The Bottom Line
To get what you really want today, try letting go and letting it come to you.

In Detail
Sometimes the best way to get something is to wait for it to come to you. Experiment with a more passive attitude about life -- give in a little more and let other people plot the course. Sitting in the back seat will give you a new perspective, and it will give some deserving folks their time in the sun. By the end of the day, you'll be a different place than you expected, but after you get your bearings, you'll enjoy checking out the surroundings.
