Am I missing something? The writer claims:

>The reason you don't have what you want is because you don't want it badly enough.

That is absurd. And I say that as someone who has nearly everything material I might want in life. Wanting something really, really badly doesn't ensure that you are going to get it.

Consider every failed startup. Those founders just didn't want it enough?

I don't get it, and I also don't get the second sentence:

>Then the next question is: Do you want to be happy or do you want to achieve what you want?

What if the thing you want to achieve is being happy? Why can't those be the same?

I feel like something is going way over my head here, but I'm not sure what it is.

I think the point is: if you truly want something, you'll get it or die trying. Being happy, then, is at some point accepting that you don't actually want the things you don't have yet.
