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 [...]
