Why doesnt life give you what you want? Dr.Ken Harris has a few thoughts. For one, its because life is selfish, another is that life is also self serving, and life is about everybody else. At least thats hows it seems to Dr.Ken Harris, he says people go through life with the I want mentality and then fall apart when we dont get it. Would you agree with the sentiment that life doesnt give you what you want but it always gives you what you deserve? For many, its about the effort you put forth that give you your outcome.
