Why do we hesitate to get what we want?

Does that mean we don't really want it?

I don't think it can be looked at that simply. At the same time I think it does show to some degree how much a person wants it. In my experience the more someone wants something the more likely they are to go get it. If you want to make yourself achieve your goal faster convince yourself that it is more important than you normally think it is. One thing people don't realize is that we often don't know how badly we want our own goals. Often you want something yet you will not realize yourself how badly you want it. So, one way to help yourself to achieve your goal is spend sometime in silence focusing on on it and becoming friends with it. There are many things involved in our hesitation to achieve something.

It just show that we are just afraid to get what we want. Some of the things that i want with life, i wasn't able to get it. I was scared to get what i want at that time and i am still till now. I don't like to fail so i don't try to do anything. it is a bad part of me and i don't know how to deal with it.

I don't think it means we don't actually want it. I think we hesitate because the thought crosses our minds that once received it will not live up to our expectations to the reason we wanted it in the first place. It may be a disappointment in the end.

I think the reason that I hesitate to get what I want is because I am scared. I do not really trust my intuition. I am not so sure of my own power. I have failed in so many things in life that I do not want to do it again.That is why I am so hesitatent.
