A goal is what you want to achieve. An intention is the feeling you expect it to bring. People chase money for the freedom it promises, not the dollars themselves. Intention is stronger because it's the emotional pull underneath.

Chapters

Intention is not a goal. When you set a goal, you say, I'm going to do this, and you do that. Intention is stronger than a goal because it's associated with the deeper feeling that we usually anticipate we'll experience when we reach a goal. Many times the reason we want something is because we believe that that's going to deliver an emotional response that we long for. I want more money because I think that's going to help me feel free. Intention is a deeper experience. Experience goals are the measurable outcomes, and therefore they're attached to outcomes.
