Lol... so true.
Start thinking you DO "have it" then you will. See what it is you want, in your mind, visualize it.... it's the first step to obtaining it.
There is no such thing as destiny, there is no such thing as chance, there is no such thing as "gods will" that's why we were BORN with FREE WILL (i know that will piss someone off... sorry and it's not my intent) you create your surroundings, the only thing that limits you is you.

You know, I honestly think we have everything we want. Is there anything that you realistically would want to have that you don't think you could get? It just depends on how much you want it and how hard you're willing to work to get it.
p0ink is right. Whether he meant to be or not, he is.

because we are obviously not content with all the things that we already have. We know that it cannot fulfill us. We are still sad, almost miserable.
So in vain, we want more, gather more. Thinking maybe, more can fulfill us.
But people don't realize, that it is not the more material that will fulfill you, it is the joy and adventure that comes from the "new" that would lead to contentment.

I'm kinda strange about that sort of thing. I buy a lot of stuff for the people I love but don't buy much for myself..... I guess because I don't like to be set up for disappointment. I bought my hubby a PS3 and a good friend of mine a digital camera - both, this month. The most expensive thing I buy is my ADIDAS Supernovas. I'm addicted.
I won't even buy an electric can opener because I don't want to be disappointed if I ever need to use a real can opener. Electric stuff always breaks at the worst times. The only reason I even have a computer is because my Dad bought it for me when I was in college. I like my laptop....... but wouldn't dish out that kinda money on something I didn't "need" for myself. I don't watch TV. I hate to think of the stuff I wouldn't get done if I spent time watching TV. If I never start.... then I won't miss it when I get busy. It works. I DO feel kinda guilty about the time I spend on EF. I allow it because I can just keep the page on the computer and hop on and off in between doing the stuff I think I should be doing. I guess I'm strange... but it works.

This is the answer, so don't post anything else after this except to say "Hey, that IS the answer". ....
Because of the challenge, and people think they are smart and say to themselves "Hey I CAN get that, just watch me."

I agree but 'fate' (or 'gods will' for the religious out there) also plays a part. people have free will but chance occurrences happen that change the best laid plans.

sure, but if you think about, where you are now, and where you decide you wan to go...it was not by chance.. some decision that you made along the way brought you to where you are now and thats not just your physical location.. that applies to every aspect of your life. yeah sure, you could be walking down the street and "happen " to bump into the woman of your dreams...my point is, you made the choice to walk down that street...
