Living with Intention: My Path to Becoming Maverick

Welcome back to "Becoming Maverick," a blog where I unpack my personal journey through life, sharing the lessons I've learned and the challenges I've overcome. It's a story of resilience, courage, and growth, inspired by the origin of the word "Maverick."


The term "Maverick" originated from the name of a Texas rancher, Samuel Maverick, who was known for his independent spirit and refusal to brand his cattle. He allowed his cattle to roam freely and unbranded, which went against the common practice of the time. Samuel Maverick's non-conformity and individuality led to the term "Maverick" being used to describe someone who is independent, unconventional, and unafraid to challenge the status quo.

In this blog, I share some personal experiences, insights, and reflections as I've embraced my own Maverick mindset and navigated through life's challenges and opportunities. I'll be candid about the lessons I've learned, the mistakes I've made, and the wisdom I've gained along the way. My aim is to give hope and inspiration to those who may be facing their own challenges or seeking guidance on their own journey towards success.


Through my journey, I've come to realize that Becoming Maverick is about more than just being independent and unconventional. It's also about giving purpose and meaning to life. As Earl Nightingale once said, "A life without purpose is like a ship without a guidance system." So many people simply let life happen to them, without actively pursuing their passions, dreams, and goals. But being a Maverick is about living life with intention, purpose, and direction.

In this blog, I also explore how finding purpose and meaning in life has been a driving force behind my journey of Becoming Maverick. I share some of my passions, setting clear goals, and aligning my actions with my values have given my life direction and helped me navigate through challenges and setbacks. I will also discuss how embracing change, taking risks, and learning from failures have been essential in my pursuit of purposeful living.


To all the regular readers, thank you for your continued support and engagement. Your encouragement and feedback have been invaluable on this journey of Becoming Maverick. I hope our diverse perspectives and insights will inspired you and provided you with encouragement and motivation.


For those who are new to the blog, welcome! I encourage you to return and join us on this journey of self-discovery, growth, and purposeful living. As John C. Maxwell once said, "You don't have to be intentional to exist, but you do have to be intentional to live." If you resonate with our message of embracing challenges, living with intention, and finding meaning in life, I invite you to share this blog with anyone who could benefit from diverse perspectives or needs some encouragement on their own journey.


Together, let's continue to explore the joys and challenges of life, uncover the power of purpose, and embrace the Maverick mindset. Thank you for being a part of our community, and I look forward to sharing more insights and lessons with you in the future.

 Please feel free to leave comment, I would appreciate your perspective.


With gratitude,

Steven WAYNE Nicholls

The Genesis Moment

Th e Genesis Moment: Forming Order During Chaos Genesis means “beginning,” teaching us to create order from chaos. Instead of fearing disorder, we can establish structure, embrace responsibility, and build a foundation for growth. Becoming Maverick means transforming through challenges and stepping into stewardship over your life. Let's apply the Genesis Mindset today. Genesis—it means "beginning." I often find myself returning to the first few chapters of Genesis , especially when life feels out of control and chaotic or when I'm facing things I don’t fully understand. There’s something about these opening words of the Bible that carries profound wisdom—wisdom we often overlook. Becoming Maverick is about stepping back, recognizing the principles that govern life, and applying them with intention. Too often, we get caught up in religious or scientific debates about Genesis and miss the principles it offers for how life on earth actually works. But if we take a st...
