Faith is important. Knowing you are taken care of by the Universe is important. Being able to visualize your success is important. But doing the footwork willingly, that is key. 

There is a wonderful meditation that you can do, when you are wanting to bring a project into reality. Feel the spark of the idea. Roll it around a little bit. Ground yourself, and follow the stream of energy upward, into the heart of the Universe, taking the spark of the idea with you. Allow it to be filled with the light of the Divine. Drop your vibration ever so slightly, so that you can see light beings around you, and hold the spark of the idea, now full of white light, up for them to behold. Let them play with it and give it shape. When they are done, drop your vibration just a bit more, and look at the idea energetically yourself. See its form and function. Follow the threads that form off of it, to see what it is attached to. When you are ready, drop your vibration a little bit more, so that you are almost back, and let the idea itself tell you what you need to do in order to bring it into the material. When you are ready, open your eyes. Be prepared to write down your notes so you don’t forget what the idea told you to do.

Now, follow through. You could do this meditation all day, but if you never followed through, you would never get anything accomplished. Action is important when you exist on the physical plane.
