Asking the universe for what you want works when your energy is full of the good desire for it then the law responds, verses asking without the hope to get it, without the clarity or purpose for it.
“Law of Attraction abounds, and when it is said to you, “Ask, and it is given,” there is no more powerful statement that is at the basis of what makes things happen than that. Now, how is it that you think you ask? With your words? The Universe doesn’t hear your words. You ask with your desire. The desire that is born out of the contrast. That desire. That wanting. That’s what summons the Life Force.”
