I think if you don't aim for what you
really want your intention is not clear enough, outback I'd call that misalligned. People spend a lot of time chasing things they think will bring them what they want.
Ex. You want a girlfriend? Why? What is it you want in a girlfriend? What "rules" do you have in relationships (we all do)? Do you really want a girlfriend or deep down is it self-acceptance you want? You might get a girlfriend but still feel unfulfilled.
Ex2. Want to win the lottery? Money is a tool, what do you want to do with it? Is it a feeling of abundance and freedom you want?
The closer you are to the heart of your desire the stronger the emotion/attraction will be. Strong emotion drives the intention.
All my opinions, agree, disagree?
