CHAPTER 1Introduction

“Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”

—Ralph Waldo Emerson

Why Intention?

We're stuck. Stuck to the couch. Stuck scrolling. Stuck at work. Stuck in worn-out paths of habitual action. Stuck in patterns and echo chambers of thought. Stuck in carefully curated lives where we've traded our agency for endless comforts that wrap us in existential ennui.

As our eyes fixate on a constant parade of images meant to engage us, we notice something in the periphery. We see folks who are just like us, except they seem to be deeply happy and fulfilled. They go through life with ease and grace, overcoming obstacles and making amazing things happen for themselves.

Peering closer, we see that they aren't gods or superhumans. They're just people who have chosen to not be stuck and decided to become the “main characters” in their own lives. Their success (as they define it!) is not a birthright bestowed upon a lucky few, but the result of lives lived with intention.
