For example, intending good personal health, improving your finances, discovering your personal path in life, getting a material possession, getting an education, etc. - those are all fear-based and negative?
You can generate similar outcomes with either polarity, but there will be a very different intentional energy behind them. If you keep asking why you want a certain thing and trace it back to its roots, you'll end up with either a fear-based intent, a love-based intent, or a mixture of both.

For example, why do you want good health? Why do you want an education? Why do you want more possessions? Are these desires ultimately rooted in love or fear? What's the why behind the intent? For most people the motivation is a mixture of both polarities. However, you'll get much better results if the root of your intention is either one polarity or the other but not a blend of both.

I will definitely address this in upcoming articles with some concrete examples.
