I don't think anyone's implying that - there are lots of other factors like hard work, seeking help and support from others, prayer and connection with higher beings (if that is your belief), and so forth.

As far as I have read, even the most fervent believers in the law of attraction don't claim that you 'intend and forget' and then automatically get what you desire. Intentions and mindset sure don't hurt, though.
