I think part of the secret is being happy with what one has already. When my kids occasionally showed that they were unappreciative of what they had been given, I was a lot less likely to give them more. So it may be for us. Not a case of "deserving" or not...more like, "if you ain't going to use what you have, what's the sense in giving you more of it?"
Some of the LoA material says to tag your intentions with "and this or something better" which goes with what we are saying - to leave it open for the universe to provide the particular abundance that is in your best plan.

I like that analogy about the kids - that's a good one to keep in mind! Of coarse LoA material also talks about being grateful as one of the basics to getting into the grove with IM.
