Quoting Steve Pavlina:
"If you want to achieve a goal, you must clear out all the “hopefully” and “maybe” and “can’t” nonsense from your consciousness. You cannot allow yourself the luxury of a negative thought, and that is an intention to manifest what you don’t want. This takes practice of course, but it is the essential art of learning to use your consciousness to create what you want. When you are congruent in your thoughts, your goal will manifest with ease. But when you are incongruent in your thoughts, you will manifest conflict and obstacles. As within, so without."
That's the part that is fuzzy for me. I can understand removing focus from the original intention, just put the intention out there with emotion, put yourself in alignment with the end result and trust that will come about. But making part of the intention "it's ok if it doesn't happen" seems like it sets you up to not receive what your intending. Being "congruent" with your thoughts as Steve put makes more sense - if you want something, intend it and make it clear is how I understand it from Steve's perspective. If I say "I would like this but it's ok if I don't get it", doesn't that somehow have me sitting on both sides of the fence and so if I don't get it, I've intended it because I said I'm ok if it doesn't happen.
I think I'm thinking too hard about this, aren't I.
Forgive me, I'm still a noob at all this, with a voracious appetite for all of this subject matter - it's just so powerful & intriguing.
