Hey, Nik here from the newly assembled Fix-your-question-force! We noticed an error in your question phrasing, so I’m here to help.
At the Fix-your-question-force we run faulty questions through our complex algorithm to help you make your question more answerable.
Here’s a selection of questions related to yours our algorithm found:
- Why can’t I have everything I want all at once?
- Why do I say never when I mean sometimes?
- Why don’t good things just fall into my lap?
- Why do I feel entitled to results I may not have worked for?
- Why do I think I should be rewarded quicker than others?
- Why doesn’t the universe think I deserve more?
- Why do I want so much and is there any way to want less?
- Why can’t I find my limits and accept them?
- Why do I pick aspirations that are so hard to fulfill?
As a complimentary service, we also offer to answer your question, which in your case, for all the above, is the same: Attitude.
The only person who never gets anything they want is a stubborn child who doesn’t know any better.
Look around. You’ll see many things you have wanted and then gotten. Be thankful for them.
And those other goals you still have to reach? Be patient. Take responsibility. Don’t hand out blame. You control a lot more than you think. Do what you can.
If you refuse to give up, if you’re willing to pay the price it takes, you’ll either get there or die on the way.
It could be anything you want. But not everything.
Regardless of what you choose, both options sound like outcomes of a fulfilled life.
“To get what you want, you have to deserve what you want. The world is not yet a crazy enough place to reward a whole bunch of undeserving people. Slug it out one inch at a time, day by day. At the end of the day, if you live long enough, most people get what they deserve.” ― Charles T. Munger
