What is the missing piece?

Money is solely a tool that becomes useful with skill. Get intentional about the skills.

Defining and Understanding Intentionality:
* Intentionality is about aligning your actions with your words. It's the bridge between saying you'll do something and actually doing it. It's about personal integrity.
* It's about making realistic promises to yourself and keeping them. This builds trust with yourself.
* It involves recognizing the difference between what's within your "sphere" of influence and what's not, and setting goals accordingly. It's okay to start small.
* It's not about comparing yourself to others. Everyone is on their own journey.

Building Intentionality and Self-Trust:
* Intentionality, like confidence, is a characteristic that can be developed. It's a skill.
* It starts with small, achievable goals. Success with small goals builds momentum and confidence for larger ones. Even something as simple as "I got out of bed today" can be a starting point.
* Building trust with yourself is like building stamina. It requires consistent effort and practice.
* Accountability plays a key role. Holding yourself accountable for your promises strengthens your integrity.
* Reflecting on things you're grateful for can boost happiness and create a positive environment for intentionality.

Practical Steps for This Week:
* Gratitude Reflection: Dedicate time each day to reflect on something you're grateful for. This can be a small step towards building self-appreciation and positive momentum.
* Achievable Goal Setting: Set one or two small, realistic goals for the week. Focus on things you know you can accomplish. Examples: Eating a vegetable each day, spending 15 minutes reading, or calling a friend.
* Promise Keeping: Identify a small promise you can make to someone else (or yourself) and make sure you keep it. This reinforces the connection between word and action.
* Self-Compassion: Be kind to yourself. Recognize that everyone makes mistakes. If you don't meet a goal, reassess and adjust, rather than beating yourself up. Treat yourself with the same kindness you would offer a friend.
