Some people make excuses to avoid doing that, the most common being a variation of, "but look at <insert random successful person here>, they didn't have to do anything to get it!" Yes, it is true that there is a rare case of random benefit happening, but it's not the norm. If you want something, you have to go get it.
The Lord helps he who helps themselves? My dad sat in the H.R. office of Ford Motor Company every day for two weeks waiting. He kept telling them "There must be something I can do." He made a career of working for Ford.
