BI in 2021 for Your Best Year Ever
By barbara w. green
Contrary to how 2020 or any other year may have ended, we can make sure that this year — 2021 — becomes the best year yet of the life we have lived thus far. How can we be assured of this? Well, it is simple really.
BI.
No, not “Bi”, but BI.
BI stands for Be Intentional.
If we would just operate in that simple direction, we would make fewer mistakes, hurt others AND ourselves less, and generally become more fulfilled. Why? Because we would accomplish more of the goals we set for ourselves…intentionally.
Do you realize that we indulge ourselves more in what we intend NOT to do, than what we intend TO Do. We intend not to spend more than we make, but we find ourselves doing that, more often than not. We intend not to hurt others, but we find ourselves saying “I’m sorry”... too much. This year, Be Intentional! You will be surprised of how fewer times you feel the need to apologize; how fewer times you have to go to your savings to make up for your overspending; how much more you feel useFULL than useless.
BE INTENTIONAL.
This will lead to people trusting you more, cause you will find yourself speaking less. And then, people will know that when you speak, you will be worth listening to. You have heard the saying, “talking loud, saying nothing”. That is because the words which are spoken loudly usually have to be forced upon another so as to get attention. But, sadly, the attention does not last.
So, what am I saying? I have already said it: BE INTENTIONAL. Then, you will find that you are trusted more, respected more, heard more and quoted...MORE. Next year, if you have followed this simple suggestion, you shall find that you will have more money, because you will have spent less; more people calling you their friend, because you will not have offended as much as you had in the past. And you will find that you are more SELF assured, thus relying on others advice less. And you will have more acquaintances because people will know that your word IS YOUR BOND.
