Katy Perry met Orlando Bloom after writing exactly what she wanted

But before seeing “what’s out there in the world” and attending the 2016 Golden Globes, she decided to set her sights.

“I’m going to set so many intentions this full moon, I’m going to write down exactly what I want, I’m going to wear a rose quartz dress to chase the love I want,” she said.

She wrote down two specific requirements: someone who could meet her in the “adventure department”—”because I like adventure,” she said—and who was as “spiritually curious” as she was, she recalled.

Perry ended up meeting Orlando Bloom at the Golden Globes after party in 2016. The two got engaged on Valentine’s Day in 2019 and announced the birth of their baby, 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 Lowe.

And about his spiritual curiosity, Perry said she simply learned about it after spending time with him. “You know, there’s no hiding. It’s a 7-day-a-week relationship, not just a Friday-Saturday-Sunday relationship — those are easy,” she said.

Having a child together also revealed new challenges. “Life is not peach jelly beans,” Perry said, adding, “I see who he is in those challenging moments and that’s why I chose him.”

Setting intentions for success

Perry isn’t the only celebrity to set her sights on success.

In 2019, Oprah Winfrey said she sets an intention before every show. “Whatever you end up with is what you set out to be,” she said while speaking at a Qualtrics user conference in Salt Lake City. “Receiving this directory changed the trajectory of my entire life.”

The award-winning talk show host has continued to set an intention 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 imagine,” she said.

In the corporate world, being purposeful can also help your career.

“It’s important to set goals because if you don’t, it’s like trying to get somewhere without putting directions into a GPS,” career coach Chelsea Stokes previously told Business Insider.

But there’s no point in setting goals just because you think you should or because you’re comparing yourself to someone else, she said. Stokes emphasizes the importance of setting goals with intention and thinking about how they will change your life and the impact they might have on the people around you.

“Not only can this help you set more specific goals, but it will also help keep you motivated throughout the year,” she said.

A representative for Perry did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider sent outside regular business hours.
