I believe the idea here is that if one decides what something is about, or for , before even beginning the practice you'll miss out on what the practice has to offer independently. It will simply be a projection of self and not an entity unto its own.
Enjoying the by-products of practice is awesome. Deciding what they'll be before you start is something else.
Hi

Amen, expectations & preconceived ideas bind reality rather than letting reality flow more freely into something that can be more wondrous than anything one's expectations can imagine.

I do enjoy the by-products though, especially the stretching of my stiff old arms!!
