By Design or By Default....

I choose to do life intentionally with my antennae up and my heart open. To not pay attention is to miss the wonder of being alive and fully present. In a social media dawn to dusk go, go, go world we have so many reasons not to be present. Have you ever been driving somewhere and taking a turn you did not intend to take? Maybe you take that turn every other day but this day you had a different destination in mind. I have. It's called not being fully present to what you are doing. When we are not fully present what do we miss out on? If our heart is closed or even paritally blocked by old obstacles what are we able to let to it or to flow from it? I choose to live with intention. I intend to see the wonder and experience the joy, happiness and love available. Will I also experience some pain or heartache? Yes. But the alternative is to be numb to it all and for me that is never a choice. How about you? Has the numbness taken over? Are you living on robot like feelings? Would you possibly consider joining me in in living life by design and not by default?
