Many people confused intention with goals and aspirations. An intention is something that you intend to do, which means, you want to do it. It is much bigger than a goal, for a goal is a target that you set.
A goal is more specific, whereas an intention is more general, but it is an indication of where to want to go. For example, I intend to go to China for tour, but this is not a goal for a goal will have more specifics including when, where and how.
You must set an intention first before you can set a goal. Many times our goal is not a goal but just a wish or fantasy. An intention is not a wish, for it is something that you want to do, deep from your heart.
At the end of the day, your intention must be pure and good. Pure means your intention cannot be mixed with other things, like what you want in return.
For example, you want to treat your customers well, that is a pure intention, for you have no other goal or expectations other than wanting to treat the customers well. Often goals are stated in the form of return, like I want to treat my customers well so that we have repeat business.
In doing anything, if your intention is pure, results will flow to you naturally. But on the other hand, when your intentions are not pure, you will find it hard to achieve your results. This is because your intention is not pure, you want to get something in return. In the end, you will end up achieving little because your intention is never pure and your customer can detect that easily.
In summary, the power of intention and your intention must be pure.
