🌟💼🤝🌿🌱Accountability, integrity, and intentionality hold immense value. Emotional and spiritual intelligence are also of great importance. In a world that often prioritizes wealth as a measure of worth, it's crucial to remember that true value comes from being spiritually fulfilled, not financially rich. Reflect on a time when you prioritized integrity and spiritual fulfillment over financial gain. How did it impact your sense of self-worth and fulfillment?🔄💰🚫💔

Yet, it’s these tiny, seemingly insignificant elements that often hold the key to success, both in life and in crochet.

The Meaning Of Life

Life has no purpose on its own; it simply exists. We are free to hold any perspective; our personal living experience may include connecting with people, socializing, thinking on topics, and consciously guiding every scenario. All of this culminates in our current world. We establish our life position, asserting that we are accountable for and have fashioned our own lives out of the existence given to us. As a result, we must emphasize living to comprehend life's worth and give it meaning.

Those who live to savour each day as it arrives are awake and aware of everything around them. They want to make a name for themselves, earn a living through simple methods and feel worthy of whatever they do or want to do. Life is a challenge for them, and they must face it with a positive ego and attentive consciousness. Instead of dwelling in the past and fantasizing about the future, keep watching things and experiencing life to become more aware of experiencing the present. Having a wealth of knowledge and proficiency in many subjects is considerably less satisfying than living and experiencing life moment by moment, intentionally for today.

Living life to its fullest and in the right balance is far more gratifying than being concerned about material accumulations. We should reflect on what we have contributed to society and the world during our lives. Those who have fully lived their lives have no dread of death. Life has a purpose that is for something bigger than ourselves. While some souls are carefree, the majority of us encounter the extremes of worldly living, which we seek to balance with spiritual grace at some point. All we have to do is appreciate both the material and spiritual aspects of life.

Life has no value in and of itself; living is a process that produces a uniqueness that reflects our consciousness. It also has no purpose because that would imply a goal that would confine existence to materialism. The aim of constructing our individuality, which will last in eternity after we die, should be how we reflect in its entirety. The manner Buddha, Lord Krishna, Jesus Christ, and countless others realized from their living, which they left behind for all eternity.

We must recognize that, as physical beings, we experience an illusory drama of existence. The entire purpose of life is to awaken from this state of ignorance. We are neither body, mind, nor consciousness; everything originates from nothing and returns to nothing. Our mission in life is to free ourselves from the mind's illusions and become who we are concerning the awakening of our soul lying dormant within.

It is a waste asking this question when you are the answer. You need to create that uniqueness of what you are today and will become in future. Anything in its absoluteness does not provide its meaning, only its essence. Like the divine with a name and gender has no meaning, provides only belief and faith. However, our thoughts and acts of divinity, love, righteousness and truthfulness express and exhibits a deep sense of our essence.

Similarly,  material living is satisfied by being consistently dissatisfied, leading to temporary identifications and attachments. The meaning in material life ushers more of anger, anguish, anxiety and agitation besides providing ego, knowledge and comforts. However, balancing the material wants with clarity, clairvoyance, contentment, and calmness brings a lot of meaning to celebrating life. Hence, in the nothingness of the universe, life has no meaning; however, a conscious principle in experiencing body, mind, and soul demands a purpose.

 Life is more of survival and propagation for the plants and animals, but for us is to discover and create. From the being to becoming out of that beingness/consciousness is to know who you are inward, what you are outwardly and the direction of the movement of your life existentially from one moment to the next. This means always be alert, attentive and aware in life to create and celebrate happiness and sadness with equal grace and respect with your third eye open so that you live in eternity even when you are not physically alive in the hearts of others.

𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘳?💫 If you are anything like me, you have a bucket of hopes for the world and a lot of big ideas. Some more feasible than others, but for the most part, you pick good goals, set them, and get them. There’s not much room for fear of failure when you’re busy making things happen, and you might even get into a successful flow when 💥BOOM💥 “Earth to Briana…” ☎️ reality hits - a family or work emergency, a sick child or pet, a broken appliance, car trouble, bills piling up, crazy gas prices, nobody can afford eggs, women’s rights, systemic racism, corporate greed, you name it. The stress builds, sleepless nights of worry add up, and the panic ensues. It is so easy to feel discouraged at this point and it certainly doesn’t help when others do not see your vision the way you do. Defending one’s dreams and protecting one’s work is a challenging, but also very passionate and fulfilling part of life. To be a visionary is to see beyond the failures and defeats in order to reveal the possibilities of your destiny. It takes a great deal of energy and self-discipline to maintain belief in oneself and their mission, and to move forward after experiencing rejection and dispiriting opinions. Not everyone will get it, nor will they all have immediate confidence in your plans of action, but if I’ve learned anything this past year it’s that when something doesn’t work out, it’s because I’m supposed to be doing something better. I would be doing myself a great disservice if I closed myself off to the expressions of my loved ones so I try my best to explore criticism and guidance from another perspective, choose to push past any defensive feelings at the moment, and ask myself, what needs to change? “Discouragement has never caused me to give up. But once I’ve had my fill of it, it always causes me to step up.” Luckily, stepping up my game is what I do best. 💁🏻‍♀️✨ #dreambig #livingwithintention #goals (at California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CneXj9NLTkh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tell me what you want ! What you really really want

Mindfulness - this used to be a much easier topic to tackle when the world was simpler. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We may not have hoverboards in the 21st century, instead we have high powered pocket computers that act like an adult mobile (you know, the thing that sits above a baby crib) As a parent you want, even need that distraction around. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But as adults we often use them as diversions to avoid even something as simple as boredom. Btw, if you think that by me saying this, I’m not guilty of doing this, you’re wrong. I’m the first person to pull out my phone while I wait for my takeout. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Oh, and I put my phone down to check my Instagram just now (no kidding) while writing this post. If you’re wondering how that is possible, I write these on my laptop. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Imagine how much more present the world would be without smartphones. I realize the irony of this as I write the very thing that is meant to distract. But stay with me. What if just once during today when you have a knee jerk reaction to pick up your phone, you didn’t. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What task could you devote your focus to? What emotion could you honestly address? What person would you call to check in on? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Post in the comments below what triggers you to turn to diversions. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let’s identify these triggers and stay present together. 👯 . . . #femmefatal #livingwithintention #mindfulliving #dangerouswomen #ladyluxury #confidentwomen #uniquejewellery #uniquejewelrydesign #statementjewelry #beautifuljewelry #beautifuljewellery #jewelryartist #jewelryaddiction #jewelryartist #jewelryartisan #jewelryart #jewelryasuniqueasyou #andrealijewelry #knowyourvalue #gemstonejewelry #jewelrymaker #collarnecklaces #gemstonejewelry (at Denver, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsgWPs6FX3-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xdbi297tcmj6

3 Ways To Have Purpose In Life

What is living with intention? 

Simply put it is living a life that aligns with your core values and beliefs.

It does not mean you have to be religious or spiritual, but it does require you to at least try and discover the core of who you are.

Intentional living can be realized in various concepts like: minimalism, simple living, slow living and simplification. A definitive objective of these, paying little heed to their name, is to work on your life from all angles so you can achieve your best life. 

On the off chance that you desire to discover how to live more deliberately there are some key things you can change, even beginning today, that will give you the ability to reroute your life and even reset it on a daily basis.

Minimalism

Being a minimalist is all about being more purposeful with what you buy and own. This does not mean you have to own very little or that you can’t have nice things. To each his own and what works for one minimalist might not work for another as there is not “standard” really.

It’s just about being intentional with what we buy and use and asking ourselves two questions:

Do I really need this?

Does this add value to my life?

Why waste money or space if you don’t need something when someone else might actually have use for it?

Slow Living

This way of living with intent is not suggesting you move at a snail’s pace through life nor not give a f*ck about anything. You can still be productive, effective and efficient with regards to this purposeful methodology of that promotes intentional living. 

Slow living is about the minutes between the things we need to do to survive and thrive.

In those "free" minutes, how are you investing your energy? 

Stressed out, feeling burdened and stuck in pre-arranging the next year from now? 

Take a break. Read a book. Meditate. Garden. Sit in silence. Maybe even watch a movie.

What soothes your soul? Do that...

Simple Living

There is nothing wrong with keeping it simple while still getting shit done. Time is money and we all want more time so learning how to be intentional in the things we do on a daily basis pays dividends.

Be sure to read this article where I talk about ways to have good simple living for starters, but in essence time is money and you deserve more time.

Our day to day existence can be much more simpler if we allow it to be and in the end it will only make our lives more rich.

So regardless of where you are at in your self-improvement venture I hope this post encourages you to dive into intentional living. Awaken your minimalist mindset and simplify your life. Let your self growth be magnified by embracing the slow living lifestyle. 

I promise you that not only will you still get where you want to go, but you might get there sooner and it will definitely be even more rich than you could have ever imagined.

Living with Intention

In today’s fast paced digital world, that seems to be changing to rapidly for anyone to really keep up, focusing on personal growth feels to be moving down in priority. Being knee jerk reactive and saying what comes to mind in the moment appears to be the operating system for most people. Doing a quick search for social media results in numerous programs all competing for attention. Time is at a premium and it appear that now more then ever there is a real need for on the fly self care. This is counter to what many practitioners have believed as what would be effective. There is a way that might be beneficial, which of course take some practice, but it is possible to mold your world with intention that could bring a calm in the day.

Imagine day to day activities which include some of the following for most people: wake up, go to sleep, get ready for work, work, internet related activities, browsing and interacting on social media, shopping, listening to music, cleaning, making and eating food, purchasing food, bathroom routines, driving, caring for children, reading, fitness training, etc. This is not meant as an exhaustive list, by any means, it is simply meant to define some common activities that many if not most people do during the day. There is little idle time during the day and most people consume that time with internet or social media. Which means no time but in reality there is plenty of time especially when you are looking for less then a minute. Where o where is this mysterious time, the answer, before and after everything.

One note, like most things this takes work and practice but everyone can do it and it should shift things in your life for the better. With that said here is the most basic way to bring intention into everything you do. Look at every individual activity during the day possibly write them all down if that helps. Identify two or three activities, they can be anything ideally it would be good to identify activities that are challenging or cause stress but any will do.

As an example cleaning is one that can be a struggle especially with having children. Here is the task, right before cleaning, close eyes, note this should be done as in the moment of the activity, no special seating or position is required. A good demarcation point could be right when cleaning supplies are picked up. Ok, cleaning supplies in hand, stop close eyes and then count backwards from 10 to 0 and picture each of the numbers throughout the count. At 0 take a deep breadth in and out. Then try to see the end state of the task, in the case of cleaning what would the space look like. Hold on to it for a few seconds then count up from 0 to 10 picturing each number throughout the count. When complete do the cleaning.

Once the activity is completed, in the motion of putting away the cleaning supplies, stop again close eyes count down from 10 to 0 at 0 open eyes and take a look at what has been done and mentally note all the activities that were completed by looking directly at them. Specifically ignore any items you may have missed or not completed. Once that is complete move to to the next task ideally starting the exercise for that task.

With a little practice this can become almost like reflex but even in the beginning it should not take longer then a minute to stop, count down, picture desired end state, and count up. Then when complete stop count down, acknowledge the work done. Following this process for as many tasks during the day while it can feel time consuming at first should become reflexive over time. The prefect state would be doing this before and after as many if not all task done in a day but starting with 2-3 difficult tasks is a great start.

Transformation

The nature of Life and the living is transformation. 

We see it as the tides roll in. The sand sifts and pulls leaving anew shore just as smooth as the last, yet made up of different grains. Over and over again - layers of change. 

We see it in ourselves. New faces that we believe to last forever sometimes stray, disappear, or change into the next. We have fond memories of our past that when reflected on can be just as painful as the broken ones. We want to hold on… we want to resist difference. However, one thing remains certain - nothing stays the same. This is why it is important to maintain our present. To be grateful for what each moment shares with us. The Truth is change and change within itself is a constant gift. Accepting the newness of each and everyday is the gift Life shares with us. It is no more and no less.

Love blesses us as I choose to live in the present moment. We celebrate this awareness by letting go of what was past perceived. We honor the breath of Life through letting go of resistance to change. For each and every experience is new. For each and every face has its own story that has shaped it. 

We know that good is possible in Life. We choose our steps with intention and wisdom - for anything unkindly is now released from our subjective mind. Our Life is full of positivity - Freedom, wisdom, and love. After all, our Life is shared with the Universe. As the Universe has transformed beautifully with beginnings and endings - so will we.

We accept transformation as a breath of Life. We gratefully stay present as Life allows us to have a story to share. We gratefully stay present in awareness that all that is shown to us is the chance to honor the reflection of the Universal Consciousness within our own being. Life is good, and our purpose is well.

We release our experiences and gratefully accept the present.
