Stop Drifting Through Life: The Power of Intentional Living | Larry O’Nan

Are you intentionally building the life you want, or simply letting each day pass you by? In Episode 60 of The Influence Exchange, I sit down with Larry O’Nan, author of Intentional Living and Giving, to explore what it means to live with purpose, set meaningful goals and take responsibility for the direction of your life. At 82, Larry continues to approach each day with intention. Drawing on decades of leadership, mentoring and fundraising experience, he shares how daily discipline, written commitments and a willingness to help others have shaped his life. In this conversation, we explore: Why so many people drift through life without a clear purpose. How writing down your goals creates clarity and accountability. Larry's ten personal “I will” commitments. Building consistent habits and maintaining balance during stressful times. Finding direction after unexpected career changes and personal loss. Why understanding your strengths and seeking guidance can help you move forward. The principles behind Larry's book, Intentional Living and Giving. Larry also shares the deeply personal experience of losing his wife after 45 years of marriage and how he approached rebuilding his life with renewed commitments and purpose. Whether you're feeling stuck, reassessing your priorities or simply looking to make better use of each day, this conversation invites you to consider one important question: Are you living intentionally or just going through the motions?
