I've come to realize that intentions can be great for excuse making. On rare occasions we are given to being intentional for the sake of making a difference in someone's life; however, in most instances we rally our mind around the fact that we intended to do something when in fact that was never the intention at all. Sure, intentions uttered-sound good...some, even promising. It is the delivery that is lacking. Why do we intend to (_________) or say after the fact that we intended to (____________)? Are we really that unaware when we say those phrases? I tend to think not. Anyone with the smallest amount of self-awareness realizes what they intend to do, say or think.
When met with the challenge of making life events happen I've come to realize that being consistent in our intentions and actions will give us the greatest satisfaction and will propel us past the complaining that so often plagues our speech. Consistency is not always a positive occurrence mind you. There are times when we as people can be consistently bad, wrong or negative. However, in this light I'm talking about being consistent in a positive way.
Consistency as it relates to living requires your ability to engage in three actions: recognize your mistakes, engage in being intentional and understand you reside as an individual in a constant state of learning be it obvious or not.
