I Don't Get What I Want

I don't get what I want, I get what I am. Regardless of how much I may want something, I will never get it unless I become like that thing I want. Here are some examples to explain this concept:

• I may want eternal life, but if I am an atheist then too bad, I am not going to get it.
• My children may want good grades but if they are not good listeners and studious then too bad, they are going to fail.
• I may want the best wife in the world but if I am not the best husband in the world, then too bad, I am stuck with a bad marriage.
• I may want good health, but if I am an alcoholic then I am going to get bad health.
• I may want a better job, but if I am lazy, then I'll never be happy at any job.
• I may want happiness in my life, but if I have a bad attitude and am irritable, then I will be dissatisfied with life.
