Thurgood Marshall "What is the quality of your intent?"

What is the quality of your intent?

Certain people have a way of saying things that shake us at the core. Even

when the words do not seem harsh or offensive, the impact is shattering.

What we could be experiencing is the intent behind the words. When we

intend to do good, we do. When we intend to do harm, it happens. What each

of us must come to realize is that our intent always comes through. We

cannot sugarcoat the feelings in our heart of hearts. The emotion is the

energy that motivates. We cannot ignore what we really want to create. We

should be honest and do it the way we feel it. What we owe to ourselves and

around is to examine the reasons of our true intent.

My intent will be evident in the results.”
