Your Conscious desires and your Subconscious intention must be in alignment. If your Conscious Mind wants one thing and your Subconscious Mind wants something else (counter-intention) it is impossible to create what you truly want.
If you don't do the choosing, life will choose for you, and it may not be the choice you want.
We fear the things we want the most.
If you want to know what your true beliefs are- take a look at your actions.
Getting what you want will not change your life at the Being Level, so don't let what you have determine 'who you are', otherwise you will always feel dissatisfied.
Go after what you want, but enjoy the trip.
