Intentions

 

     I know they say that intentions is the seed of actions but that seed doesn't always germinate into what we planted it to be.
     To the parents out there or people with kiddies at home. I trust by now you all have bought Nokia torch light phones because babies naturally know how to go for your phones and destroy it. Your best dress is going to be dragged all over the floor right after it comes out of the dry cleaner. They are going to teeth with your shoes and give them a crayon and your newly painted walls will become their new drawing board.
   

   
         What I am trying to point out is that as much as these actions can be annoying, you know deep inside you that they never meant any harm to you right? You know that they never had any intention of hurting you with what they did and so its easy to forgive them. It is kind of the same thing with some adults.
   To the lovers out there, you get called on the phone by your man and he tells you that he arranged a romantic dinner for the both of you that in the newest Chinese restaurant in town, then you both go out and have a good time that night only for you to wake up unable to go to work the next day because you got food poisoning from the place.
        At times people do things that offend us but it doesn't mean that they meant to hurt us. One of the policies I have tried to adapt and maintain is to look beyond the act and into the persons heart for the reason why they did what they did. You  I believe that as long as a person doesn't intend to do wrong by you, no matter what the situation is the person can't really be hated or judged by that action. This policy also helps in improving your ability to forgive easily. So Next time a family, friend, loved one or even stranger does something to annoy just try to fish out the intentions behind it before taking any actions.
    Although it can work both ways. They say that at times you are too busy looking for the good in a person that you miss the knife that the person is holding behind, so don't be caught off guard either, you still need to be able to recognize when the intentions are bad. This lesson has been helping me so far and I believe it can help you out there also.
