Understanding intention is the key to seeing whether you're creating suffering or happiness. In every moment there's intention, and whether you act from a wholesome motivation or an unwholesome one, you are planting powerful seeds in your unfolding. If your intention to change is not as great as your intention to stay the same, you'll stay the same. But if your intention to change and grow and wake up is greater than your intention to stay the same, that's exactly what will happen.
