When my wife and I bought our house, the salesman told us he could see that we were ready, and that he could usually recognise who was ready to buy a house (not necessarily the house he was selling at that moment, just *a* house) within the first few moments of meeting them. He couldn't tell us exactly what it was, just that he knew somehow.
Something similar seems to happen in many different contexts. People looking for a job often get the one they think they won't get (possibly because they are more relaxed during the interview), childless couples who adopt, or consider adopting, are pleasantly surprised by the arrival of a biological child, and according to an oriental saying, the teacher comes when the pupil is ready.
Unfortunately, this is not something you yourself control, even though your own attitude may be the most important aspect. You just have to go through the process and wait patiently.
