You can't always get what you want

I was taught from a very young age that if you worked hard enough you could accomplish anything. I think it is true, in most cases. However, I have had to realize that even when we work really really hard, and we want something really really badly, we don't always get what we want.

I am one who also likes to hold out hope. Hope in spite of unbelievable odds, hope when it defies logic and reason. So it takes me a long while to finally confront that I really am not going to get what I want. Sad.

As the song goes... You get what you need. I am not yet convinced of this....I suppose only time will tell.
