talk Zane Lowe on Apple Music While talking about her latest album, “143,” the 39-year-old pop singer said she met her fiancé after “I was in a bad loop.”
“I thought I’d swim in a different pond, I’d try something different, I’d say yes to things that I normally wouldn’t say yes to,” the “Woman’s World” singer said.
But after watching “What in the World Has Changed” and before attending the 2016 Golden Globe Awards, she decided to set her intentions.
“I’m going to make a lot of resolutions on this full moon. I’m going to write out exactly what I want. I’m going to wear a rose quartz dress to go after the love I want,” she said.
She wrote down two specific requirements: someone who could meet her in the “adventure category” (“because I love adventure,” she said) and someone who shared her same “spiritual curiosity,” she recalled.
Perry eventually met Orlando Bloom at a Golden Globes after-party in 2016. The couple got engaged on Valentine’s Day in 2019 and announced the birth of their baby girl, Daisy Dove Bloom, in August 2020.
As it turned out, Bloom ticked both boxes: “I mean, we just jumped out of a helicopter together,” she told Rowe.
And as for his spiritual curiosity, Perry says she only discovered it after spending time with him: “You know, there’s no hiding it. It’s not just a Friday, Saturday, Sunday relationship, it’s a seven-day-a-week relationship. It’s that simple,” she says.
Having a child has also presented new challenges: “Life isn’t easy,” Perry said, adding, “The difficult moments show you who he is, and that’s why I chose him.”
Set Intentions for Success
Perry isn’t the only celebrity determined to succeed.
In 2019, Oprah Winfrey said she sets an intention before every show. “Whatever you end up with is what you start with as your intention,” she said at the Qualtrics User Conference in Salt Lake City. “Knowing that principle has changed the entire trajectory of my life.”
The award-winning talk show host continues to set intentions for everything she does, even if it’s just decorating a room. “It comes back to you 10-fold, 100-fold in ways you can’t even imagine,” she said.
In the corporate world, being intentional will also help your career.
“Setting goals is important because not doing so is like trying to get somewhere without having directions inputted into your GPS,” career coach Chelsea Stokes previously told Business Insider.
But there’s no point in setting goals simply because you think you should, or because you’re comparing yourself to others, she says. Stokes stresses the importance of setting goals with intention, and thinking about how they will change your life and how they will affect those around you.
“This not only helps you set more specific goals for yourself, but also helps you stay motivated throughout the year,” she said.
A representative for Perry did not immediately respond to Business Insider’s request for comment sent outside normal business hours.
