Introduction
Welcome to this talk about a concept that quietly shapes lives but is often misunderstood: Intention. If you’ve ever felt stuck between what you want and what you actually do, you’re not alone. This is for the dreamers who are ready to take that next, meaningful step.
What is Intention?
We often hear the word “desire.” We want things. We wish. We dream. But here’s the truth:
- Desire is passive.
- Intention is active.
Desire imagines a future. Intention builds it.
Imagine staring at a photo of a dream vacation. That’s desire.
Now imagine buying the ticket and packing your bags. That’s intention.
Intention is the moment you shift from “I wish” to “I will.” It’s the force that transforms a dream into a goal.
Why Intention Matters
Dreams without intention are like castles in the air — pretty, but unreachable. When you choose your goal and find the door meant for you, you activate intention. Without this alignment, your actions are scattered, and your dreams remain fantasies.
So, what blocks intention?
The Pitfalls: Why Most People Struggle
- Excessive Importance – When your goal becomes too precious, you start doubting, fearing failure, and freezing in place.
- Over-Control – We’re taught to fight, hustle, grind. But too much effort blocks flow. Intention isn’t about pressure; it’s about direction.
- Obsessive Focus on Outcome – Constantly measuring success creates resistance. Think of intention like planting a seed: if you keep digging it up to check if it’s growing, it won’t.
How to Practice Intention
- Clarify your goal (your destination).
- Find your door (the path that excites your heart).
- Let go of importance (no desperation, no obsession).
- Use your target slide: a vivid mental image of your life after the goal is reached.
- Take calm, consistent steps — no hustle, just movement.
Metaphor: Go after your dream like you’re picking up mail from the letterbox. You don’t panic. You don’t obsess. You just go.
Inner vs. Outer Intention
- Inner Intention: “I will make it happen.”
- Outer Intention: “It’s already happening.”
One is forceful. The other is fluid. The latter works better when you’re aligned with your true path.
Handling Doubts and Failures
You don’t need to convince yourself everything will work. Your job is not to predict every step. It’s to move forward anyway.
- Feel resistance? Check your comfort zone.
- Feel anxious? You might be clinging too tightly.
- Face failure? It’s feedback — not a dead end.
Conclusion: Intention is Quiet Confidence
When intention is pure — free of desperation, anxiety, or inflated importance — it becomes a powerful ally. You begin to notice the path opening up, opportunities aligning, people helping, and results arriving.
So ask yourself:
- Have I decided?
- Have I found my door?
- Am I calmly taking the next step?
Because when you have true intention, you’re not trying anymore — you’re becoming.
And that, my friend, is how dreams become your reality.
Thank you.
