Drift Is the Default

from The Optimistic Outlook with John Eades · host John Eades

It doesn't take effort to drift. It happens naturally. During a family beach trip, I realized how easy it is to drift without noticing. Standing in the ocean for just a short time, the current quietly carried us far down the shoreline from where we started. Life works the same way. You don't drift into something great. You don't drift into a strong marriage, a promotion, or high performance. But people drift into the opposite all the time. Average. Complacency. Bad habits. In today's episode, I share why intention is the only way to counteract the natural drift of life. Key Lesson If you are not intentional, you will drift.
