These things above sound like goals one would make for oneself. Yes goals are very important to have. Nothing like success to make feel one very good inside. That sense of achievement!!!
Yes extremely sad, it makes me want to cry, that nobody out there puts the needs of others before themselves, it’s so ,so… ultimately that is what we need the most, to have that "special one". To put that person always before ourselves, yes that person would have to do that also. It’s not a one way stream. It applies to our family and friends also. Wanting what makes them the happiest, to see them succeed in their dreams, to have the people we love being happy and being loved!!!!
Yes, everyone wants a well-paying job and financial independence. What they are not prepared is to put in the hours that merit such a well-paying job. People want to be rich without the sacrifices. Yes some people want to start their own business, but that too takes a lot of sacrifices, working long hours, and a lot of self-doubt will ensure, thinking that you are a failure. Success does not happen overnight, it takes a lot of risk taking. Most people are not prepared to do this.
Yes, everyone wants fantastic relationship and great sex, but many don’t want to put the work in that relationship, that is needed. There are going to be bad times, when both parties don’t agree, there are going to be times that there are tough conversation, the painful silence, the hurt feelings, the inability to communicate. Communication is so essential in a relationship. Give and take, put up with the other partner’s bad moods. Always listen to your partner, it’s important. It’s not only what you want and need in this joint relationship, it’s got very much too do what the other partner needs or wants. Compromises have to be all the time. Risk taking is very high in this department!!!
Yes, everyone wants an amazing body, but many don’t want to put the time in, going to gym regularly, or just exercising at home, eating health foods and not the fast food they shuff down their throats regularly.
People want things in life, but never are prepared to pay the cost for those things. It’s not a question of “You’ve just got to want it enough!” It’s got to do with how much you need it and what sacrifices are you prepared to go through for it all. There is a good chance they you don’t want it; you just like the idea of wanting it.
A more interesting question, a question that perhaps you’ve never considered before, is what pain do you want in your life? What are you willing to struggle for? Because that seems to be a greater determinant of how our lives turn out.
If you are not prepared to do the sacrifices, put in long hours, put in the emotional risk factor, too scared to be hurt again in a relationship. Bailing out the first opportunity you get when things are not going your way in a relationship. I have never known pain to be any less painful, in relationship to how long a relationship survived. It hurt so much and each time, it chips away at my very soul.
If you not prepared to fight for the things you want to keep, not prepared to be hurt time over and over again. Then I feel very sorry for you. Once you have won one of these fights, it gives life a whole different meaning. I cannot tell you how this feels; you need to be the one to discover this yourself.
For most of us we already have what we need, but with the every day pressures of life, we forget to count our blessings.

“Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.”

For most of us we already have what we need, but with the every day pressures of life, we forget to count our blessings.
