Question: Why can't we get what we want!?
It's not how it sounds!. It sounds like a spoilt brat talking, but what I mean is!.!.!.
Do you ever feel like nothing goes your way!? Everyone else seems happy and is together, and you've never felt more apart!. I look at other girls and see how they've got what I want!. I feel like all I ever do is schoolwork, yet my grades are still just average, my exams and coming thick and fast and I rarely have time to enjoy myself!.
Does anyone else ever feel like this, or have some comforting words for me!?
Thanks, :[ xWww@QuestionHome@Com

In order to get what we want, we must undergo the process of getting it!. Because of our situations, social status, gender, race and all the many burdens the world puts on us, the process can be long and uncomfortable!. But do not be discouraged because you are equipped with everything you need to make your dreams come true you just need patience and perseverance!. But if you are willing to undergo the process, you will get much more in return such as good character, experience, wisdom, strength and edurance and with these things, the sky is the limit!. So hang in there kiddo :) Www@QuestionHome@Com

Do not become so beholden to the things that you do not have, and enjoy the things that you do!. It's more the desire for what others have that causes you pain, rather than actually being without it!.

I've lived a life where I felt that I never had time to myself, all I did was work and study!. I endured the later and took what enjoyment I could out of the former!. I made sure that I did what I could to spend my "me" time on what I wanted to do, surrounded myself with people I enjoyed being around, and but everything else (annoying school admin, colpulsive liar boss, etc!.) aside when it was not right infront of me!.

It's just the way things are in the west!. We are conditioned to feel dissatisfied with what we have!. If your happy with what you have you wouldn't work harder, try harder & buy more stuff!.

The secret to happiness (apparently) is just to be with happy with what you got, otherwise you will never be happy because you can never have everything!.

I remember Robbie Williams saying 'I'm living the dream' because he had money,fame,success, a super model girlfriend but a few months later he was really depressed and just staying with his mum!. He thought 'success' would bring him happiness, but it didn't!. Family and friends made him happy, not the money or success!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

God made people in different shapes, sizes and appearances, like that every creation of God has the same rule in among them!. If you see that the thoughts differ from person to person in a particular noted matter!. Like the same God has given the capacity of achieving goals in different types and stages and some times some may not reach to their destination!. But one thing human beings should keep satisfying themselves whatever they have and whatever they achieve or not!. So, please do not worry about your average way of getting things!. Be happy what ever you have!. God bless you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

actually we the humans are always not satisfied of what we gets!.
It happens to all,don't worry but we can lessen it as by thinking that we might be having many of the things that are precious for others but are granted to us!. This is the rule of life and because of this we can't stop our struggles ,if we get all what ever we wish then the purpose of life will finish!.
>>GOD CAN'T GIVE EVERY THING TO JUST ONE PERSON i-e BEAUTY, INTELLIGENCE,LUCK, WEALTH, HONOR,SUCCESS,STATUS,REPUTATION,
FAME, SATISFACTION AND MANY MORE GIFTS OF LIFE!.
he has to keep the balance so think over it in detail and u may find a gift that is granted to u as these all are granted to the humans but not all of them to single person BECAUSE THEN HOW COULD HE KEEP THE JUSTICE!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Because if we had what we wanted, we wouldn't want it anymore!.
"Grass is always greener on the other side of the fence!"
It's only in human nature to want what we can't have!. Whatever we cannot have, we are instantly inclined to want!. Think world peace, more money, more hours in the day!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You cant get everything because of your past life's deeds!. no body in this world has everything!. its only god who has everything!. however the meaning of life is not to have desires!. it is to seek kingdom of god where there is only happiness!. no work only play!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

all we can do is all we ca do!. it seems hard now, but keep trying! you'll find that someone that makes you happy even when things are looking down!. then it wont matter what these other girls have, because you have the most important thing: love!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

The idea that happiness is a permanent state is not accurate so by understanding that one may enjoy the moment while it lasts!. Hanging onto or trying to transient states has only resulted in dissatisfaction in my life!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

hey, i know exactly how u feel!!!!!!! sometimes, things go ure way in one area of ure life but others fall apart i used to feel like i cud never get a happy medium, but im sure u can!
lookin at other girls more closely, they may seem together and happy but are they really!? most of the siutations i have been in its a total facade, the most confident and outgoing people are the most insecure!. i know this because i am one of these girls! everyone is just as insecure but you let it get to u more which is somethin i did too!. how old are you!? dont forget most of these girls peak in high school!! exams are hard and it can seem like theres no end to work but there is a light at the end of the tunnel u know!. exams pass quickly too and then u have the rest of ure life to start!. if u dont mind me askin u is it more specific or just everything!? make a wish list of what u want how it would make u feel and why then think about how ure going to get it!. confidence gets u everywhere but before u can be happy u need to be happy with ureself!.
