INTENTION

INTENTION

Every action or inaction of men is always driven by an intention. No one does anything for nothing, anyone who does, or is doing something is doing it for a reason, which can be declared or not. Good or evil, necessary or unnecessary the intention behind an action is the ultimate determinant of the outcome of that action.

Intentions are intangible and irrelevant if they are not backed by corresponding actions. The purest of intentions without the slightest of actions in the direction of that intention is a purely invalid and unproductive exercise. T.S. Eliot once said, "most of the evil in this world is done by people with good intentions", not because they did evil, but because they never acted on their intentions, thereby depriving the world of the good that could have been.

Give life to whatever intentions you have by acting on it, otherwise it never existed. Like Frank Sonnenberg said, "a good intention is like an idea that you keep to yourself. If you don’t do something with it, it’s like it never existed." 

Train, educate, and feed your mind to develop intentions that are pro-humanity, and tailored towards the growth and development of yourself, others, and the world. Intentions are like spirit, no one see them, actions are the body that give visibility, result, and effect to those intentions. Whatever you do, for yourself or others, be sure that your INTENTION does not make life difficult for another man.
