Sometimes I’m so busy living for the future, that I forget about today. I take the time to plan all these huge goals and try to setup the future to be bright. I probably miss out on opportunities on a daily basis that I would have seen if I would have been more intentional about them.

I forget how important it is to make Jasmine’s day.
I forget how important it is to make sure others know I care.
I forget about the kid whose dad isn’t around to play catch with them.
I forget about how important it is to just smile.
I forget that some people just need me.

People need you, too. They need you to be you. This is what “being intentional” is to me.

What are some other examples of how all of us can be more intentional each day?
