S3 Ep01 - Goals & Intentions

Many of us start new projects or set goals with enthusiasm, only to find ourselves losing direction along the way. This often happens when we lack a clear understanding of the deeper intentions that should guide our actions. Without aligning our goals with our intentions, we risk moving forward without purpose, leading to frustration and burnout.

In this episode, we dive into the distinction between goals and intentions, exploring how these concepts play out in both Zen practice and our everyday lives. I discuss the importance of setting intentions that are aligned with our values, and how this alignment can help us navigate the challenges that arise when pursuing our goals. By combining mindful intentions with clear goals, we can create a more balanced and fulfilling approach to productivity.
