Question

Why is it hard to get things you want in life??

Answer 1

what will be the fun in it if u can get it easily?

Answer 2

because things doesn't just fall from the sky. things that you want in life you have to find it, fight for it, or earn it. then you would appreciate it.  

Answer 3

No it is not hard, guess what? if you work for a mnc and aspire to own a bmw or a benz or a huge house thats hights of stupidity, there are ways to earn such as business where you can fulfill your wants better.

Answer 4

Because you have to realise that life is very short, i mean we don't live forever hence why are we created if we are going to end up back to the source which is dirt. Taking all this into consideration why are we created so now we have a purpose, what is your purpose in life what is everyone's purpose in life. There are less fortunate people and wealthy people and knowledgeable people but everyone has thier individual tests. God tests all of us the rich the poor the wise. with the poor he or she is tested on faith without money with the rich how he or she spends her money, etc.

there is a story poem that motivates me to keep going about the life cycle of a butterfly... one day a small opening in a cocoo.; a man sat down on the park bench and observed the buterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through a little hole...then it suddenly stopped trying as if it has gone as far as it could, so the man decided to help the butterfly  by taking a pair of scissors and opened the cocoon and the butterfly emerged easily. however it had withered body, it was tiny and had shivered wings. The man then watched expecting at any moment the butterfly would open, enlarge and expand to be able to support the butterfly's body and become firm.

neither happened, instead the butterfly spent its entire life crawling and was not able to fly.What the man, in his kindness and his goodwill did not understand was that restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny openeing, were God's way of forcing fluid from the body into the wingsso that it wold be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.

So your question is simple sometimes sruggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we easily got what we want in life without obstacles it will cripple us like the butterfly and we wouldn't be as strong as we could have been

'i ask god for strength and god gave me difficulties to make me strong'

' i ask for wisdom and god gave me problems to solve'

Answer 6

I believe it was Tesla that stated: "those things that come too easy to us, we esteem to lightly"

1) the following example may or may not follow suit to this...

2) I had been unemployed close to a year, when I decided it would be good to get some exercise and help some farmer-friends back home bring in 5-10 trailer loads of hay one summer... we started fairly early around 5 a.m or so and worked fairly steady till noon or close to....the farmer's wife, as is the cliche, was an amazing Cook.... but it even tasted more amazing because my body needed it for the physical effort I put in and the nutrients in my body being depleted for doing so....

3) At first I told my friend, "It feels so good to eat, when you deserve it.." he was quick to reframe my statement into: "It's not that you deserve it or not, but if you need it or not..."

4) That changed my whole paradigm how I viewed life... some of us like myself never learned self-discipline or stewardship(taking care of posessions) growing up... and all these years I thought I deserved the life of a Hollywood actor without the fame and work it takes to get an agent and the failure after failure that most Actors had to go through...

5) This sense of entitlement, I'm still working on to put behind me, but some of the simplest things I've had to work for wether that be a skill or possession.... at least at the moment of attainment I was the happiest person on Earth.... now that I look back it wasn't simply the attainment of my goal, but that I had the capacity to achieve and persevere... qualities most of us only attribute to Historical figures and those mythological-characters we see portrayes on the silver-screen by our favorite actors and actressess.

6)  All that to say is we never appreciate things that are given to us without personal effort, like life, our parents gave us life without any effort on our part.... and I, you, as well as others catch ourselves complaining that life is never unfair in our favor....

7) But the things we do appreciate about ourselves, have come from some effort on our part, because were willing to invest our whole-being into making it so..... our fear of failure gets in the way for a time, but sooner or later it gets to be crunch-time in some crisis and we either sink or swim... cross-training as we all know in Non-crisis times makes dealing with Crisis times that much easier... but we'll ignore those last few words till the next crisis, right?

8) In conclusion, its allright to say I want fame, money, beauty, charisma, etc.... but it's quite another to pursue those things with any amount of personal effort.  And for some reason the better the payoff; emotionally, financially, spirtually, etc... the more difficult it is to achieve; this isn't meant to discourage us but to help us understand the currency of commitment and once we commit and spend a few coins of effort... we dig deeper in our pockets and souls because we get so close to reaping the benefits we crave.... but more importantly we crave what deems us competent humans.... and like it or not in some form wether humanitarian or otherwise comes down to one thing:

The capacity, ability, and the history to Achieve.

Answer 7

because otherwise people wouldn't appreciate what they have.

as an example, they would be like one of these people who were raised in a very rich home (Such as Paris Hilton); they don't really see money in the way that a "regular" person who's in debt would if they had that money.

Answer 8

Because what we want is a good thing. See for example we want mango and not grass. We can get grass easily but what we want, here

the mango is sweet and tasty and that is why we want it and if we want that me must spend time and put effort, be patient and then enjoy the fruit.

Answer 9

it s easy with Jésus because he loves you?

Answer 10

As a child u must have experienced that whatever u demanded  from yr parents u didn't got . They must have thought that some things r harmful or unsocial according to yr family status or u don't need them now. Other reason may be financial crisis. U can judge yourself . At this age u can easily think and say that most of the demands were guided by the idea that your friends or relatives or neighbour have got so u must have. A child may want 2 go near the fire but it is harmful.U r undergraduate and desire  of getting the facilities of graduate, not fit 4 a job or sport and desire 4 that without being trying to raise your standards. If u r really fit then u get it. If then also u don't then it should be accepted as destiny.
