I think most people's problem with manifesting their intentions, whether they believe in LOA or not, is that they confuse action with intention.

Intention comes before the action. You can simply meditate on its energy. But it will start to move you. Your entire being will start aligning with the energy, and that'll often mean taking action. Other times it'll mean just a state of alert expectancy, waiting for the right opportunity or peice of information. Whether the universe helps you or not I think is unimportant; it works for both models of thinking.

If you think the intention is the action, then often when you can't immediately see how to take the first step you'll give up. The missing element here is trust; trust in your friends in the universe to help you, and trust in yourself to have the inner resources.

Rumi called God "the Friend" and I think this is a very good way of seeing it. Everything in the universe has a certain intelligence and is part of you. So when you decide what you want, of course your friends will start helping you. When a guy has conviction, people follow his lead.
