One thing that I am constantly doing is getting caught up in the details of life. But, I often wonder if the things that I choose to focus on are really the things that matter. Becoming more intentional. A goal that I have made for this year is to invest my energy in building up others in small, simple ways. This can be a simple smile, a tea break, or a long walk in the park. It doesn't have to cost much money, only the investment of time and being present. Being more intentional.
Another moment that filled my heart this weekend was watching a special boy in my life play football. He is passionate about the game and it made me happy to cheer him on in the crowd of parents and family members. Nothing is better than cheering on a child. They have so much passion for what they do, but it's about continuously supporting them when the energy wains and frustration sets in. These are the moments when a kind word of encouragement matters the most. This was my first football match in over a year. As I reflect on this simple fact, it makes me want to invest more into his joy. Being more intentional with how I spend my time.
I still tend to get caught up in the silly things like fear and uncertainty. An instant cure is to get out of my head by helping others. It used to be that service was in fashion. People helped each other, because it was the right thing to do. I'm trying to make it more part of my life. Emulating intentional behavior.
What is something you want to be more intentional about that will bring more joy to others?
