Not Getting What You Want
October 30th, 2011Not getting what you want can be frustrating as well as heart breaking. It all depends on what it is you want, how much you want it and of course, why you want it. If you have been looking to achieve a goal for some time but you seem to continually fall short, this can be devastating or on the flip side, you can channel the pain of disappointment, refocus and try again. It is always going to be your call so it is important you know why you want it so badly and once you know it is probably going to be easier to stop letting obstacles stand in your way and take what it is you want from life.
I am talking about real, achievable goals, ones you know deep down, that you can conceivably reach with some hard work and determination. I am not talking about winning the heart of some girl you have seen on TV who does not even know you exist or becoming a millionaire without a plan or a lot of hard work. You know the real type of goals I am referring to. Like getting the promotion at work you know you have earned or can earn with hard work, starting a successful business with the necessary resources at your disposal or winning the event in your chosen sport.
Sometimes not getting what you want can be a blessing in disguise because when you come close to your goal without quite getting there, it gives you a taste of what it is you really want and you pick up new ideas and new pieces of information every time you reach for fresh success in any arena.
At the end of the day, not getting what you want presents you with three options as far as I can see. Either you give up on trying to achieve this goal, you learn from the lesson of failure or thirdly you reassess if you really want it bad enough. The answer is within you and once you know your true motivation behind any goal you set for yourself, the steps to get there always seem to present themselves the more you focus on what it is you want to achieve. The rest is up to you. Yes, it may require a lot of hard work and discipline on your behalf but it will be worth it. Nothing worth having ever comes easily.
