FIND YOUR INTENTIONS

“BE INTENTIONAL.”

It has been nearly 2 weeks since I have constantly been haunted by that sentence. Needless to say, I’ve had random nights and mornings just wandering in thought about it.

I couldn’t actually trace back how it was triggered, but what I do know is there is a message to tell.

Intention (n.)  -An “aim” or “plan”

In our daily lives, how intentional are in the things that we do?

Just now, I realize that intention is similar to purpose. Many people say they are lost because they haven’t found their purpose and it is the most basic question that people often ask for example,

“What is the purpose of this?” “What is the reason for this?” “How do I understand?”

“Why am I doing this in the first place?”

If we haven’t noticed, questions that are mostly deeply rooted within a person is related to “intention.” And the necessity for it to be answered is so great that unanswered questions often put periods in their lives.(out of depression, anxiety, frustration etc.) 

I guess this is how significantly intentional we have to be in our personal dealings with ourselves and with others because at the end of the day, when everything is still, we will always be confronted with a big why.

We will always question our motives and will have to decide whether our actions come with a purpose: Think about having to run around an oval 100 times and out of exhaustion, you pause and pant and deeply thought, “luh, bakit 100 times? Bakit ako tumatakbo?”

Sometimes because we got so familiar with our daily lives and routines and because we are all bombarded with pressures and trends, we often forget that in the decisions we make, we should start out with an INTENTION that gives value to our principles and what we believe in. 

Heart-Mind Check:

Today, if you find your self at loss and tired, try to ask yourself whether there is a need to pause and back track what you had intended to accomplish in the first place, or figuring out what your primary intentions are.

God bless!
