The Presence Projects presents episode 92 of the "Are You Being Present?" podcast series. Join Paul for a podcast that focuses on the vast differences between intention and expectation in the Present moment.
The title and topic of this episode is “Understanding the Difference Between Intention vs Expectation in the Present Moment". In this podcast Paul examines the stark contrast and effects that expectation and intention have on a person's mind, body and spirit. Living a life filled with expectation causes excessive amounts of suffering, primarily self-inflicted, that allows the ego to evoke negative thoughts, feelings and emotions.
Societal conditioning has programmed us to create lives filled with expectation, and when those expectations are not met a slew of negativity is experienced. Learning the effects of expectation, observing our egoic behaviors and then addressing them in the Present moment allows for more neutrality, peace and prosperity. In opposition, living with intention is a far easier way to navigate life as it provides a more fluid state of being. By having and exhibiting intention with people, places and things we can shift, pivot, and flow without creating unnecessary self-inflicted suffering.
As always, it is advisable to listen to earlier podcasts that discuss other Presence topics and Presence Tools that can be implemented to help shift into the Present Moment.
