I heard a story once about a farmer who was about to lose his farm, because of a continuing drought.
They hadn't had rain for over 2 years, so he was becoming desperate.
He decided as a last resort he'd kneel down and pray to God for rain which would save his livelihood.
He said to God, "Please make it rain so that my crops will grow and I can sell them to the market and save my farm?" God's reply was, "Why would I make it rain? You haven't dug the irrigation ditches yet, so you're not expecting it to rain.
"   Don't we all do this? We expect the Law of Attraction to work for us but we do nothing to make it happen.
We're really just "wishing" for something to happen.
  To attract what you want in your life, you have to prepare the "ditches" first.
No ditches, no rain.
If you were going for a new job, would you turn up without a resume'? Of course you wouldn't.
You'd make sure your resume' was up to date and professional, so that you had a good chance of securing the job.
  The same goes for anything we want in life.
For the Law of Attraction to work properly, you have to take the time and effort to know what you want and a plan of how you're going to get it.
Whatever it is you're attracted to won't just fall into your lap.
It's up to you to take all the steps necessary to achieve your goal.
