Whether you want to hear it or not, it’s the truth: You will never get anywhere legitimate in your practice and religion by reblogging the same 5 reworded mantras, "affirmations", and “manifestations” over and over again, and posting about "intent"; all of the "affirmations", "intent", and “manifestation” in the world will never be any kind of a substitute for true and legitimate work.
