Act With Intention

Intention is defined as “a thing intended; an aim or plan.”

We all know having a plan is extremely important for attaining success, and having a plan requires you to act with intention.

Being spontaneous– that being the opposite of acting with intention– is romanticized by society.

We’re shown in movies how sometimes when people just randomly do stuff they find love, happiness, and success.

This is hardly ever the case though.

Having an aim and acting with intention is how those things are actually attained.

For example, I met my wife in graduate school. It wasn’t random that we met. We were both in school to get a degree; that was our aim.

Many people seem to think that they’re living in a movie. Good stuff will just happen to them.

Then they get disappointed when it doesn’t.

Newsflash though: reality isn’t romantic.

It requires, WORK, SACRIFICE, and INTENTION.

When you act with intention, that is, knowing why you’re doing what you’re doing, the world becomes more clear,

You become more driven,

And opportunities will start coming your way.

Acting with intention also applies to style.

Knowing why you’re wearing whatever you’re wearing is extremely important especially if you’re trying to convey a particular image.

People who don’t seem to have a reason for wearing something or acting a particular way are usually seen as immature and unsure.

Whereas, on the other hand, people who act and dress with intention are respected and even admired.

Intention isn’t actually that common of a word and it can be easy to overlook it,

But by doing so, you’re putting yourself at a severe disadvantage.

I understand the appeal of randomness, of things just working for you.

Meeting the love of your life.

Becoming wealthy without working for it.

Encountering some guy who sets you off on a fantastical journey.

I get it.

But such things are typically topics of fiction.

Instead, forget the movies and start figuring out what your intentions are.

Only then will your whole world CHANGE for the better!

Look Good, Feel Great!

Look Good, Feel Great!: Looking good is a huge part of style, and it’s the most obvious part, in my opinion. Most of the time, people start dressing-up because they want to convey a message to those around them. But there’s a second, much more important aspect of style and personal image. That being how style makes a person FEEL When you look good, you feel great! And even more than that, your feelings will radiate out onto other people who will be drawn to you. Style to me has always been about feeling my best; in fact, style was a significant part of me overcoming my body image issues. I was never really one to seek compliments or enjoy flattery– even though that stuff obviously comes with looking your best– rather what mattered to me was how style literally changed the way I felt. I remember putting on my first suit and feeling the most empowered I have ever felt. Not only that, but I noticed pretty quickly how everywhere I went I was treated differently. People started ...

Art can be incredibly motivating and being around art can have an immensely empowering effect on us. It’s a similar effect to one experienced while being surrounded by religious relics or statues– art can make us feel invigorated and influenced by something greater than ourselves. It’s almost like experiencing what John Keats called the Sublime in a more easily accessible way. According to Romanticist writers like Keats, the Sublime is defined as a meeting of the subjective-internal and objective-external, and is the strongest emotion we as Humans can experience. It typically requires us to put ourselves in awe-inspiring situations like seeing the sunrise from the peak of a mountain or looking up at a statue that towers over us. Instead of climbing a mountain or finding a huge statue though, with art we only need to go to a museum or into our living room, if we’re collectors. There are many different types of art and genres, all of which can have a powerful effe...
