Because it is a shared universe - we share it with each other, with all life, and of course with all matter - events are subject to force and what I call 'inertia'. Inertia in this context refers to the attributes of an event or impending event, which we can shape through our actions, but are also subject to shaping by the rest of the universe as well.
Generally, the more inertia an impending event has, the less affectable it becomes. So an impending event with a very strong inertia is not easily affected by our actions, or may even be immune to our actions. An event with very low inertia will be easily affected by our actions. And events are also affectable or not according to all the regular attributes as well - our knowledge, proximity, capabilities, etc..

The inertia of the collective is definitely a factor in how easy it is to change things. Rupert Sheldrake has a lot of good thoughts about how the universe has "habits" down to the material level.
The other major factor from within is incongruence. When we are unconsciously conflicted when asking the universe for one thing while at the same time sending messages for something else. The universe either responds to the unconscious if it is strong or it may just respond with chaos instead of what we think we want. That is why in order for the will to function properly it is important to work on the our inner issues so that we can function in harmony with our self and the universe.
