Live Your Life With Intent – Ep. 11 (Ft. Sergio Loaiza)

2020-09-25T18:14:09+00:00

“WE EITHER LIVE WITH INTENTION OR EXIST BY DEFAULT.” - Kristin Armstrong Ask yourself this question… Are you living with intent? Is your current situation in life by design or is it by default? Be careful when trying to decide between the difference here. Often times we fall into a routine that is laid out before us and call it intent. I intended to go to school, get good grades, get my degree and get a good job. That may have been your intention while going through the process. However, was the inception of the idea your own? As men, we [...]

Standards are everything… They’re your bottom line, your values and the things you set your intentions on. The level at which you keep your standards is the level at which you will enjoy life… Period. If you settle or accept anything less than mediocre, guess what you get? A life that’s less than mediocre. However, if you were able to raise your standards well above mediocre, what type of life would you hope to enjoy?
