The action
of making an intentional choice is a powerful exercise of
one's will in one direction or another. Intentional
choices are conscious, deliberate decisions. We may
intentionally choose to change a particular behavior, a habit, a way of being,
or even a course of
development that we recognize as being less than healthy or
truthful, or not aligned with God.
Often we move
through life being molded by environmental influences,
circumstance and general habit, without consideration of where
these forces are taking us. The ability to make intentional choices begins with
reflection, insight or understanding about these forces, and a
desire to choose more wisely.
When one
does this in the direction of God, it can bring one to live a life
with deep commitment. It can also lead one to begin measuring
oneself by internal standards rather than those of the
world or mass consciousness.
