint can be easy -- and it offers a glimpse of what you're walking toward. Climbing to the summit for the full view is worth it. But in the space between those two peaks you will enter a world completely unknown to you, and that is the most difficult part of the path to navigate. With Flanders's guidance and advice, drawn from her own journey and stories of others, you'll have all the encouragement and insight you'll need to take the path less traveled and create the life you want. Just step up to the trailhead and expect it to be an adventure.

Your marriage can again have renewed tenderness, intimate closeness, and intense passion.
