NOT GETTING WHAT YOU WANT
I am totally convinced that people do not get what they think they want. That includes me. I know the reason I don't get what I think I want. It might surprise you that people don't get what they want because they really don't want it. I can explain that based on the natural realm as well as on the spiritual realm.
When you do not admit what you want, you will get what you want.
Admit What You Want
The very first step to getting what you want is to admit wholeheartedly that you sincerely want it. A lot of times people say that want something, but deep down inside, they really don't want what they say they want.
Just a little bit of doubt will keep something from coming to pass. The doubt could be so subtle that people don't even realize it is there. However, the mind and body respond only to what people really want.
When you do not acknowledge what you want, you will get what you want.
Acknowledge What You Want
Another reason people don't get what they want is that they do not articulate what they want. They beat around the bush and expect the universe to respond to vague requests. If you are not specific in your desire, then don't expect to get what you say you want.
A very good example of this point is in the story of Hannah who was barren in 1 Samuel ----. She wholeheartedly wanted a child. However, she did not want just any child. She wanted a male child. Therefore, that's what she prayed for. During that time, a wife's desire was to give her husband a male child. Besides, the other wife was giving Hannah's husband many sons.
After praying and telling God exactly what her desire was, Hannah gave birth to her son Samuel.
Acknowledge your desire by articulating with detail exactly what you want. God will give you the desire of your heart, but you must make sure it is your desire.
When you deny your desire to getting what you want, you will not get what you want.
Stop Denying Your Desires
You might say there is no way people would deny what they desire. You can tell if someone denies his desires by the actions listed below;
If a person is satisfied to settle for less, perhaps he did really want what he said he wanted.
If the person says, "If I get it, it's fine with me, and if I don't get it, it's still fine." A remark like that indicates the desire is not a heartfelt desire.
When a person does not participate in getting what he says he wants, It shows he is not really interested in getting it.
When you think you do not deserve what you want, you cannot get what you want.
Do You Deserve What You Desiire?
Some people do not get what they want because they think they don't deserve it.
When you do not participate in getting what you want, you cannot get what you want.
You might be your worse enemy when it comes to getting or not getting what you want.
You don't admit what you want.
You don't acknowledge what you want.
You are not specific in articulating your desire.
You are satisfied to settle for less.
You think you don't deserve what you desire.
You do not participate in your own blessings. Instead, you wait and hope for things to happen without your help.
