In Taoism, everything has its "Dao" (or Nature/Flow). I don't think The Tao Te Ching talks in terms of "intention". It does say however a concept of "wei wu wei" which would mean something like "doing without doing".

Think of it like playing blackjack, you try to get 21, so you can do something (hit for another card) or you can do nothing (stay - keep the same number).

To not go against (or "contend with" - as Tao Te Ching says) is to Accept. to do without doing is to leave it alone (acceptance).

So even doing nothing, is doing something - you are allowing things to be as they are.
