You bastard! I tried so hard to quit. The time I thought I’d quit and was definitely doing other things, turns out I was doing my life defining Magick! Fuck me! No escape. Like a plane with only enough fuel to get you from ‘A’ to ‘B’ , after the half way, there’s no turning back.
But then you came back! Magick is a hard slog and being lhp doesn’t make it any easier.

Yeah you’re right! 
Situations have momentum. Often times this momentum needs to be stopped and redirected
Even the strongest ritual won’t stop the earth from spinning on a dime. Some scenarios need lots of time to change course
Plug common mistakes like lust for result and declaring that their rites never work (a potent spell, by the way) and it can be a self fulfilling prophecy
The wisest thing one can do is get a sense that things “could” work and get that ominous trippy occult feeling like you’re messing with a higher power. Watch a movie and immerse yourself into it, work with something that truly scares you, practice something you feel a real current flowing through, etc
Then do magick for something much closer. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to tell someone to not try to manifest $10k their first time attracting money. If it feels that far off then go for a result that’s closer to finding a coin on the ground. Open yourself to magick in general and snowball it up to where you’re someone that miracles happen to
Sidestepping goes a very long way. Send a sigil for a free soda and open the gate again

These deities are not our parents who say yay or nay. It’s never a flat out no. Treat this as a process of elimination. Are you truly aligned with the essence of what you want, mentally and emotionally? If not, that’s your work. By this, I mean, stop tripping yourself up. Make sure you’re telling the right story, starting with something like, “My request has been received and it’s being worked on.” You have to really feel certain that what you want is on its way, and then you get off the topic, secure in the knowledge that it will appear when it’s meant to. When the topic comes back up, tell the story you want to live, feel the good feelings, and then get off the topic. Until you can do that, it’s going to feel like the powers that be are telling you, “NO.” 
I also agree that you need to give it time to manifest, to work. It’s rare that you’ll just suddenly get the knowledge you need just like that, especially when you’re already under pressure. I mean, when I take my own advice, especially for gaining knowledge or answers, it takes longer than a day or two even then.
