What is Intention?

Several people have asked me for the difference between intention and a resolution. Here is what dicionary.com says:

in·ten·tion /?n?t?n??n/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[in-ten-shuhn] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation –noun

1.	an act or instance of determining mentally upon some action or result.

res·o·lu·tion /?r?z??lu??n/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[rez-uh-loo-shuhn] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation –noun
3.the act of resolving or determining upon an action or course of action, method, procedure, etc.

Intention is the mental aspect, where one came to realize how something might transpire or see the path for the end. A resolution is a decision and a often the vocal part of an intention.

To sum up, a resolution is a billboard telling the world what you decided while an intention is a path in your mind.

Which one do you think will win out?
