Some of us are so gloriously hopeful that we want it, and we think we can have it, but we want it delivered. So what we do is, we find a delegatee; someone to do the job, but someone we look forward to blaming when shit goes wrong. When we cannot find someone like that, we resort to: "Insha'allah" (if Allah wills it), and then sit in anticipation like embryos waiting to develop into fetuses.
But, oh yeah, wait! You're going to get it. "Good things come to those who wait." You don't have to earn it. You don't even have to try at all, just pray. God will serve up your request on a plate of gold, no doubt about that. But just do intelligent civilisation the favour of having the bloody courage not to be disappointed with what comes your way.
I know those who cannot read will as usual call me a kafir for saying this, but really, there are things we call God's Will that are in fact failures of our own will. I believe God's Will is sometimes not directive, that there are things He just permits, and permission, authorisation, consent or whatever synonym you wish to call it is a consequence of an intention, decision, or the will to act.
