Learn To Question Your Intention — And Not The Outcome
What’s meant to work, will work out one way or the other.
It is, but natural to judge our actions by the outcomes they lead on to.
While it is an outcome that is the result of the actions we take, it is not all that is within our control anyway;
Because an outcome is the result of not only our actions, which are within our control;
An outcome is also the result of many external elements that are way beyond our control.
So, when we have to face outcomes that are different from what we thought for our actions to lead on to, we should learn to question what lead us to take those actions in the first place, and not question the outcome itself.
When we choose to shift our focus on what guides our intentions, we also choose to keep working on what truly matters to us.
It is natural to find reasons to beat ourselves up over results that turn out differently than what we thought would;
But it is in those moments that we need to dive deep into our intentions;
And if we find the truth in those intentions to be true to who we are and what matters to us;
We will find ways to accept that outcome for it was;
But most importantly, we will evolve to find ways to work towards an outcome that we truly hope for.
When we choose to refrain from judging a situation by the outcome it brings, we choose to open ourselves to possibilities that we did not consider earlier.
There are times when certain outcomes do not make sense to us, and it is during those times that we need to retrace our steps that lead to such outcomes.
If we are intentional about the steps we take to get somewhere, it is not guaranteed that we will arrive at our destination using the same route;
But it is guaranteed that if we open up to trying different routes, we will figure out a route that leads us to our destination.
What is meant to work for us, will find ways to work out;
As long as we are open to explore ways to make it work for us.
There never has been, and there never will be, one single way of doing things that work, and we need to remind ourselves of this, every time we find ourselves a tad lost in an outcome we did not expect or hope for.
It is in the moments when we choose to question our intentions over the outcomes we face, do we realize what we can do to make things work for us.
