Yes, very much in the intent. Quo says somewhere, and in much better words, that once you give what it is you have to give, it is out of your hands, and you have to let it go. This is very much the case for a musical performance, and I would think for many actions where you give without knowing what's on the receiving end. When I go on stage to perform my intent is to brighten someone's day, but I have no way of controlling the outcome, other than trying not to suck. When I center myself in the heart and play straight out of there it makes my whole body sing, and the times I manage to do this seems to be when I get the most positive feedback.
Also: every moment is sacred. Everything we touch is a part of the one infinite creator, of us. Even the negativity and toxicity that we feel so acutely is part of the one, but there's no need to let it stick, just let it flow through, lovingly.
Sometimes the best service we can do is accepting help offered to us, with an open heart. This has been a tough one for me, and quite likely part of my special homework.
And hey: cleaning the bathroom. This can be made into a sacred act of glorifying the creator, but I would think that even if done grumpily it is an act of service... using non-toxic soap, of course.
