Intentions, are controllable expectations of oneself

Intentions
purpose: an anticipated outcome that is intended or that guides your planned actions

If we first start to look at the above definition after realizing how great of a word "purpose" is in itself, i stop at the word Anticipated which is simply defined as expected hopefully. When we expect hopefully out of a planned situation we are setting ourselves up for an enjoyable experience that we have prepared out of diligence. conscientiousness in paying proper attention to a task; giving the degree of care required in a given situation


Now that we have gotten the normal formalities out of the way for how i like to start blogs in this series (defining and splitting off in multiple directions all at once) lets start to look at the original word at hand.

Intentions, are controllable expectations of oneself. In another blog (that i have only started taking notes for) i go over expectations. HERE
Looking back at these "notes" i notice that it was the word expectation that started this very in depth blog. I stated in those notes "Expectations should derive from the truth in history" Intentions should be the standard in which we hold ourselves up to in order to create a certain level of expectation from those around us so that they don't have to assume. TALKED ABOUT HERE

Combining all of the thoughts mentioned above seem to have brought my fast busy mind to more of a rest. Knowing that intentions are the defiant base for all future expectations that one may judge you buy helps me realize just how careful you must be with the assumptions you lay out in front of you for people. It would however be healthier to discus your intentions in the first place rather than go over what your intentions were after the act. When you come to a mature enough state to express the intentions of both your actions and emotions you start to free yourself from your own thought process inviting those around you to know a great deal more about you, how you work, how good your word is, and what they can expect out of you for the future.
