Lots and lots of reasons.
Some will say, "You didn't believe enough."
Others will say, "You're your own god, you created this disappointment for yourself."
Yet others will say, "The universe (or whatever) is telling you you're not ready for it yet."
And others with say, "You're creating your own subjective reality. Nothing exists other than you. You really didn't want it [whatever the "it" is] anyway."
But, to me, all of those are excuses and they ring pretty hollow.
I've been reading
Simple-ology and while I'm not finished it yet, it's given me an insight which I really didn't expect.
In a nutshell, it essentially says that our friend Law of Attraction (LoA) is little more than a human construct and really has little to do with how the universe actually works. The author makes a very clear distinction between what is hard reality - that is, the chair I'm sitting on, the computer I'm typing with and the air around me - and the way we perceive this reality - whether I think the chair is hard or soft, the computer is fast or slow, the air is cold or warm.
In the author's world, LoA is purely internal and has little influence on the rest of the universe except when it drives us to action. That, apparently, is a key component that's often missed in discussions of this nature.
I'm not finished the book yet so there are probably more surprises in store.
{note - as I was typing this, I see that some others have made a couple of posts. I haven't really looked at them so I don't know what they said, but I'd bet a paycheck that they'll come close to one of the things I wrote at the beginning of this post...}
