Hello from a random stranger on the internet! I loved the intention you shared - so much meaningfulness captured in your words, thank you! I wrote it down in my journal to inspire my own intention-setting process.
I am finding your ideas very much aligned with how I'm feeling during a transition period in life (into an empty nester) and appreciate the clarity with which you present your ideas in these videos. I've been reading your book repeatedly since it was published, always finding something new. This is an exciting journey---thank you! Oh, and my intention is to be guided by compassion more than attention, if that makes sense. 😉
Such a helpful perspective! I love the focus on goal-setting as experiments to help us support our bigger intentions. Thanks for the goodness you put in the world!
This is one of the best summaries and explanations I’ve ever listened to. Truly inspirational, especially for those of us who are constantly looking at self-improvement and feeling like we’re going round in circles sometimes. I LOVE listening to videos Ryder, thank you 🙏
These messages are processing inside of me at the moment. I start a bullet journal for the x-time. I always wanted it to look pretty and nice and it never felt perfect enough. Now I will start with setting an intention and see how things develop. I will go with the flow. Thank you Ryder! 🥰
This is the most useful and powerful video I watched in month of June. So so useful thank you brother keep your light shining you are truly a Lighthouse❤
As I listened I felt you embody what you are teachng. I realized art has allowed me to get in touch with the flow . I loved your line our goal must support our greater intention. While I teach art and want to get better at delivering it to my clients my greater intention is to ignite in my beloveds a passion for art that allows them to feel fully alive.
This is so helpful. Every time I was asked to set an intention, I would panic slightly. I get it now. It's a "be" statement. I'm adopting "I commit to this process" as my default intention. I'm excited to work on this more.
Just one intention for 2025 and, at the same time, for the start of my BuJo practice: to be a good full-time psychologist and to be able to leave the consulting practice in corporate finance, which is my first professional career. Thank you, Ryder, for all the knowledge you share with us; and for the material and conceptual tools you have designed to support us in the pursuit of personal and organizational success, without neglecting our well-being. 👍👍👍
I’m curious for those of you who practice bullet journaling - how do you go through goal (hypothesis) setting and plan development and tracking in your journal? I’m guessing this is something best managed as a collection, but not having done it myself yet, I’d love to learn what others are doing. Thanks! 😃
I want my BuJo practice to help me bring a sense of control and focus on my priorities. I am sometimes over-ambitious; no, I am over-ambitious in my thoughts, but I do not achieve them all, which irritates me. I am trying to tell myself I can do it and not just say things. I am more of a doer.
Goals are experiments to see if they fulfil my intentions. My intentions are who I want to BE. From now on, I will write down my goals in this format: Will doing/having/reaching X help me be Y? This is my take-home points from your video. Thank you for your insight, Ryder.
Personally, my intention was to use self-reflection to gain self-awareness, and in self-awareness, gain more personal growth. Sometimes I can write for hours without prompt, but some days, I'm stuck without ideas of what to write.

I have been wondering what a resolution vs goal vs intention would look like for the same topic. Wondering if anyone else would find it helpful to see a. Example or two written down. I’m just a very visual person 😅
I can try. Resolution: Having more followers on my professional insta account Goal: 2k followers until July Intention: I believe in my product, it would make people's life more mindful Plan: Let's experiment by posting one video per week. Do you see the difference?
WOW! THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WHEN MY ESSENTIAL SELF FEELS THAT THAT SO ELUSIVE LIGHT IS NOW NOT ONLY SEEN AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL, BUT IT LIGHTS THE ENTIRE PATH, WHICH ALLOWS ME TO SEE THE PATH I FOLLOW BETTER. THE WAY IN WHICH YOU HAVE SAID THE MESSAGE IS PERHAPS THE WAY THAT IN SOME WAY GAVE ME THE MEANING TO ESTABLISH MY NAVIGATION COURSE AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE ADVANTAGES THAT THE PATH TOWARDS MY GOAL HAS IN PLACE. THANK YOU, IT'S LIKE A SECOND WIND.👍
This is my fourth video on intention... and no one gives examples. What words are spoken? "My intention is to manifest ( )"? "I have the intention to have a big house"? THat would be goal, future. "I am now living in a big house" (even though I'm not)? I know I'm lying. What good is that? FYI-- "big house" is NOT something I want, just an example.
We'll add this to a list of possible video ideas, but perhaps this article can also offer another perspective and examples: bulletjournal.com/blogs/bulletjournalist/resolutions_vs_intentions
From my understanding, intentions r bigger, "I have an intention to live in a place that brings me joy/make me comfortable" Then u set a goal to reach that, by asking what goal will be a good step towards the intention. It can even show u that may be what u need to be comfortable in ur place is not a big house with more space, maybe decluttering and minimalism will clear that space for u, or whatever Buying a house is not an intention,it's a goal. The intention is WHY u want the big house?! And it can be different for everyone, a father may not care about a big house but he knows that his kids and wife care, so he wanna do it to make THEM happy cuz that's what he wants thats his intention
This comment jumped out at me in a sea of likeminded comments supporting Ryder’s message, so I’m very curious if you could say more about your comment?

This was like meditation doing Bullet journaliing which is great! Lots to think about it!

I really appreciate these little pearls of wisdom. It really resonates with me.
I appreciate how clear and concise this video was. You are quite philosophical.

I just started a new journal and had paused filling out intentions. Great timing!!

Excellent video! Thank you for clearing the definitions out! Not so obvious as it seems!
Well taught and makes wonderful sense once understood and then applied - I look forward to marinating in this a bit more and give it a go. Thank you.
If they ever make a movie about me, I want Ryder to narrate it.
Thank you! Your explanations of concepts and of the relationships between concepts is insightful!
Your videos are amazing, thank you so much
My intention is to regain my mental health, and get back to having a life. Not sure how to journal that one, but I am willing to give it a go.
Great. Thanks!
So insightful!!! And so life changing! Thank you so much!!! ☺💕
I’m curious for those of you who practice bullet journaling - how do you go through goal (hypothesis) setting and plan development and tracking in your journal? I’m guessing this is something best managed as a collection, but not having done it myself yet, I’d love to learn what others are doing. Thanks! 😃
Deal with inaction that has accumulated from a need for deeper understanding, thankyou!
Thanks...great food for thought.
Great stuff Ryder! You are truly my Yoda!

This was a great video! Thank you :)
Eleqouenty said. This resonated with me. I was having trouble writing my goals (I was writing my intentions and didnt realise it). ❤
Love this ♥️♥️♥️
It is really helpful. Thanks a lot. 👏
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! ❤️

Thanks rai😁 you're a good man🥰
I have been wondering what a resolution vs goal vs intention would look like for the same topic. Wondering if anyone else would find it helpful to see a. Example or two written down. I’m just a very visual person 😅
However- I love the philosophy behind setting intentions and why goals feel so unsatisfying
same, I need to see some example to fully grasp it...
I can try.
Resolution: Having more followers on my professional insta account
Goal: 2k followers until July
Intention: I believe in my product, it would make people's life more mindful
Plan: Let's experiment by posting one video per week.
Do you see the difference?
Goal as hypothesis, tested by achievement of the goal
❤amazing!
❤❤❤
Use all my Liberty Savard books....
🙏🏻❤

Very American way of thinking

boss
I have a post intentional view of man's psychology so this doesn't make any sense to me.
