Table 5 presents coefficients from logistic regression models predicting whether women and men overshot their early life intentions.
In addition, despite relatively high completed fertility, a large proportion of Hispanic women and men fall short of early life intentions.
This is counter-intuitive, because implicit in the idea of 'self-determination' is the idea of a self who makes decisions about her actions on the basis of some standing set of convictions, plans of life, intentions, and the like.
The variable for early life intentions was equal to intentions expressed at age 22, or as close as possible to age 22, within the range of 19 to 25 (for 98% of respondents this information was collected between ages 21 and 23).
The fact that Hispanics had higher early-life intentions compared with Whites seems to be related to the fact that they were more likely to be raised Catholic.
The results presented in Table 4 indicate that, for both women and men, higher early-life intentions were limited to those Hispanics who were foreign-born or grew up in non-English-speaking homes (Hispanics who were U.S.-born and grew up in English-speaking homes did not have fertility intentions that differed significantly from those of Whites).
The results of studies focusing on end-of-life intentions depend on factors such as social coverage, medical culture (including intensive care unit admission policy), evolution of medical theories, practices and techniques, clinicians' experience and values, and the psychological and relational context of patient and proxies.
A life's intention, therefore, is a direction, aim, or purpose that is a recipe for ikigai -- a life worth living.

Loving your work and living a full life requires intention, action, and a good dose of Big Magic!
