According to bestselling author John Gray, the biggest challenge in life is not just getting what you want, but also continuing to want what you have. After individuals learn how to go after and get what they want, they soon find that they no longer enjoy it. A sense that something’s missing disturbs their peace of mind, and they’re not happy with themselves, relationships, health, or work. On the other end of the spectrum, there are individuals who are sufficiently content with who they are, what they do, and what they have. Yet, they seem to have trouble figuring out how to get more of what they want or make their dreams come true. In How to Get What You Want and Want What You Have, Gray maintains that most people fit somewhere between these two extremes. He stresses that personal success is measured by how good you feel about who you are, what you’ve done, and what you have. The good news is that personal success is within our grasp, but we must clearly know what it is and set our intentions to have it. Encouraging readers that there is a secret to personal success, Gray offers wisdom such as:

• There are ten love needs, or love vitamins. To achieve personal success, you need each love vitamin. To immediately be free of struggle and begin to experience your power to create and attract success in your life, these love vitamins are essential.
• To fill our first and most important love tank, we need to feel our connection to God. There are many ways to do that. Meditation is a very powerful way. Although it is not linked to a particular religion, meditation supports all spiritual traditions.
• One of the major reasons we remain blocked is that we have suppressed certain emotions for years. Sometimes the emotion we need to feel and release is an emotion that we don’t give ourselves permission to feel. Someone may be very good at anger, but not good at sadness. He may easily feel sorry, but not jealous. She may feel scared, but unable to feel anger. To release a block, we must give ourselves permission to feel all twelve of the pure negative emotions.
