Effort over intentions | Fola Daniel Adelesi

People are constantly talking about their intentions, and they are not showing their efforts. There are people who think that because they have good intentions, they will get results. The fact that you have good intentions does not mean that you will get good results.

The fact that you have good intentions does not mean that you will achieve anything. Nobody sees your intention. Nobody understands your intention.

Nobody rewards intention. Efforts can be rewarded. Efforts can be appreciated.

Even where the efforts do not lead to success, at least people can see that you tried, you tried, and then they can guide you. They can tell you how to do things better so that they help you succeed. That is why it is important for you to move from intention, oh, I want to do this this year, oh, I want to do this next year, oh, I am going to do this.

When are you going to move from intention to effort? When are you going to start making that effort? That is why people make new year resolutions. It is an intention, but they do not move from that intention to effort. If you want to get results with anything, you must move from intentions to deliberate efforts.

It is only deliberate efforts and not intention that will get you the desired result. Only deliberate efforts, not intention, will get you your desired result. If you want to stop smoking, for example, you must make deliberate efforts.

What are the kinds of efforts that you must make? You stay away from those who smoke, you stay away from the joints where you smoke, you stop keeping the cigarettes in your house, you stop looking for it. If you want to stop any habit, one of the things that you need to do, it could be to find an alternative to that habit or to look for something else completely. And in other cases, you just must stay away from that places that trigger that habit.

What efforts are you making to become a better person? You cannot just say, oh, I intend to be a better husband, I intend to be a better wife, I intend to be a better child, I intend to be a better student. What are the efforts that you are making? Deliberate, intentional, consistent efforts. You do not make that effort once and you say, oh, I tried once, and it did not work.

You do not make that effort twice and you say, oh, I have tried a couple of times, and it did not work. No. What is the consistent and deliberate efforts that you are making to improve academically, to improve in your career, to improve with your goals, to improve your business, to serve people better, to create solutions? It is important to note that effort will always triumph over intention.

You see, there are so many people who are well-intentioned, but we do not know their efforts. We do not see their efforts. If you become a leader of a nation and all you have is good intentions, but you do not deliver, we are not going to appraise you for your intentions.

We are going to appraise your efforts. And so, if you do well, we will appraise you only because of the efforts that you are putting, not because of the good intentions that you had. Nobody is rewarded.

Nobody is graded because of their intentions. Everybody is graded or rewarded because of their efforts. Academically, when you sit for an exam, it is your efforts that we see, not your intention.

And when you are starting a business, we do not see your intention. We see your efforts. Your efforts can then give us an inkling into your intention.

So, it is important to take steps. Make sure you are doing something. Make sure you are working.

Whatever it is that you have decided to do, work on this. Let your efforts be visible. You are smart, you are intentional, you deliberate efforts.

Let them be visible. Let us see what you are doing. So, you must always put effort over intention.

You must always show that you are ready, and you are going to do whatever it takes to succeed. If there is no effort, then nobody knows what you are working on, and your intention does not count.
