"It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you have."

Some people chase after something they'll never have all their lives. Some people, once they have something, lose interest in it.

Do you have to get burned several times before you want what you have, or do you "get it" the first time? What degree of emotional maturity do you have to reach before you settle?

Or is it "you have to play the game?" Where does the phrase "being comfortable" come in?

Hmmm

I guess we have to first look out for "who we are" because what we want may change over time, some of us learn to scale down the ambitions by "just growing up" and some being forced to do so.

If we believe on the "WANT" we will remain in the state of "WANTING" without ever moving forward??..! But at the end, what we want is really what we need..??

We all are slaves to this material word that surrounding us with "catchy eye" things, to some may be important to achieve that level of materialistic life of "having and wanting" and to some a simple life "with peace" is the greatest achievements. To my knowledge?.to "achieve" means to "expect" if we "expect" then we shall have it no matter how hard it is.

I suppose if it's too easy to come by, we don't appreciate it....I was taught this all my life. But it's different for relationships than for material things, isn't it?

A material thing has no heart to break, only that it be desired to be owned.

Who we are...how right you are. When you don't know who you are, you don't know what you want; you end up chasing after something or someone you don't want but don't know it at the time. I suppose the game ends when you realize what you want. But for some people it takes a lifetime.

But is it wrong to "expect" something of someone else? Only if YOU think they can achieve it and they don't? Maybe I'm really wondering if I'm the kind of person who chases all their life for something they'll never have.

If someone were to ask me whether I would take a night of total abandon, or take a $ 5000 shopping spree at JCPenney, I would be going back to bed.

Maybe I do eat challenges for breakfast.
