Confidence is a huge part of Personal Style. You’ve survived 100% of your worst days—think about that. 💡 There was a time I felt stuck, drowning in self-doubt and fear. But then I realized: ‘Every setback is a setup for a comeback.’ (Les Brown). I stopped running from pain and started learning from it. 🌱 Small wins—just 1% improvement daily—became my secret weapon. Suddenly, life shifted: abundance replaced scarcity, passion fueled purpose, and failure became my greatest teacher. Every moment became a source of fulfillment and joy as I found purpose and reason in all. 🚀 What if your challenges are just stepping stones to your best, most handsome, and confident self? The only way out is through. 🌟 Keep going—you’ve got this!" 💪✨

I’ve been thrifting regularly as part of my business, and I often stumble across designer brands in clothing. Lately, I find myself drawn to the suits section. However, I have to admit, my knowledge about suits is limited beyond a few well-known crossovers. Being part of this group has really opened my eyes to the importance of suit quality, and it’s made me realize that while I’ve been intrigued by quality suits for years, I’ve never fully explored them. Deep down, I’ve always had this aspiration to look sharp and dapper—something I hope to refine with inspiration and insights from all of you gentlemen here. That being said, I could really use your expertise! Could you share the one or few suits you would *dream* of finding? I’m planning to use your suggestions as a guide to educate myself, start building my own collection, and potentially even venture into reselling.

If you had to design an outfit around a wrist watch what kind of style would you go for? What kind of clothes would you get and from where? Please see the pictures and tell me. The watch is from a micro-brand (one man operation) in my hometown of Bergen in Norway called Forteller. The model is "The Engineer Diver".

In my pursuit of my own style I have found that self-discipline is an absolutely necessary character trait. Ever notice how emotions can feel like they own you—like they barge in, throw a tantrum, and refuse to leave? Here’s the deal though: emotions are actually just your body’s chemical reaction to a thought, and here's the magic part—they only chemically “live” for about 90 seconds. Yup, a minute and a half. After that, the only reason you're still spiraling, still stuck in anger, fear, or sadness, is because you keep feeding the thought that sparked the storm in the first place. So what if you just didn't? What if you let the feeling arise, acknowledged it, but didn’t add fuel to the fire? If you can stay grounded, present, or—let’s be real—just think about literally anything else for those crucial 90 seconds, the emotion will naturally dissolve on its own. Like a storm cloud passing across a clear blue sky, it doesn’t have the power to hang around unless you cling to it. It’s not always easy, sure, but mastering this can completely shift how you experience the emotions you don’t want weighing you down. That, my friend, is emotional alchemy. What thoughts does this spark for you?
