As the evening settles and the world grows still, let us turn inward and ask ourselves this simple question: Did I live today with intention?

Wayne Dyer once said, “Our intention creates our reality.” Like a gentle breeze guiding the sail, intention steers the course of our lives. But it is not enough to drift—we must set the sail, open our hearts, and choose the direction. Celebrate the self by singing the songs of your own making, and to be unapologetically present in the miracle of now.

Look around and notice how all of nature lives with purpose. The rivers carve valleys with tireless resolve; the trees reach skyward, never doubting their growth and the wind blows wherever it wants to go. What would happen if we, too, embraced such quiet determination—if every step we took was toward something meaningful?

The secret of getting ahead is getting started. Intention requires action, not perfection. It’s about showing up, fumbling forward, and laughing at ourselves all throughout the journey of life.

Live today like it matters, because it does. Every thought you think, every word you speak, every act of kindness you offer—they ripple outward, touching lives you may never know.

So tonight, as your day winds down, be sure to set an intention for tomorrow. Let it be honest, let it be bold, and let it be yours. For a life lived with intention is a life worth living.

Rest well my friend and rise with purpose.
