I think there are two important differences between wanting to do
something and intending to do it. In order to intend to do something,
you have to believe that you can do it, whereas you could wish to do
it even knowing that you can't. The other difference is that you may
intend to do something that you don't really want to do, but for some
reason you feel that you must. So what you want to do is something
desirable for you, whereas what you intend to do need not be
desirable.
How would you express the second meaning of  "what you intend to do need not be desirable. "?
