Posted: Wed Feb 12, 2025 10:10 am
Hello, friends! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for joining me for this new episode of the “Walk with Johan” podcast. I hope you are doing well. Today, like every Wednesday, we are going to talk about a personal development topic, namely “the power of intention”. You will see exactly what I mean by that in a moment.
But before that, I would like to remind you that you have the possibility to join the Authentic French newsletter . It's free. All you have to do is follow the first link in the description.

There are many, many people on this list and I am very happy to be able to serve you.
So today, I'm going to share with you a tool that aims to improve our lives. This is an ambitious episode, right? We're trying to improve our lives, no more, no less. You'll see, it's easy to singapore whatsapp number data do. And the idea, it's in the title, right? It's to use the power of intention. Having the intention to do something, doing something or doing it with intention, means doing it voluntarily, thinking about it, we do it in a thoughtful way, we reflect on it. It's not a reflex, it's not something we do unconsciously, it's really something we do by reflecting, by thinking about it, in a thoughtful way.
I'm going to give you a quick example to show you what intention means or so that you can understand a little better what intention means. Unfortunately, you can hurt someone in your car intentionally, with intent. For example, if you're in a car, you see someone, you accelerate, you see them, you accelerate and you crash into them. And then, you hurt them with intent, you did it voluntarily. You can also hurt someone with your car but unintentionally. You didn't see them, you're driving, this person crosses in front of you, you knock them over, you hurt them. You didn't intend to, but you hurt them.
So you see that it is ultimately the same situation. Your vehicle hits someone, hits someone, injures someone, but there is still a difference, because in one case, it was voluntary, there was intent, and in the other case, there was no intent, so these are very different situations. And in law, we take into account the intent at the time of judgment. If you have done something that is prohibited and in particular here injuring someone with your car, the intent will be taken into account. You will have a lighter sentence, you will be less sanctioned if there was no intent.
