You don't get what you want. You get what you are.
Remember that your natural state is joy.
The law of flying was not discovered by the contemplation of things staying on the ground.
You can either be a Host to God, or a Hostage to your ego!
The problem is that we have allowed our egos, the part of us which believes that we are separate from God and separate from each other, to dominate our lives.
Anything you really want, you can attain, if you really go after it.
