Every level of growth will always demand more from you.
The question really isn't "do you really want what you're hoping for?"
It is more like "Are you really ready for what you're hoping for?"

The good life and good things we pray for will always demand more from us.
Let's take for example a big fancy house, everyone wants that. Now, see how much it would take to clean and maintain that house compared to the regular or average house. Just take a moment to think of it.
We always imagine that when that good thing happens, our lives will feel so much better, which is true but that good thing is coming with a demand too, let's think about that and create capacity for the things we want.
Good things are sustained in capacitated hands.

A good body will demand some efforts and hard work. Especially good eating habits.
This also reflects on our relationships. Everyone wants a good partner with certain characteristics or a beautiful relationship. But it also comes with a level of thoughtfulness, understanding, wisdom, sacrifice and mindfulness. Many people don't prepare themselves for this, that's why when things go south, they easily want to back up.
Whenever you think of receiving, you also have to think of what to give for it.

Self development and investment is one of the most important aspect to get those desires of our hearts and also sustain them.
