Good Morning! #motivationmonday: More often than we realize, the direction “Life” takes us is directly proportional to our disposition. If the disposition is that of excessive fear and self-defeat, chances are we won’t attain what we’ve been reaching for. If the disposition is that of perseverance and seeing the challenge through despite the setbacks, chances are we’ll see the light at the end of our personal journey. While we can’t dictate what lies ahead of us, we can dictate which of the two approaches we choose to take. Happy Monday!😊 . .

🇦🇺 The Sydney Opera House: Australia’s most famous and recognizable building. Opened in 1973, it stands out mostly because of its white, sail-shaped shells that are used as its roof structure. . . Its massive 2,679 seat Concert Hall hosts pop music acts, choir performances, and, of course, epic symphony concerts where patrons can listen to performances of pieces from composers such as Mozart and Beethoven (two such performances I was lucky enough to catch). Definitely a must-visit for anybody planning to travel to Sydney (whenever we’re all allowed to travel like we used to again! 😆). . .

Good Morning! #motivationmonday: The beauty of starting a new week is having an opportunity to build upon the small improvements we made during the previous one. These are good things to remind ourselves of whenever we feel that our momentum has stalled. Those small steps we take week after week will pay dividends down the road if we have the patience to see the process through. Be composed and stay consistent. You will get there. Happy Monday!😊 . .

🇮🇩 The Tangkuban Parahu volcano, one of the over 130 in Indonesia. Parahu has erupted over 30 times since the 19th century (thankfully not while I was on it...although that would have made for some great GoPro footage! 😅 🌋). . . .

Good Morning! #motivationmonday: It’s all too natural to feel stagnant, to feel as though you’re continuously running in circles - in spite of your best-laid plans. Just remember that all of the blood, sweat, and tears that went into your planning are playing out behind the scenes. The fruits of your planning may not be borne tomorrow, next month, or even next year, but if you followed all the right steps and planted the seeds where they needed to be, the results will eventually show themselves. Be patient, trust the process, and keep moving forward. Happy Monday!😊 . . Brown Clubhouse Sunglasses by: @rayban MTM 3-piece Prince of Wales Flannel Suit by: @paulstuartny . .

Good Morning! #motivationmonday: In a world that often craves instant gratification, it becomes too easy to get lost in how far we are from a goal instead of looking back to admire all the steps we’ve taken thus far. We shouldn’t succumb to those voices telling us to give up due to being a few months, or even years, from where we want to be. If we learn to appreciate how far we’ve come, the journey that is still in front of us, and the lessons it will bring, we’ll be in the best position when we finally arrive. Happy Monday!😊 . .

#sartorialsunday: Just thinking back to a pre-COVID, pre-Zoom world when I had a chance to meet with fellow menswear enthusiasts at the @carminashoemaker store in midtown Manhattan. What a great afternoon to talk about all things business, travel, culture, and, of course, sartorialism with friends both old and new. Let’s socialize in person - and after hours - again! 🥂 . .

Good Morning! #motivationmonday: Part of carving out a path that is both as clear as possible and authentic to us is to filter out the low-value noise around us, to not get bogged down by what folks tell us we can’t do, and to stop comparing ourselves to those around us as much. As competitive as this life can be at times, oftentimes it helps to recognize that what may work for the person walking next to us may not necessarily do for us. There is only one of each of us and if we try to spend more time those positive traits that are unique to us, not only will we get to where we’re going on our own time, we’ll be better positioned to stay there for the long haul.
