practice the art of 'setting my intention' and record my results.

I set my intention to be an effective social activist in next five years.

I am setting my intention to complete writing
this book in next six months.

I am setting my intention on getting a new and better government in next 3 months.

5. Appeal to Authority
The fallacy is in arguing that a person/object is an authority on the subject, when it is not.

I think it started a few years ago when I was waiting for word about my possible promotion and I checked my monthly horoscope. It happened that in that forecast there was a prediction about some great career advancement news, and that same month, I was promoted. Ever since then, I’ve been hooked. However, for every accurate prediction I’d say there are tons of inaccurate predictions…

Sometimes i have a feeling that setting intention has also elements of a fallacy.

Today (19Feb,2006)i set my intention on making democracy truly functional in my state within one year.
