Intention is an excuse for inaction

A weak one at that

'I intended on doing it, but I just didn’t get around to it.’

'You were on my mind, and I was going to say something, but I forgot.’

I often find myself saying these things. It’s hard, I don’t want to say them, but sometimes the situation calls for it. As if these intentions make it better.

If used wrongly, intentions are an excuse for inaction. Sure you meant to do something, but meaning to do something, and actually getting around to it, completely different ball park.

If you find yourself saying these things, up your game. You know you’re better than your intentions.
