What Is Your Intent? Reminding Yourself Why You Do What You Do.

Source: entrepreneur.com - Sep 4, 2018

Research shows that the most successful and resilient people are driven by a sense of purpose. However, for many of us, everyday work can become routine and boring, or totally overwhelming and stressful. Reminding ourselves of our deeper aspirations (our intents) can help find new passion and purpose in our work, or help us admit that it is time to make a change.

An intent is who we aspire to be -- as individuals, members of our community (family, workplace) or citizens of our planet. As a child, my father, the well-known author Deepak Chopra, would regularly ask my brother and I what we wanted. We would respond with things like tickets to a concert, new clothes or video games. He would patiently guide us to think about the qualities in our life that we wanted -- love, connection, joy and a sense of purpose.
