You got to find the balance between wanting something badly enough and letting go so that you can see what action you need to take. Sometimes we want something so badly we think about it all the time. Worry about it never happening and it's like asking someone for something like borrowing the car and keep they keep talking. yak yak yakking to convince them why they should give you what you're asking for... the whole time they person they are asking is waiting for them to shut up so they can tell you where the keys are.
In other words if you keep wanting and trying to convince the universe you should have something you're not listening for an answer that will give you the next step towards what you want or something better.
