Wanting

It seems that the more you want something, the harder it is to get...
the more you try to attain it,
the more time and attention you invest in it,
the more you think about it..the more it seems to be unattainable.
Whether it be a job, affection, a style of living...
Why do the things we want play hard to get?
The more fixated we become, the more other things come our way that do not interest us...
Is the answer to want what we can get instead of what we want?

Then when we tire from wanting things that don't want us,
when we stop caring...
the things that we were after come to us...without any effort on our part;
as if they were always there, waiting for us to calm down and ignore them.
