I have recently been pondering the inter-connection between intention and purpose. What helps you focus on who you are and who you desire to become?
There is a subtle difference between these similar words that speak of who we are meant to be in life. Intention is an act of mental determination upon some action or result. Purpose means an intended desire or effect, a reason for which something or whom someone exists.
Intention has to do with mindset or attitude toward embracing who you are, your mental determination. Purpose is your reason for being, doing, and living.
Attitude and Resoluteness
I also think of intention and purpose as both sides of the same hand, or both sides of the same brain, propelling your mind, will, and action toward that which you are meant to be and do in life. Intention and purpose are qualities that must be intimately connected because you need both of them to express your authenticity.
What energizes your being and doing in life?
I welcome your comments.
