"INTENT - The determination or resolve to do a certain thing, or the state of mind with which something is done."

Therefore, some action which is undertaken with POSITIVE INTENT, would mean that the action (whatever form it may have taken) was undertaken with the POSITIVE INTENT that it be carried through to completion. It can have either a go0od meaning or a bad meaning depending on how it is used. If a good and lawful act was carried out and completed successfully then it could be said that the outcome was positive. HOWEVER - if a bank robbery (or any crime) was carried out with the positive intent that it succeed, then the phrase takes on a negative meaning.
