Not Getting What You Want

Sometimes, we have the best plans in the world. We imagine having the perfect house, car, wedding, job, or holiday and we work extremely hard to get them.

Yet we can find that our hard work only gets us so far. We regularly come up short. We then become disheartened, hard on ourselves and resentful.

Instead, understand that it didn’t work put for a reason. There is a higher purpose. The universe has other plans for us.

Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
