The Intent

Intent is an anticipated outcome that is foreseen or that guides your planned actions.

For every gift, gesture, act of kindness, communication, word of wisdom, actions..., there is always an intent behind it. The intent may be natural, pure, positive, genuine or suspicious, insincere, negative and exploitative. It depends on the person(s) or group of persons by whom these intents are being perpetuated.

Sometimes, some of us find ourselves involved or engaged in a particular activity without knowing why we did in the first place. But if you do an appraisal, you would discover that there was an impulse that prompted such actions(s), and if you search further, you would find an intent in it. Intents drive people into certain actions. It is therefore advisable to examine your intent before or when carrying out a particular act, so as not to give birth, room or promote the wrong motive.

The fact is that some have good intentions, while some others don't. And with the way good intentions are being misinterpreted this days, the good ones are even now reluctant to send out kind gestures so as not to be misunderstood.

Dear, no matter what you do, there are people that would still read some other meanings to it. But does it make you less or stop you from doing good? Not at all! Everybody cannot think the way you think or process certain information the way you would. So, at the end of the day, it is your intent that matters after all. The only difference is that we live in a world where a lot of events play out. Sometimes, it may be to your advantage, and some other times, you might not just be lucky. The best way to avoid being taken unawares or being hit by surprise, is to be sober and vigilant.

People don't appear to be the way they seem this days. Much as we can't chase them out of our lives, you need to be careful and diplomatic when dealing with them. You need certain relationships or alliances to get you through life. And you need wisdom to manage such alliances even when it is not convenient for you. An example is when you discovered that your account was credited and debited at the same time by your bank. At first, it is not convenient for you. But instead of getting all irrational, it is better to find out the intent of such act, as well as manage it effectively. That is if you only see credits(being credit conscious).

This one is for those who always embrace you when they sense money, and run away when it finishes. Please, revisit such intent and make the necessary adjustments. Respect is earned when one remains steadfast in want(lack), and in abundance. #Impulse#Intent#Negative#Debit#Positive#Credit.
