Live with intent.
I am an actor, director, designer, social drinker, haphazard athlete, foodie, crappy dresser, and avid cook. My friends make fun of my mise en place when I invite them over for dinner. I have finished in last place in more than one race.
But I do try to live with intent. How will what I'm cooking, designing, doing, or saying affect those around me? How can I crystallize this flavor, emotion, scene, or message? How can I combine elements to make this experience more resonant?
To be fair, much of the time I'm just stumbling about saying, "Will you look at that?!" because the world is filled with wonderful colors and humans and sounds.
But other times I work hard to make things that touch people, often by bringing together teams of people who are way more talented than I am and coaxing them into revealing their secrets.
