Years ago I heard an adage about the word intentions and something to do with the road to Hades. For years since, I have repeated that phrase hundreds of time and just lately have come to realize that intentions do not pave this road to this evil place. Random thoughts are the true material for this road to Hades.
What changed my beliefs was the original meaning of the word intent which is to see. Would anyone knowingly see a path to the darkside?
When we truly see something, that is a direct action. We see the love behind the smile of our child. We see the handiwork of Mother Nature in the budding of the trees in the spring. We see our efforts through the goals that we have achieved.
One of my favorite musical scores is to the 1992 movie The Last of the Mohicans. The music is so intentional that you can literally see the action happening even without the benefit of the television or the wide movie screens.
So are you intentional or just full of random thoughts? Intentional people are those who visualize their dreams, achieve their goals and realize success because they can see the future outcomes from their current efforts. Their thoughts are not random, but very direct.
Intentional people can intimidate others who lack this ability to see. They are viewed as single minded to workaholics. When you cannot see, those who can see potentially frighten those who cannot.
Just think about your own life. When you had random thoughts, what results did you achieve? Probably, a few here or there. However, when you had intentional thoughts, did you have more or less results? Probably, a lot more.
If you live your life with intention, you will realize your dreams because you will see the future that you have envisioned for yourself.
