Have you ever really wanted something so bad only to find out that when you got it that you didn't care nearly as much as you thought you did? Why does this happen. I think that we need to realize that many of our goals dreams and desires are dependent on contingencies. The when, where and How are just as important as the what.
So how the heck can we stop being so picky? After all, most of us would like to do anything that would allow us to be happy instead of bitter. Well to take a line from late night television, it's all about lowered expectations.
Now lowered expectations does not equate to lower goals. continue to aim high and refuse to settle for anything other than your best, but don't project your own personal mantra onto others lest you be willing to risk extreme disappointment. For when it comes to matters that impact you more than others, which is exactly what most personal desires are, it's not only unlikely that the others will care as much as you, but frankly it's natural.
And should you seek something that does not involve that aid or assistance of another human, make sure you reflect inward and evaluate yourself. If you don't end up happy, you only have yourself to blame.
