In life, We don't always get what we want, And It can suck. Especially when it's something we care about! We can luckily change our ability to get what we want! We aren't forced to stay in the same place forever. Here are some tips to help you get what you want!
What Do You Realistically Want From Life?
We really can have whatever we want, But many people fail to come up with realistic goals!
We say we are going to do something, But the reality is, We have no intention to fulfill the necessary requirements to get that thing that we wanted. Many of us want similar things in life. Our goals vary only slightly. We all want to have nice things, financial stability, Food to eat, And extra for play. As well as enough to help the people or causes that matter to us!
The problem is, No one gets anything for free. So you have to realistically decide if the work required is worth the price to you. Growing up, I always wanted to be an Astronaut. So I looked into the education, The training and the chances of actually making it become a reality, And I quickly realized that to me, It wasn't worth the amount of work and effort I would have to invest to make the dream come true. It's not that I'm not willing to work hard because I am. But the investment requirement was too large for me to see it as worth it.
Many people settle for less for what they want Because they aren't whiling to make the sacrifices.
Change Your Mindset
Your perception of the world, Has a big impact on your ability to get the tables to turn in your favor.
I'm amazed on my bad days, how “unlucky” I become. On my good days, I feel like the luckiest person alive. When you genuinely believe that you can change your situation, no matter how bad. You can and will fight for those changes.
If you fully believed you could never make a difference in your life or your situation, Why would you try? Chances are, You wouldn't. The effort would become pointless and stupid! When you have this belief, you won't even try to work towards those goals.
Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone!
We love to avoid risk and go with whats easy. I find myself making random decisions like that all the time. I immediately choose whats easy. When my boyfriend and I wanted to book a vacation we were talking about a lot of random places we could go. Once we thought of San Diego, We quickly became obsessed with the idea of going. Until we realized that not only our last two vacations were in San Diego, But going to San Diego in the summer was super expensive and packed with tourists. ( We avoid people as much as possible). The thought of going some place new scared us, But we eventually we agreed to try Denver, Colorado because neither of us has been there and it's quite cheap At the moment!
When we refuse to get out of our comfort zone, We screw ourselves over with getting further in life! So Even if you take baby steps, Just do it! Your future and success depend on it!
Conclusion
Growing up, I realized something scary. That many people failed to get where they wanted to be in life. It broke my heart, But I quickly learned that many people simply do not get out of their comfort zone, change their mindset, And aren't realistic with their goals. You have a lot of leeway with where you want to go in life. And you need to Utilize your resources!

I agree. Many people never reach their full potential because of fear or having unrealistic expectations. This could be as simple as not understanding how much time and effort is required to achieve a goal, which could cause them to be discouraged before even getting there.
I always try to assess situations as best as I can with the knowledge and resources provided to me, and then I just go for it. I put 110% in it and I give myself time to achieve my goal. Persistence and not giving up can go a long way :)
lol!
Getting out of my comfort zone is so uncomfortable!
Right lol?
You are spot on. You know, I think we end up spending most of our life moving AWAY from our goals, by doing all the things conventional wisdom says we need to do. I hear so many people say that they want to cut the cord and move off grid.......... travel, explore, etc. And what do they end up doing? Going into debt to buy a house that they are never using, because they are at work all day trying to pay for it. They spend a ton of money heating their empty home, and spend even more trying to keep food cold in the same room. It's insanity!
Looking forward to reading more from you!
Exactly! OMG Your example is dead on, It's really sad. People just need to go for it, Even though it's scary.
I couldn't agree more with this! As my YouTube channel closes in on 1,000,000 subscribers, I receive endless requests from people for help/coaching on how to get started in YouTube...yet many of them are either 1) unwilling to take the first step, or 2) expecting to just get handed a winning formula without putting in the work.
The more I talk to others about my frustrations in these matters, the more I realize that people aren't in the positions they truly want to be in partly due to laziness and also party due to a sense of entitlement. Great read & thanks for posting :)
A past business partner had a favorite slogan. The order is important. The slogan is "Think Plan Do"
I believe he would like this post!

Upvoted, bye!
Nice write up @kaylinart.I think getting out of one's comfort zone is difficult but most times end up well.You get your desired result and everything turns out good.
So true!! You have to at some point in order to get what you want.
You are definitely right
We always need to take risks in life if we want to go further. The point is to know the best way to do this in a smart manner.
Exactly!!
I love it, it's always an amazing experience to jump outside of what you know. Perception is key :D
Yes!! hehe thank you!
Great post, I hope I don't fail to get where I want to be.
Right? Thats something that really scares me as well! As long as we keep fighting towards what we want, We should be okay.
Some people dream of great accomplishments, while others stay awake and do them. Mindset is everything!!
Blessings to you!!
Exactly! Thank you so much hehe :)
Yeah just be you and belive urself than get star '
Nice work as usual, your right, our mindset have a lot of role to play in achieving our goals, so we must have a positive mind set.and moving forward, we have to move away from our comfort zones, that means taking some risk. Great job. Keep it coming.
I am currently doing a "100 Days of Discipline" with my money to build up a travel fund ^_^
You make some excellent points! Love your post, as usual ;) Upvoted. And nice drawing of you :P
Right? @lauralemons has some awesome skills <3

Sad to say, but many a times whatever we want may not be the best for us. Seek ye for guidance.

Good post, very well written. Thanks for sharing :) Keep on Steeming.
@kaylinart this post inspires me and I can't wait to reach the level that you are currently at! Its motivation at its finest!
Totally!!! Thanks for share. If you go out there and live and do what you need to do and treat everyone with respect and lifes purpose. You will want for nothing. I love it!
I think you are make the view more beautiful sista
Aww thanks! Thats not actually me though LOL
The day I changed my mindset from negative to positive was the day I changed my life from bad to good :)
It really is unfortunate how many people don't challenge themselves or take risks. Especially in the U.S. where opportunity is abundant for most. I can understand being okay with where you are and floating through life, if you are happy where you are. But to be upset, or ANGRY at the system or the "Man" whilst not attempting to change yourself and your circumstances is completely unrealistic.
Great post and nice write! It's really hard to get out of the comfort zone.
Congratulations! Upvote and resteem :)
As I started reading I quickly realized it's not one of those I'm joking do the opposite post so ... I had to start over lol.
I believe that if you want something to happen hard enough and you put in the effort , it will . Simple as that. Tested .
Ohh yeah, That's seems so good, Thanks

I totally agree with your post I like it thanks a lot for sharing and keep on posting ;)
So true, some people follow mindful meditation or other forms, like kundalini, to get themselves into a neutral state and not bogged down by a negative mindset. I don't like crowds either and will do just about anything I can to avoid them in my daily life and especially on vacations. Today was a very crowded day, traveling for business in London and not much one can do to avoid the crowds at airports! But hey, I got to where I was going and had some nice peace and quiet to read another of your thoughtful posts :)
Sometimes you just have to jump in feet first. Don't over think it and move forward. No regrets! Thanks. 🐓🐓
it's interesting to think about really, that to get what you want sometimes you have to leave your comfort zone, because for most people that's also something they want. It's like to quit smoking, most people that smoke want to, but to get there they have to go through a week or more of torment from withdrawals so they keep on smoking anyway. Your advice reminds me of this, except for life in general. Thanks
Interesting post, upvoted and followed @chwaca
Totally agree with your comments! Majority of the times people don't even know what they want because they never slow down to self-reflect or are afraid to make a change. A friend of mine is presently in a fix whether to move to city city for a job that giving her way more than what she presently has and lot more comfort, but her resistance to moving out of the city to another new city is holding her back and she comes up with all sorts of trival reasons to not accept the offer in the other city. As you said, sometimes it's just about moving out of your comfort zone and making the leap! Great post. Upvoted and resteemed you :)
I want more freedom, more intangible things. Making changes to make my life the way I want it!
Another good, thoughtful post. Sometimes I think "God my life sucks", then I walk by someone sleeping in a tent on the street, and I realize sometimes the fight for what you have is more important.
"Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone" is the key in my personal opinion.
@kaylinart - Once more, you have hit the nail right on the head with this article. I agree, from personal experience, that we can achieve anything we want if we change pur mindset and put in effort to achieve realistic goals. Getting put of comfort zone is certainly a bog part of it. When i studied for a competitive exam during my college daya, i set up my goal to choose Electronics as an alternative topic for the exam because my analysis showed that it was more precise to score on electronics questions. I got out of my comfort zone, studied the new subject and cracked the exam to get tip ranking while every one else, including my buddies, stuck to their own main subjects.
Thanks for sharing. Upvoted
I have 'wasted' my weekend without getting 'wasted' and written a rather philosophical post about my butterfly and bee pictures called Float/Sting..What is your strategy. I request you to see and provide your views if you have time. Your comments will be very welcome. Thanks
I love your conclusion paragraph.
Sums up alot of people that I know. Even myself. It is hard to get out of your comfort zone especially the older you get.

Great post! Getting out of our confort zone is the only way we can evolve.
Thanks for the inspiration
I couldn't agree more!
I like to say "we can do anything but not everything".
Life is about getting clear on priorities and then committing to them. As long as we do that we can do anything!
Also love how u say on ur bad days everything goes wrong but on good days everything goes right.
Mental posture is critical to success. Without getting all new agey I can say without a doubt its important to have a healthy perspective, hope, confidence, etc.
Thanks for sharing!
SteemON!
YOu can't alway's get what you want...but if you try sometimes..you get what you need
