Intentions
When you think about your day and what you need to do, what
are your intentions? Do you have goals? When you do the things you need to do
are you intentionally doing them to achieve your goals? Many people who have
won the lottery have said that when they bought their ticket, they bought with
the intention of winning—multiple times! People who have succeeded had a vision
of what they would achieve and even in some cases—when! Each golf swing, each
lap in the pool, and each call had intention.

Others Intentions
When you think about it the majority of our disagreements in
life have to do with conflicting intentions. We may be at odds with other
people’s intentions. So do we need to give up on our own intentions to keep the
peace…NO! We do need to understand the other person’s intentions and hopefully
they will want to understand ours. Sometimes both intentions can occur at the
same time and there really is no threat, even though at first there was a perceived
threat. Sometimes you have to take turns and then of course there is the
dreaded compromise. I really am not a fan of the compromise, I do ironically
feel that letting someone else’s intentions be just as important as our own as
way to make peace. It is not giving up, it is not compromising…it is saying that
what the other person wants is just as important as what you want.

Daily Intentions
Every day we have to look to our own intentions and see why
are doing what we do. Sometimes days go by and we have no idea why we are doing
what we are doing, watching what we watch, or talking to whom we talk with. When
you are preparing to do anything, pause for just a second, and say, “What is my
intention?” “What would be my best outcome?” “Please make that happen!”
