Gusto ko mabright, madato… o
gusto ko magkugi, para mabright hasta madato?
There
are people who consume too much information and process them. They will then possess
a confidence based on the things that they know. Yet, one can wonder if the set
of knowledge in one’s head would be enough to see others differently.
Developing
one’s intelligence is a goal. There is nothing wrong about it. But what is the
deeper meaning of acquiring such? Which will bring us to the discourse of
INTENTIONS rather than goals.
Intentions
according to Tumblin (2022) are the reasons behind what you do (i.e. the
action). One’s actions naturally follow from one’s intentions.
But
isn’t this the same with motivation?
Intention
is what (the thing) you want to create and motivation is how you feel about what
you're going to do or create (Ruelle, 2016). Therefore, intentions are
deliberate while motivations are attached to feelings.
While
intentions are deep, there are those who stop doing the things they do since
their feelings changed. They become unmotivated. Those with strong
predisposition continue the task deliberately. They WILL to do it.
Which
goes back to query: What is your deliberate intent to consume information? Isn’t
this to process them and create an output for the greater good? If not, what?
Pure entertainment and self-consumption? Then, is your intention clear that you
need to be well-informed to be a better public servant or leader?
Still,
the reactive personalities will then retort: What is it to you? They will then
remind us to mind our own business.
There
are also those whose intentions are bad. That is the reason why our moral
compass must be attuned well.
In
a spiritual concept, our intentions and actions are our prayers.
According
to Henderson (2022): Prayer and the power of intention are fundamentally one
and the same thing; processes in which your mind has a particular focus: a
healing, a desire, or an intervention of some kind.
Spiritual
individuals, those who touch base with their core, are always reconciling their
actions with their intentions. Those who are relying more on motivations
oftentimes go astray.
