Steps to getting what you WANT

Just as I was thinking about this particular subject -getting what we want in life, I thought let me google that and see what comes up :D and totally not to my surprise, there were LOTS of sites which said "Top 7 tips to get what you want" while another gave a discounted number of steps of "5 steps to getting anything you want"..hehehe..I thought if I search a little more I could reduce the number of steps to maybe a 3 step/1 step ;)
So it is because of the lack of these supposedly 'n' steps that we take, that what we want slips away from our hands? I don't think so..Like Madam Ogie said in the movie "Princess and the Frog" - what we NEED is more important that what we WANT. Confusing??
OK Lemme explain..you might want a big car, a beautiful house, a lovely wife, an awesome job....you would be thinking if I have all that, I would be happy and satisfied. NO! Because these are all your wants..behind which there lies some needs. Some very basic needs..the need to be loved, the need to be cared for, the need of security. It is basically these needs that we need to cater to in life(Just my opinion!)
I think the basic need of any human being is to love and be loved. The world would be tranformed if just that little thing is there in all human beings towards everything in their life. I have always felt that we have no clarity as to what we want in life ..ok lemme remove the 'WE' and make it 'I' cos u never know there may be awesome people who know exactly what they want in life and go after that and achieve it. But then what? Once you have achieved what you want, what to do with the rest of your life? Find a new WANT? I have felt in many cases that for me, not getting what I wanted at that particular time has turned out to be a blessing. It may be the case for many of you since we don't really know if that what we want is really something that we need.
This does not mean that you should not want anything in your life :) I only mean to say that anything that you want is available to you in the Universe, but really really think if that is what you need.
Once you have found what your WANT really is..which would be more of a NEED, there will be no force in the Universe that can stop you from getting that.
So now you know the 1 step way to get what you want;)
