Seven Intentions

Whatever you can do or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius and power and magic in it. Begin it now.Goethe

A Meditation:

In 1970, Tom and Kate Chappell started their toothpaste and mouthwash company with $5,000. Their goal: produce non-toxic soaps, deodorants and other personal care products without hurting or using animals [except beeswax]. Thirty-six years later, they sold 84% of Tomโ€™s of Maineย  for $100,000,000. In Managing Upside Down, Tom Chappell explained his seven intentions:

  • Connect to goodness
  • Find the special quality that you alone can gift the world
  • Match talent to something the world needs
  • Associate with those who care about you and what youโ€™re doing
  • Discover yourself through your creations
  • Allow change, adjust, improve
  • Share whatโ€™s been learned with younger generations

Good intentions can pave the road to … good things.
