A simple goal is to make my bed. My senses can tell me if I achieved that goal. An intention would be to make my bed with an attitude of playfulness. An intention takes us beyond the realm of doing into the realm of being. It requires more than just “getting something done.” Intention has to do with the state of being. It is not nearly as obvious to most, this state of being, as is the “doing” or “function” part.
Now I am remembering the trio of function, being, and will, how all are interrelated and important in the process of transformation of being.
