Intent can be defined as resolved or determined to do something.  Your intentions can speak volumes of who you are as a person and what values you may possess.  Being specific about your decisions in life will bring about the cause of your intentions.  I have found that one must approach what they intend to do with as much thought as with their final actions.  This can define or redefine who you are or what you would like to become.  Making courageous decisions have deep intention behind them.  The outcome is achieving something you have expected for some time, however, it may take time to arrive at the state of being resolved, that will lead you towards your destination.
