When we ask (the Universe) for what we want, vagueness should not be included in the question. Specificness brings goals closer to us, and the Universe with the Laws of Attraction may be geared to honor the requests which are more so, specifically laid out.
Do you have a specific experience in specific asking? Clarification: that asking (with intelligence) for what you want, tends to get you what you want, (more often) than having a general list of what you want?
(The above question, may be more effective because of the clarification; clarification -- being more specific, through the clarification.) And that's the coinciding doublebacked play on words, that hopefully, demonstrates the effect of clarifying and specifying.
The video below, is a good one about asking; believing; and receiving.
