is it possible to be what you want in this life?

Question

But doesn't every one have restrictions? Lets say a Guy wants to be a basketball player but he is paralized. why do people still say you can become whatever you want.

lets say then you wanted to be a pilot but don't have eye sight, you get my picture.

Answer 1

Yes, that's bothered me, too. You can't be just anything that flits through your mind. But you can strive to be better than you are, and you can go into just about any field that you want. After that- "bloom where you are planted,"

Answer 2

It is possible that everyone visiting Yahoo today is going to win the New York Lotto tomorrow. Possible but not probable! You have the possibility of doing many things in life but the most successful are those that choose wisely and within some practical reasoning! The more frivolous and trite the less likely!

Answer 3

It is possible if what you want in this life is for God's Will to reign over your life. Then you will be what God wants you to be. If you follow God's plan, then you will be happier. Pray that God's Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Or, if you choose to believe there is no God and no purpose in your life then you will be frustrated. You will set your sights on a specific goal and you may fall far from achieving that goal and that will make you angry. Or you could achieve that specific goal and think you are happy but feel a void inside having never achieved the things God planned for you.

Because what if your goal was not God's will? What have you achieved?

"For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul?"

I don't know about you but I am going to continue to pray that God's Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. That works for me.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

Answer 4

I think you are too close minded. They have special Olympics for a reason. Because people are determined to fight against their disadvantages and do what it is in their heart that they want to do. If you really want to do something or be someone, you will do what it takes to become that person. Not everyone can be the "best" at everything. Just because you are not the best, are you saying you should just give up on your dreams? Doesn't sound logical to me.

Answer 5

When people say you can become whatever you want, it means that you become what you think of yourself. If you think you can do a thing, a courage will devolop in you to do that. If you think you cannot, the fear of losing will restrict you from winning, even if you are capable of winning. Thats the power of self confidence.

However, despite having self confidence we may not be able to completely overcome physical disability, but still the positive attitude can give you the strength to face that with a smile and the courage to accept your situation without any regret on life. Hence it brings peace and happiness. thats what is more important in life. right ?

You may not be able to become a basket ball player, if you are physically disabled. but if you have a positive attitude you can encourage others. You can cheer them to win. Even you can find the techniques of the game and teach to others. you may not play but you can make others to play and even win.

Braile was blind. As a result of that he himself couldn't read. but the world knows that today millions of blind people in the world are able to read because of him.

Life may not be a bed of roses. It may be filled with hardships and troubles. but with a proper balance of mind, positive attitude, self confidence, kindness, love, humanity and helping nature, we can transform it into the way we want it to happen. Good Luck. Bye

Answer 6

He can still be a basketball player, but will play for special olympics. I wanted to be a writer and a teacher as a young girl. Today I teach writing. Ha.

Answer 7

I understand what you mean. I have often been frustrated by the illusion that you can do whatever you want. I think that kind of thinking can only lead to wanting more...

I say, do as much as you can with your god given talents and most importantly, be nice to the people around you.

Answer 9

Hope is the foundation of living, without the hope, the pressure and stress of life eventually hinders your judgment to live.
No...we all can't get what we want in life, but the desire to have it gives us a purpose to live. Everyone is worried about the purpose of life without realizing that there are none, but the fiber of creative imagination we have dwelled ourselves in. Our reality is a dream, diversed from fabrics of our imagination, and our dreams, our deepest desire. We have always wonder, does our imagination in life develop from our subconsious dreams protraying it's role in life? Anyways....humans needs desire and wants, be it gives us a purpose to live. Only thing is, you must learn to want without the "get", because if you accomplish one desire, another will eventually develop, and prehaps if not, you have lost your purpose in life.
