Intention: “the thing that you plan to do or achieve: an aim or purpose.“

Motivation: “the condition of being eager to act or work: the condition of being motivated”

Notice that neither of these words actually includes the physical creation of anything and yet, they both imply working towards just that. The intention is what (the thing) you want to create and motivation is how you feel about what you’re going to do or create. In other words, intention feeds motivation.

Intention without motivation is like the proverbial castle in the sky. It’s dreamy but impractical – it won’t hold up.

Motivation is what gets us to action, and it springs from our intentions. Once you’ve set out your intentions, how can you get motivated to achieve them?
