It's nice to believe that Life works that way, but it doesn't. I'm not trying to dull your enthusiasm; I'm trying to offer you good advice. For example: all the focus in the world will not get me a job in Asheville, NC, where there are already thousands out of work. Additionally, should we take your advice and simply go there, I'd be without work and the welfare of my wife, her cat, and our dog would be in jeopardy. I've remained focused on this desire for more than seven years now. For that time it has been my only wish. You simply can not make things happen that will not happen. Want it all you want, ache for it, yearn for it, pray for it. If there are no jobs available in Asheville, you ain't gettin' a job in Asheville. It's nice to maintain a positive outlook, and probably a good general approach to life, but that doesn't mean we can make things happen by any means. It is nice that things work out for those that they work out for. Be thankful. It’s not true what you say. It’s nice to believe that Life works that way, but it doesn’t.

I would be in some foreign country studying the culture, language and experimenting with different foods that they have to offer. However, that cannot happen because well I am a kid. I want so many things to happen but “determination” can still get you nowhere. I am one of the best students in my school and I want to do many things, but sadly I cannot. I always try too, but I just cannot make what I want happen. Advice from teachers don’t mean anything if you cannot use them and learn from them. You are one hundred percent right that if you have the will and strength, you are able to get through anything. However, not everything can go as planned, not everything can happen the way you view it, and if you do follow your dreams sometimes you can hurt the people around you in different ways.

Jamie, Just want to thank you for this, I was at home thinking on what to read, what book to buy to help me get out of my own mental prison, and I found you.. I am a 34 yrs old woman live day by day, pay check to pay check and I'm a single parent with no family. I do believe what you say we must go out and make things happen but in my case I feel I have no motivation or support to push me to do all things I would love to do, maybe depression or no motivation, or lack of opportunity. I have had a rough life losing both my parents at a young age and not having a family to help me so I depend only on me. I have lots of goals but don't know how to get motivated to go out and make things happen because of all the things life has thrown at me that discouraged me. Any advice?? Hi! Jamie,

Have to give out an AMEN to the bit about focus. And it IS hard to tell yourself that you are going to expend your energy/talent/focus on one specific things when there are so many out there just begging for your time as well, but if you spread yourself out, I find that you wind up feeling like NOTHING is getting accomplished or at least, not in the way you want to accomplish them. Thanks for your work, I'm definitely subscribing. Very new to this blog thing, btw, but I am trying to...focus...on it more :) Hey there, I’m new to your blog and am digging the visual elements but no surprise there, since you’re a designer!

I always lived pessimistically and it had served me well. No expectation, so worries, just wait for your time to die. I eat all I want, don't expect any finer things in life and return none as well. I do work just enough to live my life. WHY CAN'T YOU is not for everyone, its only for those who wants more in life than they already have. For those people I wish all the best. Just in case your wondering why I even bothered to comment at all. Well, its simple answer, I felt like it. Easier said than done. I always lived pessimistically and it had served me well.
