Declare your intention to the Universe

This is powerful stuff at work!

"Do not ask the universe for what you want. Declare it. Don’t ask. This is very similar to prayer, but you are not praying FOR what you want. You are praying WHAT you want."

All the "hopefully" and "maybe" and "can't" nonsense must be cleared from your consciousness. You cannot allow yourself the luxury of a negative thought, and that is an intention to manifest what you don't want. This takes practice of course, but it is the essential art of learning to use your consciousness to create what you want. When you are congruent in your thoughts, your goal will manifest with ease. But when you are incongruent in your thoughts, you will manifest conflict and obstacles. As within, so without.
