“Intent is not a thought, or an object, or a wish. Intent is what can make a man succeed when his thoughts tell him that he is defeated. It operates in spite of the warrior's indulgence. Intent is what makes him invulnerable. Intent is what sends a shaman through a wall, through space, to infinity.”

“Intenta sentarte frente al mar, un día de verano, de cielo azul y poco viento, cuando la línea del horizonte se dibuja tan clara como si un niño pequeño lo hubiera trazado con una escuadra, y piensa que la calma puede astillarse en cuestión de minutos: unas nubes en la lejanía y un relámpago que ilumina un trozo de cielo y, al cabo de un rato, el trueno. Y otro rayo y otro trueno, cada vez el tiempo que pasa entre uno y otro es más breve. La tormenta se acerca. Se levanta un aire frío y húmedo, inquietante, que parece cargado de malos presagios y el mar se remueve hasta que las olas son bien visibles donde antes había un espejo. Empiezan a caer gotas gruesas y, ahora ya sí, llueve en bote de punta. De la calma a la tempestad sin avisar. Esto ocurre. Y a sus vidas llegó una tempestad que ninguno de ellos hubiera podido imaginar, la más devastadora.”

“Intention is everything. Is there love in what a person says or is there underlying ill-will in their words? Intention will determine the destined outcome of any situation. The same kind words from one person can be a healing balm and from another, a sweet poison. The same harsh words from one person can be malice and from another, save a life. The intention behind the words, action, or thought is always what makes it weak or strong, effective or ineffective, healing or harmful.”

“Intention is everything. Is there love in what a person says or is there underlying ill-will? Intention will determine the destined outcome of any situation. The same 'kind' words from one person can be a healing balm and from another, a sweet poison. The same 'harsh' words from one person can be malice and from another, save a life. The intention behind the words, action, or thought is always what makes it weak or strong, effective or ineffective, healing or harmful.”

“Intention. This purposeful reason... is enough to change the direction of your life. It is the spark that ignites the lucid dreams of wanting. Yet, without striking the match, further efforts will go undone. It is not enough to desire… for without effort, intention stays just that… an unfulfilled dream.”

“Intentional living is the bridge to significance. At the end of every year, I take time out to reflect and evaluate the events of the previous year - what went well and what needed improvement. From that inventory, I lay out my next year - how I intend to live, make the best use of time and maximize adding value to others. Success asks, 'How can I add value to myself?' Significance asks, 'How can I add value to others?' It is your intention that lends itself to significance.”
