Question How do you intend something without intending conflict?

I remember reading up on Steve's posts on the Law of Attraction, Intention Manifestation and what not and he says that if you intend conflict, you will manifest conflict. Ok sounds reasonable. He gives an example where if you two people intend to get a job, but only one can get it, you are intending a conflict.

So for example, I have been reading many of these intention manifestation posts and it seems a couple people talk about intending to get into a specific college. Well if you intend to get into a college, aren't you intending conflict if you know that only a certain amount of people will get in? Some will get in, some won't, there's a conflict there.

And then Steve mentions how one ought to intend something for everyone/all. For example, intending happiness and good health for ALL, instead of say intending good health for just yourself. This also has to do with subjective reality and a singular consciousness. If we are all part of the same consciousness, one needs to intend something for ALL. But you can't intend for ALL to be accepted into a specific college. You can't intend for everyone to be something.

I guess my main question is... where can you draw the line between intending something for yourself? Can I intend to get good grades? Would that imply that others won't get good grades?

I am kind of struggling with what I'm trying to say here. If I intend to land a job that two people compete for.. am I suppose to intend for ALL to get the job? To me it feels very paradoxical and I am confused about what I can actually intend.
