Often we say we want something, but then quickly change our mind or are so ambiguous about what we really want we wouldn't even know if we got it. I believe God (Higher Power, Universe, Supreme Being) wants us to have the best of what we can have and yet, if we are unclear how can God possibly give us what we what. The amazing part of all of this though is often what we think we want may not be in our highest good.
