Why You Don't Have What You Want

This is for the ones who are constantly searching for answers, to the ones who don’t understand why they don’t have what they want, to those who can say that I’ve done everything I could, to those who can’t wait anymore.

Don’t rush. 

When it comes to the pursuit of anything, be patient. Wait.

You know why you don’t have what you want yet? Because you’re not ready for it. The truth of the matter is you wouldn’t know what to do with it nor know how to handle it. Think about it. Think about the moments in your life where you got what you wanted prematurely. When you rushed into something you knew weren’t ready for.

Sure, one can argue that rushing into what you’re not ready for is also a blessing in disguise. You’re forced to leave your comfort zone and through navigating your way through it do you gain experiences you never would’ve if you didn’t hit the ground running. 

But that’s a completely different situation, this is isn’t the kind of pursuit I’m talking about here.

Truly great things take time.

Whether it be a relationship, an opportunity, a business, a job, a big break, or whatever it is you’re pursuing.

Stop complaining about waiting and do something about it instead.

Use that time to learn what you have to, use that time to prepare for what you want, because one day you’ll get what it is you’re pursuing. 

You’ll get it when you’re ready for it. When you’ve gone through what you have to so that when you get it, you know how to keep it.

Trust that the difficulties and the hurdles are there for a reason, they’re not there to keep you from what you want but to make sure that only those who really want it get it, and get to keep it.
