peroquantosnombres -- actually this alternative has the same secret limitation to it. The very fact that you're asking life for what
isn't here (or imagining one that isn't real) means that you are asking for a life of conditional contentment... where it depends on some condition in order for you to be satisfied. And what that returns to you instantaneously is a life of discontentment... because "conditional satisfaction" IS the very ground of discontentment.
See, what you're really trying to change is the nature of the experience you're having day after day. And the
nature of the experiences I have are determined entirely (100%) by my level of understanding... by the level of my being.
It really is a futile exercise to try to find new experiences to have when the real problem is the limited understanding of the experiencer himself.
Right now pretty much all human beings on the planet are chained to the torment of fading, temporary experiences. And all we know to do is to search out some new thrilling experience to deliver another hit of temporary excitement each time the present feeling starts to fade.
So if I got the new business and the thrill fades, I turn to a new relationship, or a new travel plan, or a new philanthropic endeavor.
It turns out that nothing that you manifest in the outer world will be able to do one thing to change the level of being that is creating your day-to-day experience... except of course for the realization that that is the case.
Now here's the $64,000 payoff / answer to your question:

The correct way to intend things is to realize that your whole and total request must be for the level of human being you are going to be now, right this very moment, not in the future. And this has absolutely nothing to do with bringing new "things" into your life -- possessions, people, circumstances, etc., etc.
No human being can ever change by bringing a new future, a new dream into fruition. At best all they can do is deliver a temporary new experience that must, under law, fade in time. And the level of your being will always return you to the same predominate experience you were having before.
To truly change the quality of your life (what you experience on a moment-to-moment basis) you must change your level of being... which is the same thing as changing your understanding... and that is the way out!
