We have to be intentional about making a difference<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When we live with intention, we live with a plan and specific goals, outcomes and time frames in mind for what we dream and want to do. We know and understand our \u2018why\u2019 behind them. We dare to be bodacious, creative and live a life of unlimited abundance in all its depth and richness.\u00a0 Our intentional living brings a continuous, intentional reflection on these plans and goals in assessing the significance they bring to objectives, the people impacted and to ourselves. As\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rhonda_Byrne\">Rhonda Byrne<\/a> writes us: \u201c<em>Intention is simply the conscious act of determining your future now<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Maxwell writes: \u201c<em>Good intentions will never take you anywhere you want to go.

What you become is the result of what you do today.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Live with a passionate intention of achieving your life\u2019s purpose and meaning, of serving others that they will achieve theirs and becoming more than you ever dreamed you could be\u2026 and more\u2026 so much more.
