Be Intentional😇

There’s a new wave of mental sanity I think you should know of; that is being intentional.

Being intentional is a high level of maturity that could make people’s lives easier should they decide to live by that.

To love, you must be intentional. Make the choice and stick with it. Love becomes beautiful if both parties agree they’d be intentional in loving each other.

Hurtful things happen day in day out. There’s an Akan adage that says: “Dua 3b3n na etwie” meaning only trees close to each other hit or rub against the other. Literally, this means that most offenses will come from your close circle.

This point is important to me because, most mental health issues sprout from hurt. They could result from disappointment, ingratitude, disregard or disrespect, to mention a few.

Being intentional about life helps a great deal by keeping your mind protected from further damage by hurt.

Be intentional about showing love to that colleague whom everyone finds weird and distant themselves from. Be intentional about letting that rudeness from the teller slide. Be intentional about giving criticism to your lower level team member or junior staff.

To those who have lost or ruined great relationships, be intentional about tolerating and accommodating even the difficult party. If someone or a situation will cause harm or damage, be intentional about stepping aside but still loving from afar.

Talking about forgiveness, be intentional about letting go. It will do you more good. And remember, the one who forgives is the strongest. Forgiving easily doesn’t make you weak, it shows how matured you are; that’s to say, you are always looking at the brighter side. Learn to forgive yourself too, when you brood over your mistakes it should be to learn from them, not to tear yourself apart.

Embrace Life and Be Intentional in all you do.
