What you want, wants you - to seek for it!

In the biblical book of Matthew, chapter 7, verse 7, Jesus delivered a profound promise that has echoed through millennia: "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." This isn't just a spiritual suggestion; it's a universal principle for achievement, a blueprint for turning desire into reality.

The universe doesn't passively grant wishes to those who merely hope. It responds to action. The things you desire—success, fulfillment, growth, opportunity—are not hiding from you. In a way, they are also seeking you. They are looking for a person with the right mindset, the right preparation, and the right level of persistence to bring them into existence.

"Your aspirations are not distant stars to be wished upon; they are doors waiting for you to knock."

Asking is the first step. It is the act of defining your intention with clarity and purpose. What do you truly want? Voicing it, writing it down, and declaring it is a powerful act of creation. It transforms a vague daydream into a tangible goal.

Seeking is the journey. It is the active pursuit of knowledge, the development of skills, the building of networks, and the relentless search for pathways that lead to your goal. It requires curiosity, resilience, and the willingness to step into the unknown. When you seek, you are signaling to the world that you are ready to do the work.

Knocking is the moment of opportunity. It is the courage to present your proposal, to apply for the position, to launch the business, to have the difficult conversation. It’s the point where preparation meets action. Not every door will open on the first knock, but persistence is the key that eventually turns the lock.

Everything you want in life is on the other side of asking, seeking, and knocking. The opportunities are there, waiting for someone with the courage and determination to claim them. Understand this: what you want, wants you. It's waiting for you to seek for it.
