Intention - 30 Years

April 5, 1995 - April 5, 2025

Intention is an idea of a success that is needed. It could be a need for personal gain of wealth, health, or just plain happiness. Why? Why do I have intent? For me, it’s for personal growth. And whatever is needed at the time of my intention. I gain happiness in accomplishment.

My intent is to be mentally stable in all aspects of life. During the highs, the lows, and the rollercoaster of day to day life.

I don’t consider myself disabled or unstable. I am what my intention was 30 years ago when I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. To live a life worth being talked about.

I would like to share my hardships, pain, trauma, and all the negatives about my mental illness, and addiction, but I’m Not. Strength is measured in endurance and intention.

My intention for the next 30 years of life is to continue to work on myself, my recovery (which is lifelong), to love life, and to share my successes as I go.

The success of life that I gained in these 30 years is greater than I ever intended. I married my best friend, blessed with two children who are my pride and joy, and supported by the family around us.

To have the intent is one thing, but to have perseverance is another. God has blessed me with the perseverance that I needed to succeed, and to find the job I needed to afford my life’s goals.

I will continue to work on myself, so if hardships should appear, I will manage life on life’s terms. -Live Your Best Life-
