You finally get what you want when you don't want it anymore

Is it true? "You finally get what you want when you don't want it anymore"? We all have some things in life that we want. For example, I wanted to pursue my career in this particular industry. I tried it out many times but didn't succeed. Somehow I always failed and felt like it was really not meant for me. So I stopped wanting it and started aiming for something else. But just when I stopped, that something I wanted comes swooping in my life again. It's like mocking or teasing me. Why now? Why would that "something" come now when I no longer want it anymore? Or maybe I still want it, but I already gave up on it. Have you guys had this experience before? Having something that you want and attempted getting it several times but failed to do so. Yet when you finally gave up it comes back around? Like for example you love a person so much and you tried to get him/her, but he/she still chose to be with someone else. And just when you found the right one for you, that girl/guy you wanted before comes around again to be with you.
I believe that there are things that are meant to happen, and things that are not. And the things that are simply at the "right time" and the "wrong time".
So, why do things come at the wrong time? Like this thing I "wanted". It just came now when I no longer wanted it, or when I no longer can pursue it because I'm already committed to something else. Is this just a test? What does it all mean? Should I give it up, or should I give it a second chance?

This is very common with pregnant women.
They crave for foods or wants something and once it is in front of them,or provided to them,they don't like/want it anymore.(hehehe)
Well,i can only remember when i ordered a shoes thru brochure,looking at it so beautiful.
But once it was delivered to me,I never thought it's not as good as it look in the picture.
Since it was ordered,I just took it and give it to my loved ones.

I've never been pregnant, so i don't know the feeling. Haha! But i guess it's really similar to that.

I believe that things come along as they should. Go with the flow. If the opportunity came when you are already committed, I don't think you're meant to go backwards and do that, I believe you're meant to proceed with your commitment.
Over the course of my life, I've learned not to "force" too much, the universe pretty much flows as it should.

HI PP!
While I read through your post I some up with an answer that it is just a test for you and here the last line you mentioned about whether it is just a test. For me yes it is just a test for you whether you are determined and you can stick with your decision or not. It is just the same like you aiming for B so you leave A, when you get the B, you look that A is better than B and you wonder should you get back to A? It is normal. Its actually show that we can make it even if it takes long time to get it. So whenever you want to achieve something you know you will have it so just get hard to it.Don't let it mock and tease you anymore.

If you are working on a good thing it is not wrong to keep trying and do it as long as yo have the guts to do so. Hope is a feeling that will keep the momentum to move towards your dream. There isn't thing which we can't do. I believe that we always can get whatever we dream in our real world as dreams and hope is the first thing to make it become a reality. Nothing has no means in this life pink.(^^)

I think it is really justa test for me. But i've already given it a second try, even a third, fourth and fifth try. I don't know when I should give it up, though. I always try to think there's still hope. Or should I just wake up to reality and realize it's not really meant for me?

This things happen as we have to go through several journeys in life and tests along the way make it easy or hard. We have to choose as we are given the free will,meaning choose what we think is right and suffer the consequences later. It is you alone can tell whether its time to give it up or make good of what's you have now. You have all your free will to guide you!

I know that it's me alone who can decide or myself. I hope that my free will makes up its mind soon. Haha, that sounded weird.

This happened to me several times already. I could relate it to someone I liked before but he didn't made a move when I was still free. When I had someone special in my life, called boyfriend already, that's the time he showed his affection to me. I wonder why this things happen. It'll just make things complicated. :)

It does make life complicated. But i guess it's just part of life. We can't have it all, I guess. :)

yes, maybe you should give it a second chance, we all know that everything we do everything has a purpose and meaning and it is already plan for us accordingly all we have to do is to wait and don't force our self to much and think why until now it is not yet given to us in which we ask for it for a long time, right. like what happened to you right now when you decide to stop that career that you want without you knowing it's going back and giving it all to you all you need is to go for it and just believe that everything will be okay soon.

I actually gave it numerous chances already. I just don't know if i should still go on or give it up already. I may be missing out on a lot of things just because i'm focusing too much on this one thing that I really want.
