Your magical intention is the foundation of any spell. Simply put, if you don't believe your spell will work, it won't. In order to make any change — not just within spell-casting, but in life at large — it is crucial to believe in your will. Every day, people change the world with their ideas. Your thoughts are always powerful forms of energy: Positive thoughts amplify abundance, while negative thoughts amplify scarcity. If you cast a spell you don't believe you can manifest, you're wasting your time.

Yes, you can both believe in your spell-casting practice and manage your expectations of what it will yield. Unfortunately, love spells will neither transform a frog into a prince nor make your favorite celebrity crush fall in love with you. If you're focusing your spell on a specific individual, you need to already have a strong connection with that person, and you shouldn't attempt to transform who they are or how they feel; instead, focus on inviting more abundance and love into your relationship with them.

Keep in mind that a person unavailable in one realm is unavailable in all realms. For instance, if your lover is extremely blocked in the spiritual realm, spells can do little to help you deepen your relationship with her in the physical realm; she must be emotionally and spiritually open to spell work first. Alternatively, if the object of your affection is currently in a relationship with someone else in the physical realm, he's not someone you can connect with in the spiritual realm. (Besides, you don't want to set an intention of ending someone's else happy relationship, do you?)

There's a fine (but incredibly critical) line between awareness and compulsion. Once you release your magical intention, it will take the best route to reach its destination, but this route won't necessarily be the fastest. Your energy has the power to bypass obstacles, but in order for the universe to do its thing, you need to give it time, space, and trust. When you obsess over the outcome of your spell, you infuse this energetic current with desperation, fear, and doubt. This energy muddles the effectiveness of manifestations, so play it cool and let the magic groove.
