Live with intention and mindfulness from "summary" of You Are Here by Thich Nhat Hanh
Living with intention and mindfulness means being fully present in each moment of our lives. It means being aware of our thoughts, feelings, and actions, and understanding how they are interconnected. When we live with intention and mindfulness, we are able to see the beauty and wonder in the world around us. We are able to appreciate the simple things in life, like the sound of birds singing or the feel of the sun on our skin. Mindfulness allows us to be aware of our thoughts and emotions without getting caught up in them. It helps us to see things as they really are, without judgment or attachment. When we are mindful, we are able to respond to situations with clarity and compassion, rather than reacting out of habit or impulse. We are able to make choices that are in line with our values and beliefs, rather than being driven by our fears or desires. Living with intention means being clear about what is important to us and aligning our actions with our values. It means setting goals and working towards them with focus and determination. When we live with intention, we are able to live with purpose and meaning. We are able to create the life that we want for ourselves, rather than simply drifting through life on autopilot.- We are able to live more fully and authentically. We are able to connect with our true selves and with the world around us in a deeper and more meaningful way. We are able to cultivate a sense of peace and contentment that comes from living in harmony with ourselves and with the world. Ultimately, living with intention and mindfulness allows us to live with greater joy, fulfillment, and purpose.
