Living with Real Intent...another eye opener for me!!

What does "With Real Intent" mean?

Bro. Ridd learned the importance of real intent when he was a young seminary student.  (I think this story could include us all!!)  His teacher challenged the class to read the Book of Mormon.  To keep track of our progress, he created a chart with our names down one side and the books in the Book of Mormon across the top.  Each time we read a book, he placed a star by our name.  "Spurred by a sense of embarrassment and my innate competitive spirit, I started reading.  Every time I got a star, I felt good."
He didn't finish first in his class and he didn't gain a testimony of the Book of Mormon.  He did get stars though. 
He said, "Looking back, I can see that the Lord was totally fair with me.  Why should I have expected to find anything other than what i was look for?  REAL INTENT means doing the right thing for the right reasons.  I was reading the right book for the wrong reasons. 
Living with real intent means understanding the "WHY"--the motives behind our actions.  Socrates said,

"The unexamined life is not worth living."
