If there’s one thing I’ve learned watching people scramble after success, it’s that most of ’em are like a fella fishing in a dry creek—lots of fancy poles, bait, and determination, but no water. Success, much like fish—or ants, as our anteater friends demonstrate—requires the right conditions. Without them, all the wishing in the world won’t fill your bucket.
The cartoon of two anteaters at a picnic captures this truth with quiet humor. They sit patiently before their carefully arranged cake, waiting for the ants to come.
This reflects the science of success:
- Intention (Thought): They wanted food.
- Preparation (Condition): Instead of chasing blindly, they placed ant farms in front of them.
- Patience (Belief): Having set the conditions, they trust results will come.
The law of attraction works in much the same way. Success is not conjured from thin air. It comes when thoughts, beliefs, and actions align to prepare the ground. Once the stage is set, opportunity and achievement are drawn to you as surely as ants to an anteater’s trap.
So the lesson is simple: don’t sit cursing your empty basket. Stock the creek, cast your line, and then wait with the patience of our anteater. Success has a habit of showing up when you’ve done the hard work of inviting it. The science of it is plain enough—set the right conditions, and you’ll get the result.
