Got this from Adam's site... an extension to the ideas and messages from Evan Almighty.

"When you ask for wealth, money will not fall from the sky. Instead, you will be given the opportunity to become wealthy. And remember that opportunities always come hidden as problems.

When you ask for confidence, God will not make you confident. Instead, you will be given opportunities to build your self confidence. Maybe, there is a chance for you to volunteer as a leader, give a speech, stand up to a bully etc…

If you wish for people to love you, you will not have people come up to you suddenly and give you hugs. Instead, you may start to notice opportiunities where you can give your love and kindness to others, thereby giving them them chance to love you. Is there something kind that you could do for a friend or loved one today?

If you wish for happiness, you will not wake up one day feeling happy for no reason. Again, you will begin to notice opportuniies where you can perform random acts of kindness to friends, family, strangers and even animals. And I guarantee that doing it will make you feel happy."
