Jewel Talk 15

Everything we do in life has an expectation. From the prestigious education to the charitable donation, there is an expectation. Otherwise, life loses its purpose and is reduced to mere existence.

The true question hinges on what is your expectation?

In the business world, corporations are driven by a return on investment, or ROI. The return implies an exchange or reciprocation. If a service is provided, in exchange funds will be returned to the business. The investment defines the initial contribution that set the stage for the exchange. In theory, the investment was made, with an expectation of profits in return.

What is your expectation?

If we imported this business philosophy into our everyday walk, our experiences would be more profitable. We wouldn’t jump in and out of relationships. We wouldn’t engage in self-destructive behaviors. If there was an expectation, or demand, on every aspect of our lives, we would produce sustainable outcomes.

Many of us are not living intentionally.

To live intentionally puts a demand on your expectation. Your life will follow the direction of your gaze. If you are lacking expectation, you will remain in a downtrodden posture, unable to look up. Life with expectation is constantly in search of that return on investment. It’s called intentional living.

You were created for a purpose. That purpose can only be fulfilled when you begin to live intentionally.
