What if a simple shift in your daily choices could lead to a life of lasting significance? Join Denise Russo and Sam Powell as they unpack John Maxwell's "Intentional Living," a game-changing book that wraps up our 2024 reading list. Drawing from our recent retreat, "Your Signature Story," we explore how conscious awareness of one's passions, potential, and purpose can ignite profound life changes. We outline Maxwell's four-step formula for making a difference and emphasize the importance of taking intentional actions to shape your future.

We redefine significance, inspired by a grandmother's sage advice—"just do what your hands find to do." This episode is a deep dive into simple but powerful intentional actions, illustrating how they can create a meaningful impact in our daily lives. Maxwell’s touching anecdote about receiving a blank book titled "The Greatest Story Ever Told" serves as a powerful reminder of the opportunity we all have to fill our lives with acts of kindness and purpose. Denise and Sam urge listeners to become the authors of their own significant stories, not by drifting through life, but by living with intention.

Lastly, we focus on transforming your life through deliberate choices. With everyone having the same 24 hours in a day, it's crucial to use that time wisely. We share insights from Maxwell's book, including essential questions to help you identify your unique skills, passions, and resources. We emphasize that good intentions alone are not enough; they must be coupled with actionable steps to achieve meaningful outcomes. Join us as we embark on this journey towards crafting a life of happy significance, aligning your passions, skills, and connections to make a lasting difference.
