Best way to kill an intention

Here is an example of what not to do when you are intending something, because it will surely kill your intention. Let's suppose you have a bright student in your family, maybe one of your children or a niece or a nephew, and this student wants to get into a certain profession. You do not go around saying, "....is applying to law school, or medical school, or whatever school." This will attract a lot of negative energy. What you do is keep your mouth shut, send light to the intention, and announce it only after it comes true.

Another example: You would like to write a book, your lifelong dream. Shut up and just do it, and never ever tell the storyline to anyone until you have it down on paper, or it will evaporate into thin air; and that advise comes from Ernest Hemmingway. I would say he knew what he was talking about.

And another one: You would like to lose weight. Congratulations on your decision, now stop talking about it, eat healthy and go to the gym and wait for people to ask you if you lost weight. Now, you can smile and say, yes.
