Answer the question any way you want. You can be specific or general, serious or joking, deep or shallow. But make sure you answer the question: WHY do you deserve what you want?

I don't think I do always deserve to. I just kind of get it I guess. ...someone out there has been doing a sensational job taking care of me. Good question, thanks!

Physical death? You'd have to talk to God about that one, since I can't seem to die yet, the bastard (God has no father other than himself, so I'm using it in the literal sense for humour's sake, it's descriptive, not judgmental)...
On a more serious note, if you can't control what you desire, then there is no you in control, so you deserve what you get by conspiracy of the universal force, and do not deserve what you desire - which is something else entirely than what you think it is, if you're that out of control. People who "just have to have it" don't deserve it unless it is the best of all possibilities when everything is said and done, and since everything apparently isn't all said and done [though God knows], who are you or I to judge even for ourselves?
God bless.

Deserve, Desire - they have a nice ring together - nice choice of words.
I desire to find my soul mate, to find true love.
I thought I deserve it because it seems to me almost everyone else manages to find that special person - all the normal people get married and have children.
It's too late for children since I am 55, but it's not too late for my love and soul mate with or without marriage.
But then if I don't have what I desire and I have most passionately asked for it and tried to get it, then maybe I don't deserve it, although you put the question in a positive form.
But if I do deserve it, I deserve it because I am a good person or try to be and I deserve to be happy or relatively happy depending on whether finding my love and my soul mate will make me happy. Yes, everyone says you must make yourself happy first and love yourself first before another will join in.
OK, so I deserve to love myself so someone will love me.
Is that enough philosophizing in one question and answer?

No one deserves what one desires.... one only deserves based on what one does and even then, the equation of effort and result is so complex that no maths nor philosophy has ever been able to crack it. There is enough evidence to believe in causality, but the bundle of causes are so complex and out of sight and control that we end up unsure in the end. All I can say is that we can only assume we deserve what we ultimately get, one way or another.

Because I believe in it. Because I'm grateful for all that I have already. Because I've worked hard for it. Because it is my destiny. It is what I'm meant to do and have and be and the universe is telling me what I must do to get it...
We all deserve to be happy. It is our natural state of being. The universe is abundant. It wants us to succeed. We only have to believe that we can have it, believe that we deserve it & feel the love, joy and gratitude that it will bring us (even before we manifest it -- that's the tricky part!)
Peace out...

Nobody deserves anything in life. You either earn something or are given it, but you do not deserve it.

Who are you to determine that I deserve what I desire?

You will attempt to obtain what is needed whereas you will not have something you want.
It will seem necessary to have what you need and believe your desires are genuine.
