Why don't we always get what we want?

God doesn't give us what we want. He gives us what we NEED. A lot of times we convince ourselves that our wants are needs. He knows better.

I think God is fair for he must open o window for for you when he closes the door. Every cloud has a silver lining. So when you face a problem, don't worry and just make a detour to reach your goal. Do tell yourself: come on! I will persist until I succeed!

very true mate but remember god helps those who help themselves. so dun lose faith in urself.

Really? I wonder you get the problem. Usually I get what I want ;-) Time is the only problem. Sometimes I got it immediately, sometimes I had to wait for a long long time before eventually got it. If we are really want these things, and have a strong determination, Nothing we can't get. So, be careful with our wish. We can't ask a helicopter if we don't get a helipad in our house :)
