On this week's episode of Perspective Points, I go over the difference between being intentional and taking life too seriously. To me, being intentional is all about prioritizing your goals while still maintaining present in the everyday moments that surround you whereas taking life too seriously is centered around shutting out other important aspects of your life in order to focus on one thing. At the end of the day, as I always say, it's not that deep. We can still pursue our dreams and push ourselves to be the best versions of ourselves while acknowledging and appreciating every aspect of our lives.
