What actions are you taking to ensure the Universe conspires on your behalf?

Paulo Coelho reminds us in his novel The Alchemist:

When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

Of course the book is all about the journey we take towards our goals, so wanting something isn't really enough. Put another way - we've all heard:

So the question here is:

What actions are you taking to ensure the Universe conspires on your behalf?
