Wording Intentions - Asking for what you really want

Yes, I have been through this, but sometimes you don't get it right away either. Like, for example, I do oracle readings on myself, and I did one today. It basically said that in the past I had no worries; in the present I need to let something or someone go so I can get on with my life; and in the future doors will start opening up for me when they are ready to. However, I cannot force any of the present and future to happen, or things won't work out the way that they are suppose to. So, when you do ask for something, you don't necessarily need to always be specific, but you do need to be patient.
