so I was thinking on the bus home today that there are units for each of the regular 4 dimensions (depth, width, height, time), mass (not the sunday type) and charge, plus the compound units (functions of the aforementioned 6 like speed, force, power, field, etc. But what about something unmeasureable, like intentionality?
I propose that intentionality be recognized as another basic unit, which can form the basis for other compound units:
intentionality x desire = will
intentionality x enthusiasm = motivation
intentionality x strategy = plan
intentionality x (plan + resources) = mission
etc
I came to realize today (save your slow learner jokes) that knowing/understanding your intentions is essential to feeling like you're doing the right thing, and finding a compatible job makes it easier to harness your true intentions and the integrity and conviction will speak for themselves, making it easier for you to be successful in your own work.
at least that's what I presume most self-help books talk about.
this can be identified (even programmed) through meditation/prayer/astral-planing, and seems to work. what struck me though today was that such meditation somehow influences the intentions, moods and/or dispositions of others towards your intentions and can positively affect your ability to pursue your intentions, making intentionality another basic unit of measurement, albeit intangible.
ok, rambling wasn't my intention... it seemed clearer at the time, really.
