But my experience has been that whenever I want something it slips further away and my efforts turn out to be for nothing...
What do you think? Does wanting something badly cause manifestation or does it push luck away?

There are some missing data that you have to know. This is the reason that what you want slips further away (as you said in your explanation). The missing data are:
1.Your desire should be beneficial to all or most areas of your life.
2.Your desire should align to the plan of the creator considering he's juggling all desires by so many people and arranging everything to benefit the whole.
So, next time, look at some basic truths, so you will know what the Source is about. Look at nature and find out how the rose bud blooms, when and why. Look at why cells divide and form new cells and you will come face to face with the divine energy that constantly creates out of pure love. You then will have a reality of the purpose of life. Then, you can co-create with this Intelligence through wanting what is pro-survival for all areas of your life, yourself (development of mind, body and spirit) , your family/partner, your work, the earth's environment etc. and having confidence that this will materialize because you have an inner agreement with the Source that this will be so.

I think it is a matter of wanting something so much that you will put the extra effort into achieving it. But, as you have found, it doesn't always work out the way you want it to.
I have found that if things don't go the way I want them to, I am usually lucky because something better is coming along or the thing I wanted was not good for me to have.
I just keep placing positive energy on the things I want and then accepting what I receive as the gifts they are! You know...the only thing I can realistically change is the way I look at things.

It directly depends upon what it is that you are desiring and the fervency of your desire. The Standard Rule is: The more one would be enriched by a given outcome, the less likely that it will happen. The best policy is to allow success to "sneak up" on you. Victory is assured when man focuses upon the means 75% and the goal...25%. Examine any issue from war to your job and you will find that this is a valid approach.
Another example: People who search desperately for true love rarely find it, but those who are walking along just living their lives and going to work have it hit them over the head.
I could go on and on, but...
Take a deep breath and go live your life, not making anything an all-consuming factor for your happiness. Talk to me in a year.

Depends.
Achievements which you need to work for require effort and the more effort you invest towards achieving what it is, the quicker you will get it.
Connections and lotteries on the otherhand are just the opposite. Because it is out of your control, you need to appease, appeal, or tempt what you want towards you which means you need to make yourself harder to get. Once that random thing knows you'll be hard to get, IT will try harder to get to you and will come to you faster....
....unless that IT doesn't value you as important at all which means that it WON'T seek you out or reach for you at all.
Batty's right about positive energy. You just have to intuitively find some form of synchronization and peace with the universe. The more balanced that becomes, the more your wants will match your needs and your demands will match your supply.

Whenever I want something really bad, I just tell myself that it wont happen, kind of reverse psychology. Then when it doesnt happen I am not upset because I never thought it was going to happen in the first place...and if it does happen I appreciate it more because I know how close it was of not happening. I found out later more about Buddism which believes in this as well. They say when you stop wishing and needing things to happen you will stop feeling disapointed with life. That is why when you give up alot of material things in your life...that's when good things will happen and you will totally apreciate it.

Sometimes things don't turn out exactly the way we want them to. I hate to think of it in terms like it was for nothing though, because we learn through our failures and our successes. Remember the expression, " nothing ventured, nothing gained".
If you want something badly it causes people to work hard for want to achieve. When you achieve your goal you will feel proud because you earned your ( diploma, GED, job promotion) or whatever goal it was that you set for yourself. You make your own luck.

The more you want something the higher chance you have of getting it...something you already have? Ha ha.

Couldn't tell you. If it weren't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all.
