For me, the desire is the inspiration for my decision/intention. This is what drives my intention. My intention is what it is - there is definate emotion attached to it, but there isn't any longing or need, just anticipation.

It is my experience that it isn't "letting go of the outcome" because with a true intention, you know the exact outcome you desire - it is more a letting go, after you've asked, to the need to ask over and over again. Like a child that asks for a cookie every two seconds when their mother has already said they can have a cookie in 5 minutes.

I think what you should try to avoid are all feelings or thoughts of LACK in association with your desires and intentions. That feeling of want and longing is what blocks the manifestation.

Example: I am hungry and desire to eat chinese food for dinner - I call and tell them what I want give them my info and then I hang up. After making the call, I don't call back every two minutes and change the order, Nor do I keep calling and checking on the progress of the order....
I ordered what I desired, I trust they are preparing exactly what I want, and I am doing other things until it arrives - but....I know it is coming and I am anticipating the enjoyment of eating it.

hope this example makes sense - it sounded better in my mind before I actually wrote it down. LOL
