It seems like there are people out there that just get anything they want. They get good grades, are good at sports, have amazing friends, are good looking and never seem to be dissatisfied.

How is that possible? Is it just "luck" that gets them there? Is there a secret behind it?

I personally don't always get what I want. Life throws you curve balls but I think part of getting what you want is taking those changes in your life and creating opportunities from it. If something doesn't go as planned, why let it get to you? Make the best of it.

1. Career

Do You want this particular job? Go research it, find out what it takes, contact people, network. Job shadow, find an internship, apply for the position. Read about the job, educate yourself and build your resume.

2. Body

You want a body like that person at the gym? Go get it! Your body can be changed, don't blame it on genetics. It's your workouts and the food and drinks you put into your body that determine what it looks like. Sites like bodybuilding.com provide meal plans and workout plans geared towards different goals.

3. School

Get your assignments in on time, keep up with the syllabus, show up to class and do your readings and homework. Reach out if you need help and attend tutoring hours. Create a good relationship with your professors and reach out to them if you are struggling.

You don't get what you wish for in life, you get what you work for. You don't get the body you want by sitting on your couch watching Netflix, you don't get those grades up if you don't study.

There are people that get what they want, but they work for it, every day.
