i don't think anyone's ever got EVERYTHING they wanted, but what would be the point of life if you did? you'd have nothing to work toward or a goals....i'd prefer to always have dreams rather than have everything i wanted

I think that this is highly possible. There was a time a couple of months ago where this was the case in my life. I got everything I wanted at the time but in looking back, these types of moments come with a price. In return for getting all I wanted, I suffered a huge setback. So while I think it is possible to get all you want, I think in the end it comes down to if you want it that bad that you're willing to suffer the consequences. If so, then you'll get it.

There have been many instances in which I think I really want something and feel incredibly disappointed when I don't get it. However, what I've found is that the absence of the thing that I had thought I wanted so bad opens the door for an opportunity or possibility that I'd never even imagined.

I doubt you wanted to be taller "with an inner exuberance that erupts through the skin and joins the energy that created the world" -- in fact, I doubt that "The Secret" fans or just about anybody has much idea what that really means.

Wanting that way means being willing to look completely fearlessly at what is, what you really want and why, and what getting what you want will involve.

Most of the time when people look that clearly, they find that they don't really want what they thought they wanted after all. But a couple times I have, and have decided to stick with my desire, and yup, I got it.

Not for FREE, but I got it.

I just see it as it's just my turn to have shitty luck, while people are getting whatever they need/want. Maybe I don't want it enough.

for me..not everything I wanted was exactly what I needed... Fate is a silly little thing...

I have gotten everything I have ever wanted when the desire came from my heart.
My EGO on the other hand has not always gotten what it wanted.

As of right now in my life, I believe I have gotten everthing I've ever needed. Maybe not what I want, since if I got that it probably would have been too much to handle.

@cjconnex It dawned on me after closing my response, one more tidbit of insight: no one is still living in our plane of existence who has realized EVERY desire, for life is nothing more than the sum of all experience; when there is NO THING left to be fulfilled, life as we know it ceases to serve any purpose. If death is one's destination, it seems prudent to choose the path with the greatest abundance of adventure and savour and relish every aspect of the journey. Always, always leave something on the table for another day.

The first thing you must recognize is that you never really desired to be taller; that's something that you most likely couldn't believe in with every fiber of your being. Being taller is your perception of a means to an end - you need to meditate on what is the ultimate objective which you can honestly accept as a possibility, then hold the vision in your mind as vividly as if it was already real.

Words like 'desperate' and 'want' should be abandoned since they vibrate with negative energy and usually result in unsatisfactory results.

If you make this simple paradigm shift (simple - not necessarily easy), you will be rewarded even beyond your wildest imagination as your perceptions evolve to ever greater expectations.
