Good intentions never fix anything.
Intent: goal, aim, purpose; (in law) state of mind with respect to intelligent volition
Volition: the faculty or power of using one's will
Intention assumes intelligent use of power and I've yet to meet anyone who has true power to change things that also possesses intelligence. They do have end goals and they usually involve themselves and their own gains.
Leaving change up to those who only have intent is a sure way to stay stuck in the same place.

Good intentions are passive.
Critical action creates change.
Action stems from agere "to do", root *ag- "to drive, draw out or forth, move", active exertion, activity
Critical: involving judgment as to the truth or merit of something, having the knowledge, ability, or discernment to pass judgment
Critical thinking, creativity, and curiosity are the key to change.
Curiosity questions the norm, creativity imagines new possibilities, and critical thinking figures out how to make it happen.
