Our lives are like a story. There is often the good, the bad and
sometimes the ugly that we often want to hide. But overall, the
way that we live and what we do is our story. Honestly, I had never
thought about it in such simple terms until picking up Intentional
Living by John C. Maxwell.
Reading Intentional Living will show the reader the simple steps
they need to make to start living life with purpose and that one of
the simplest steps is changing one’s mindset! The great thing is
that as long as we are alive, we have the ability to shift our story to
who we want to be instead of who we might be right now. Instead
of living an unintentional life where things just sort of happen, we
can begin to live intentionally and choose to make a difference,
then it becomes like a ripple effect where we might just influence
someone else.
This is the first book I have read by John C. Maxwell, and if I had
to describe it in one word it would be “inspirational.” There is no
way to read this book and not be inspired to live the best life you
can live: A life without regret. A life where you can make a difference.
This book motivates and inspires but it also touches a place
deep in my heart as I read the stories the author shares. The writing
style is easy to understand, and I truly felt like I was listening
to Maxwell speak as I read the book. There were so many favourite
passages that I underlined, but the one line that stood out was: “If
you give with no expectation of return, you can make a difference
and live a life that matters.” Isn’t that what we all want?
This book is truly a timely one for today’s society; one that everyone
should read. I have found myself re-reading certain passages
because I truly want to live a life that matters. This book holds the
key to help unlock the potential that lives inside all of us
