Sometimes a person wishes, dreams and orders various good and even mind-blowing things. But nothing happens. Life or the Eternal Source of Prosperity, as some call it, is in no hurry to fulfill his wishes. They do not serve, although the person clearly ordered what he needs.
She ordered to become a young tall blonde with blue eyes, although the initial height is one and a half meters and for many years; to receive a billion dollars in inheritance, even if there are no rich relatives, to get a high position, it does not matter that education is seven classes, to become a great actor in Hollywood, although there is neither experience nor talent. And a person does not go to Hollywood, he expects to be invited. Or something else a good person has ordered and is waiting. But with each passing day, the expectations are getting stronger. Nothing happens! The waiter brings nothing!
A person's face is so sad, dissatisfied, and in front of his eyes, melancholy - life has failed! I didn't get what I wanted! Ordered and not received, this is a hoax and deception! One energetic American psychologist put it well; they say, if I come to McDonald's and order a lobster, they won't give it to me. He's just not on the menu. And you can cry from despair or start swearing - what's the point? No lobster on the menu. But there is much more. And you can choose something to your liking and affordable. And eat with gusto. And leave satisfied and satisfied.
So it is with life: you have to choose what is on our menu. What we are offered, what we can afford. And it is possible with the surprise of construction that there is a choice. It is quite possible to eat deliciously and be satisfied. There is no need to demand from life what is not on the menu, that's all. And grumble in disappointment, cry, accuse the waiter, scribble complaints to the owner of the cafe. And look with envy at others who eat lobster in another restaurant and for completely different money. The price of lobster is not the same as that of hamburgers, but this is also somehow forgotten.
This secret of success and contentment is to be able to try from what is offered to us. In accordance with our finances, age, abilities, at times, we live in ... Do not demand too much and gladly choose from the proposed. And then thank you for lunch - that's the secret of success and good mood. And lobsters - well; there will be lobsters someday. At another time and in another place
