As we practice and study more, if we didn’t already have the intent to become enlightened, we may soon find ourselves wishing to attain what the Buddha experienced. Yet even still, for some the intention of enlightenment isn’t nearly as clear as the intention to eliminate suffering or overcome some difficult problem. Over time though as we continue to practice, or when we overcome our problem, or even when overcoming our difficulty takes longer than we expected, we loose focus. We may become distracted or discouraged because things are harder than we originally thought they would be. It is, I believe, as easy to be discouraged as it is to be lulled into a sense of complacency. If we can develop these ways of intention in our lives then we too can become the king of our Sumeru-world with unhindered powers and virtues.
