Introduction

As a new dad, I am enjoying the ride of parenting two beautiful daughters (a toddler and a 2-month-old baby). Being a father has been both challenging and rewarding. I have learned that being intentional is the key to achieving goals. In my journey, I will share my experience and hopefully motivate those who visit my website to be intentional with their lives. Yes, some days will be challenging! I will post past experiences from being a club dj, fighting cancer, learning jiu jitsu, newspaper boy (my first job), 3 day solo backpacking (my first), manifesting my relationship with my wife and interesting life hurdles and accomplishments. I love technology, the outdoors, healthy living, and sharing information on ideas, products, gadgets, tips, opinions, etc.


Encountering Daily Challenges and Daily Grind

My path and focus to being an intentional person starts with accepting daily challenges and daily grinds. This means that I must face fears head-on and accept the fact that life is not always easy. It never will be, that’s the key to growth! But, I also don’t dwell on being upset, sad, depressed If I can control it. Why, I realize that there is no value to keep those thoughts embedded in me everyday. I must find the courage to take risks and push past limitations in my life as long as it makes sense. Again, life is frustrating and hard! But I remain steadfast in determination to make progress regardless of hurdles that come my way. To others reading this, the more we practice this, the more mindful we become about how we live each day.

Recognizing Life Discoveries

As I go through life's experiences, it is important to remember that each experience provides something new. Learning from these discoveries has helped me reach and focus my potential as well as encourage personal growth and development. Because I am discovering new ways of thinking, feeling, or doing things, I am gaining insight into myself which leads closer to finding that meaning in life. Finding meaning within is one of the goals of becoming intentional; it gives me purpose while pushing forward toward great achievements big or small!


Knowing the fire that lights you

What lights a fire in me? Many things light a fire in me – my family motivates me immensely but also my journey of continuing self-development pushes me further every day. Everyone needs motivation when striving for greatness; without it, it’s easy to give up or become complacent or bored with where you are in life right now. That’s why I am so determined to seek out ways to motivate myself! Whether it’s reading books, writing, exercising, cooking, exploring, building, creating, or watching motivational videos – whatever works for me – I’ll keep pushing forward!


Final thoughts

My blogs are here for those who want inspiration from someone who is experiencing firsthand what it takes to be an intentional while creating meaningful moments along the way. My goal is simple—to help others (men or women) develop their awareness, perspective, and understanding while providing useful suggestions, thoughts, ideas and personal opinions on how we can live each day purposefully! Good luck on your journey toward becoming an intentional person; let’s all make strides together and make the most of this one life we have!
