Why We Don’t Always Get What We Want

Good parents teach their children that they will not always get what they want in life. There will be times of disappointments and failure, no matter how much you want some things to happen. As we grow older, we learn that we are not in control of how things will turn out, and we will not always get what we want. But why is that?  Here are some reasons why.

The Way We Ask

They say that if you want something so badly, all you have to do is ask. But the way we ask for what we want may just be the reason why we do not get what we want. Some people want some things so badly that they become too pushy or forceful. Some become too persistent and annoying that instead of getting what they want, they are opposed to and rejected.
On the other hand, some people fail to communicate what they really want and so they get something totally different. Other people cannot read your mind. You have to clearly communicate what you want and prove why you deserve to get it.

Our Impatience

We have to understand that some goals take time to achieve. We sometimes fail to reach our goals due to our impatience. Many people quit or lose interest in pursuing their goal when things are not going so well or when progress is slow. If you really want to get what you want, you will never give up and keep going at it until you get it.

Lack Of Faith

Faith is a driving force that will bring you to victory. When you lack faith in yourself and in what you are doing then you will really find it hard to reach your goal. Believe in yourself and believe that you can achieve what you aim for.

Our Effort To Get it

If you really want something, you should be willing to work hard to get it. Some people talk about the things they want in life but never really did anything to go for them. As they say, success is equal to ten percent inspiration and ninety percent perspiration. If you want something so badly, get up and work hard to get it.

Solving Problems Takes Equals

There is a pervasive myth that somehow happy couples just agree on everything automatically all the time. Believing this myth, we enter relationships convinced that whatever problems or differences we have with our partners will be easy to solve. But, in reality, the individuals who make up a partnership will disagree frequently, and often struggle over even minor issues. In the course of building and sustaining a lifetime relationship, every couple encounters many problems. Different backgrounds and experience, discordant perception of each other and events, unequal rates of education and growth, conflicting needs for self-expression and contact, and differing values and beliefs about relationships complicate and often block attempts at creating partnership together. If you or your partner believe you have to "win" in a relationship, you'll tend to compete rather than cooperate. Earlier in life, you may have learned to believe that if you aren't the best, don...
