I have been wondering, will any person always get what he/she wants in life. There are manydreams that have been sought after with a passion, but none has come to fruition-will you always get what you want in life?

I dont think its possible that whatever we want in life ,we get it.Many times we have our wishes fulfilled but to ask BIG things or one which is impossible to get without hard work is not good.To get something we should do something,its not like without moving u want grapes in your mouth,you have to move get your hands on the grapes and eat it,thats what u have to do to fulfill ur dreams. Thousands of people wishes but only a few walk away fulfilling it.Every person in this world want something or the other but they dont get it and this will continue for ever bcoz its never ending.mans wish list never have an ending.

That is very true coolcat we -human desires are usually wild wish lists, and frustrations set when the down to earth realities come to play-w can never get everything we want, but oh yes, we can lay our hands on some if we try hard enough!

I think if we work hard enough, we just may get what we want in life. It depends though. If a person wants to be a millionaire and yet doesnt like to work. Chances are that unless he plays the lottery or has a rich dying relative, you wont get what he/she wants. Plus you have to have money to buy scratch ticket. I think at least once in our lives we'll get what we want. It may be small but it will be ours. dl

The bottomline is hard work dlovi, but again, there is hard work and we still far too short of th things we want! So Luck has to come in handy here!

I agree for the most part. For me my luck is never that good. As far as luck playing a part in getting what we want I dont know if I would call it luck. For me I think a better word is fate. I think luck can play a dirty part as well. Some of us are not that lucky. Where does that leave us? I think there is a difference between getting what we desire and getting the things that we could realistically want and utilize to better ourselves and our lives. There are several things I want such as a mansion, a maid, big expensive car, and tons of money. WIll I ever get those? Most likely no. However, If I work hard and save, maybe invest, I may get a nice car not a $100,000 but one that I really like. I think that when we decide the things we really want, we should make sure they are realistic for my lifestyle. My friend won the lottery and bought a Hummer all souped up and chromed out. Nice looking car. Two years later the car is being sold because realistically she couldnt afford it. Even though she spent her winnings on few years of insurance and payments eventually her luck ran out. All I am saying is to be sensible and you'll always get what you want.dl

Hi academic, There are several reasons why we can't get always what we want..If it will be given to us, it might not good and will just cause nothing but sadness..I believed! LOL! Anyway, in my life, I was trying to list things every year what I want to achieve, and I am also aiming for the things that for me not very impossible..LOL! and when I will start to evaluate my list at the end of the year or even earlier, I will be very happy to attain most of it and I will just be positive about the things that was not granted to me! This is my routine every year and each day or month is exciting looking forward for the realization of each dreams!LOL!

Not all the things that you want in life will be given. But sometimes what is given to you is more than on what you expect to have. So, each thing that is happening to you has a certain purpose. But it would be good if we can really get what we all want in our life. Just trust God, believe in yourself and continue dreaming!

hi academic.. i believe that to live a complete life one must face failure along with success and God has balanced our lives equally with both; though we may not really realise that. it takes me back to one of my own discussions : Do you believe in luck for success in life?... where in one place i have responded to a comment where i have defined luck as nothing but the Will of God, which is highly influenced by our own deeds, our intentions, our prayers and blessings from others. you may say that i have never even thought of doing anything bad to anyone, always pray on time and also help others...but still my dreams arent fulfilled even after the passion , hardwork and determination - why?? well thats the test of God. God has tested his own beloved prophets like Jesus Christ - PBUH & Prophet Mohammed - PBUH ; and we are just mere sinning humans. lets assume that a person gets everything that he wishes for and everything that he dreams about..would it end there??? no.. it's human instinct to keep wanting for more. the more u get, the more u want. so using this logic - i feel a person can't always get what he wants in life...but yes what we can get is a satisfaction of atleast trying to acheive a desired goal. God bless you.

No.. its not a cake walk for me, i have to fight for every good thing, to achieve in my life. As you well academic, the bad acquaintances, bad things are easily reachable.. but holds in the severe consequences, and its not so for good things. All the sincere steps that we take in getting the good one, is like a penance.. and surely it will stay long. Take care.

i think we could not get what we really want sometimes in life.Because i think God likes to play trick with people.For me, i never give in the so-called fate and give up the things i want really in life. As long as i try my best to so the things.even i could not get it in the end, i will not regret.Because i have tried my best to complete it.So people always say:let it be.I think the word means we should try our best to acheive our dream,as long as we try, don't care with the result.That is only my opinion.lol Good luck

True, there may be desires to have what ever you consider good, but you will never have all that comes as a wish! Thanks for this response
