Energy Follows Intention

I participated in an incredible women’s circle this week that recharged and reignited my energy, focus, and commitment about how I want to live my life and pursue my career.

I learned that energy follows intention, and we must be clear about how we show up in the world and how we give and receive. Our actions and our words are impactful and it’s an important reminder that we always have a choice about how we show up.

As we approach the new year, I am channeling my energy to focus on designing my life and my career, so it honors my values and my intentions. This clarity has released the energy and the momentum I need to put this into practice.

My work with Impact Eleven has been transformative as I bring my speaking business to a new level of engagement and influence. My coaches talk about “putting in the work” and it reminds me of Malcolm Gladwell’s 10,000 hours concept. All great achievements take time, mastery, and work. There are no quick fixes.

As a recovering control freak, I am also learning to surrender control, trust myself, and celebrate the power that this unleashed. For strength, bravery, courage and success don’t come from control – they come from a place of dedication and trust. That is powerful.

Take the time to reflect on what you really want and then put in the time and do the work. The energy will indeed follow your intention and give you momentum to put your goals into action.

On the humble brag front – my refreshed website is now live https://carolinedowdhiggins.com/ . This is part of my journey to design my career destiny, so it doesn’t happen by default.

What is your intention?
