Living with Intention: How to Create a Life That Responds to You

By Colleeno Chippy





“Write the vision and make it plain.” — Habakkuk 2:2


Living with intention means choosing the direction of your life instead of letting life choose for you. And if you’ve been following my journey, you already know that transformation begins with awareness — and then, alignment.


Intention is a declaration.

Intention is energy.

Intention is agreement with what God has already spoken over your life.


When you move with intention, you are saying:


“I trust where God is taking me — so I will show up like I believe it.”



Your Life Reflects What You Prioritize


When God gives you a dream, He expects you to nurture it — not just desire it.

• If you want peace, you build routines that support calm.

• If you want progress, you eliminate distractions.

• If you want growth, you feed your spirit daily.


As I’ve said in previous blogs — faith without movement is stillness.

Intentionality is where prayer meets action.



 Small Daily Habits Shape Your Destiny


Your life is the harvest of your choices.


Every intentional decision — even the quiet ones — becomes part of your future:

• Choosing gratitude

• Choosing rest

• Choosing discipline

• Choosing growth

• Choosing God’s voice over fear


You are sowing the seeds for the woman you are becoming.



 What You Focus On, Grows


If you focus on what’s missing — you attract more lack.

If you focus on what’s wrong — you feed frustration.

But when you focus on purpose — life responds with clarity.


Jesus said in Matthew 6:33:


Seek first the Kingdom of God… and all these things will be added unto you.


Your focus is your faith speaking.

Direct it wisely.



Living on Purpose, Not on Autopilot


Be present in your becoming.

Set boundaries that protect your peace.

Say yes with intention and no without guilt.


Live like your life has meaning — because it does.

God is leading you, even in the tiniest details.

Conclusion


Living with intention means deciding that your life must align with your calling — not your comfort.

It means showing up every day with purpose, even when progress feels slow.


You don’t need to have everything figured out.

Just make one intentional decision today… then another tomorrow…

and watch your life begin to respond to faith in motion. 



Affirmations


•  I choose to live with intention every single day.

• My actions align with the woman God created me to be.

• I move with purpose, and purpose responds to me.


Repeat these aloud — let your voice activate them.

The Illusion of Productivity: When Learning Becomes a Hiding Place

  The Illusion of Productivity: When Learning Becomes a Hiding Place By Colleeno Chippy In today’s world, productivity has become a badge of honor. We chase full schedules, long to-do lists, and endless multitasking as proof that we’re doing something meaningful. But here’s the truth — being busy doesn’t always mean being purposeful. Sometimes, productivity is just another form of procrastination. We study, we plan, we prepare — but deep down, we’re avoiding the real work that demands courage, vulnerability, or faith. When “Busy” Becomes a Distraction There’s a special kind of exhaustion that comes from doing everything except the one thing that would truly move your life forward. It feels safe to stay in constant motion. To learn more, research more, or organize more. Because if you’re “working on it,” then you don’t have to face the fear of actually doing it. But motion isn’t the same as progress. You can be moving every day and still standing in the same place spiritually...

The Difference Between Motion and Action: Why Progress Demands Movement

  The Difference Between Motion and Action: Why Progress Demands Movement By Colleeno Chippy There’s a subtle trap many of us fall into — one that feels productive but keeps us stuck. It’s the illusion of progress. We tell ourselves we’re “working on it,” “getting ready,” or “still planning.” But sometimes, what we call progress is really just motion — not action. Motion Feels Good, But It’s Not Always Growth Motion looks like researching, brainstorming, journaling, and talking about your goals. It’s reading books on healing without actually healing. It’s watching motivational videos without applying a single lesson. It feels like progress because you’re engaged — but it’s safe. There’s no risk in motion. Action, however, takes courage. Action means showing up, even when you don’t feel ready. It’s pressing “publish” on that post, applying for the job, writing the first page of your book, or booking that first client. Action transforms intention into impact. The Comfort of Mo...

The Weight of Self-Accountability

  The Weight of Self-Accountability By Colleeno Chippy Introduction It’s easy to point fingers when things don’t go as planned—blaming time, circumstances, or even other people. But true growth and greatness demand something far deeper: self-accountability. Holding yourself responsible is heavy, yes, but it is also the kind of weight that builds strength. Discipline and accountability go hand in hand. Without them, greatness remains out of reach. Why Excuses Keep Us Stuck Excuses are comforting because they relieve us of responsibility. But every excuse is also a chain, keeping us locked in the same cycle. When you stop making excuses and start owning your actions, you take back your power. Accountability may sting at first, but it is the doorway to transformation. The Strength in Owning Your Choices Self-accountability means being honest about your part—your decisions, your habits, your patterns. It’s not about self-blame but self-ownership. When you recognize your role in ...
