I have been thinking a lot lately about what it takes to be an intentional human. What is the foundation of clear intention? I believe that the answer lies in our humanity. Without the attributes of our humanity intention often morphs into goal setting without consideration of outcomes. This blatant action may get results that are aligned with our goals and yet at what cost? This is willful intent as it does not come from an inclusiveness that asks, "How will this affect?" Being willing to ask how one's action may serve is a fundamental practice. It really involves bringing a level of awareness to each action. Since it is a lot easier to operate with a kind of target lock in regard to goal setting, it may feel a little uncomfortable to add in this extra step. The cool part is that it gets easier with practice and will likely lead to some pretty satisfying outcomes.
