Model: Intention = desire + expectation

May 19th, 2018

Intention originates from a

desire

towards something.

But wanting something is not enough.

"I want to be rich" is pure desire

 

You also need the

expectation

that it will happen.

In your mind it has already happened.

Now reality just needs to catch up with what you already know to be true.

"I will be rich" is pure expectation

 

The

intention

to be rich combines both want and will.

 


 

Important to realise is that you don't need to know

how

you will achieve it.

You only need to have the desire and expectation towards something.

 

Intentions can be

unconscious

.

 

Why is this model

useful

?

Clarifying your intentions is important because you need to claim and celebrate intentions that were met.

Doing so generates motivation and trust towards future intentions.

Not doing so, may cause you to unconsciously distrust your own intentions.

"Why would I put in the effort, there's no reward anyway."
