Sure you have goals,but do you set intentions?Setting daily intentions can turn your world around.

Entrepreneurs（企业家）understand the value and necessity of setting goals,but I wonder how many set intentions?What's the difference?Goal setting helps us to see the future,understand what we want,create a plan,and stay on track to get it done.That sounds wonderful,but for some,there is a downside to goal setting.It takes us out of the moment and creates an emphasis on what we don't have.For those who set goals and sometimes fail to achieve them,the act of goal setting can lead to a sense of,not only failing,but of being a failure.

Setting and fulfilling your intentions allows you to focus on who you are at the moment,to recognize and dig out your values,and to raise your emotional energy,which in turn raises your physical energy.Many entrepreneurs are excellent at identifying their values and know that living within their interpretation of them is a powerful way to achieve success,and more importantly,happiness.Daily intentions can help you do that.They also provide a road map and reminder for how to live out each day.Intentions give you purpose,as well as the inspiration and motivation to achieve your purpose.The practice of setting daily intentions can change your life.

I give intention to just everything I do throughout each day,from being receptive to limitless possibilities to getting behind the wheel of my car and arriving at my destination safely and without incident.There are no rules around setting intentions,but here are the benefits,guidelines,and reminders that work best for me.My intention is to share them here so that anyone who is meant to receive and benefit from this information will find their way to it.
