Well, it is the physical universe we are experiencing here - even if we also have experience of other (psychic & spiritual) dimensions. Good things can happen through synchronicities, granted. Yet in addition to working with the LOA, bringing things to a high state of realization generally seems to require much work and even toughness, besides the ongoing faith and persistence.

Synchronicities at the start of something are wonderful, as they are encouraging. but achievement or full flowering of something (a project, for example, or a job or career) is often not simply a matter of 'chilling out' after that beginning point. Maybe not for every goal, but the achievement of many goals does require hard work.

Let's think for a moment about Barack Obama. At some point in time, he became interested in public service - along the lines of his own values and political beliefs. He entered politics, and at some point he aspired to run for president. Of course, he had a good many of the appropriate attributes (as a high-level public servant and politician), and the times were right for someone like him to have a decent chance at getting the nomination and then winning the presidential race.

And he did that that.

I would imagine the story involved a good many supportive synchronicities, yet from what he has said and written his life was not always easy. Besides having to focus and work hard in university, more recently, in the last few years of Obama's ascendance in the national political sphere, I'd guess the road was really challenging or even difficult.
