Why do the best laid plans of mice and men and women often go astray?
Why does "IT" happen?
Paradoxical intentions offers some insight.
Intention is the motivation for our actions. Often invisible, our stated intentions don't always seem to line up with our results. Why? The old adage that "intentions are measured by results" can help to reveal the hidden effect of conflicting intentions.
Our conscious intentions are only the tip of the ice berg. Below the surface lay the infinite entanglement of all our aspirations. The truth is that some of these aspirations conflict with each other.
The result is conflicted outcomes. "IT" happens.
Our paradoxical intentions need to be exhumed from the depths of our psyches and reevaluated in the light of day. Clarity of intent is the key. Take a look. Ask the hard questions. Know what you want and why. "IT" may still happen but less often.
