I remember how so much of my life was wasted when I suffered from this syndrome. I had no idea what I wanted. So looking for a job became a desperate roll of the dice. And even when I had a good job, none of my conversations were shaped by my intention...so my career really didn't go anywhere.
Is it any wonder? How can you go somewhere if you have nowhere you want to go? Without intention, life is about avoidance. You wake up in the morning and your mind begins to picture what it DOESN'T WANT. Once it gets those pictures, it spends the day taking evasive action.
That's when life is spent running FROM things, not moving toward anything. That's what intention deficit can do. I run from creditors, family members, people at work I'm intimidated by.....I avoid activities that would actually help me achieve my goals (if I had any.)
But that's just it. Without intention....without knowing what I'm up to...why I'm doing this…what I'm working for, I lose heart. I lose energy and I never experience what I once experienced as a child...enthusiasm.
