What happened to my order?

You send your intention, wish, or desire out into the Universe and await an answer. And then you wait. And you wait and you wait. Was anyone listening? Our thoughts never go unnoticed or unheard. There are a number of reasons why they may not have manifested yet. Perhaps you need additional time and actions for your intention to present itself in physical form. If your intention was to complete a college degree, it would require you to enroll in the classes, complete them, and gather enough of them to meet the standards for graduation. That could take three years or more, but it would happen. In some cases our intentions manifest themselves instantly, but in most cases they take time and action. Or perhaps you may state your intention overtly, yet covertly harbor beliefs that are counter to the manifestation of that intention. You may say that you desire a loving relationship, but deep down inside your belief may be that the person you wish to be with doesn't exist or that you really don't deserve to be loved. Those underlying thoughts carry greater strength than what you might think. Until you change your beliefs, you hold your intention at bay. Finally your intention may be half-hearted. It is when we set it with passion and conviction that the Universe takes your order and makes it so. Which of these reasons may apply to your order still being on hold?
