A Stoic Guide To Intentional Living
Congratulations on taking the first step toward transforming your life! By starting with Enough to Base a Movie On: A Stoic Guide to Intentional Living, you have already set the intention to create a more meaningful and fulfilling existence, rooted in clarity, purpose, and balance.
I started this series intentionally, as one does with the nature of the topic, to capture a method of communicating the effectiveness of Stoic Principles, combined by life coaching techniques to create a life of purpose and fulfillment. The drive for this came amid chaos, as I was transitioning from a career in IT and corporate demand to a life of a farmer and eco-village builder, aiming to achieve peace and harmony, and time spent on that which I have neglected for far too long; Love, Family, and Health.
In today’s world, where distractions are abundant and the pressures of daily life can overwhelm us, it is easy to lose sight of what truly matters. You may feel that life is just happening to you, rather than something you can actively shape and direct; This was what was happening to me, and the fallout was dramatic. This blog will help you, as it has me, in writing it, in discovering the power to live with purpose, guiding you to set your intentions clearly and live in alignment with your core values.
This blog series aims to address a common problem: many of us live without a clear sense of direction, often feeling disconnected from our deeper selves and our goals. Whether you feel lost, stuck, or simply searching for a better way to navigate life, Enough to Base a Movie On is your step-by-step guide to building a meaningful life with intention, focus, and purpose.
Throughout this blog series, I’ll share and uncover practical strategies for setting clear intentions, aligning your actions with your core values, and cultivating habits that support intentional living. Drawing on Stoic wisdom, you’ll explore how to remain resilient in the face of life’s challenges and maintain peace of mind no matter what the world throws your way.
As the LizzardKing, I have spent years embracing and living out the principles that shaped this blog, and when almost on the brink of disaster, decided to set these in motion again. In founding TerraLuna, an eco-community built on Stoic values and sustainability, I learned again how important it is to create a life centered on intention. This journey taught me that it is possible to live by design, to flourish despite obstacles, and to achieve personal freedom by mastering your mindset.
This series will offer you the tools to do just that. It will guide you to:
- Identify your core values and align your daily actions
- Build habits that support your intentional living journey
- Set clear, achievable goals rooted in your true desires
- Develop resilience to face life’s challenges with strength and clarity
- Create a daily routine that fosters mindfulness and purpose
Many have already experienced the life-changing effects of intentional living. The success experienced in my business life, life coaching, and the ongoing development of an intentional community pays testimony to this. The individuals and businesses who have benefited from my goal-orientated practices compelled me to share this with a broader audience.
Now, it’s your turn to act. Dive into and follow this series and explore the strategies that will help you reshape your life into one of meaning and intentionality. Let this journey be the beginning of a story worth telling – a story where you are the hero, shaping your destiny, aligned with your true values. Read on and take the first step toward living a life of purpose, clarity, and fulfillment.
Your new intentional life begins now!
Amor Fati
