Description

 
Two economist are walking past a car dealership and see a fully restored 1967 Chevy Camaro for sale and one of the economist says wow – I really want that car. And the other economist laughs and says no you don’t. 
The last thing you want to do is explain a joke, but since that joke isn’t inherently funny we will make this exception.
If the economist really wanted the car he would be willing to part way with his money for that car. Or if he didn’t have the money he would get an extra job earn extra money to obtain that car. Since he wasn’t willing to make the tradeoff then he didn’t “really want to get that car”
Common shortcoming for all of us
A lot of things in life we want to have but we are not willing to do the work to do what it takes to obtain it
Adam and Eve is an example of people wanting what they have not earned
[7:20] The devil whispered to them, in order to reveal their bodies, which were invisible to them. He said, "Your Lord did not forbid you from this tree, except to prevent you from becoming angels, and from attaining eternal existence."
[20:120] But the devil whispered to him, saying, "O Adam, let me show you the tree of eternity and unending kingship."

The Sedentary
[9:42] If there were a quick material gain, and a short journey, they would have followed you. But the striving is just too much for them. They will swear by GOD: "If we could, we would have mobilized with you." They thus hurt themselves, and GOD knows that they are liars.
[17:11] The human being often prays for something that may hurt him, thinking that he is praying for something good. The human being is impatient. 
[21:37] The human being is impatient by nature. I will inevitably show you My signs; do not be in such a hurry.
The Secret – The law of attraction – whatever you think about you will attract 
People think about wanting money and all they get is more wanting of money
God knows exactly how much we can handle and if He was to give us one penny more than we can handle we would transgress.
Materials of This World: All That The Disbelievers Get
[43:33] If it were not that all the people might become one (disbelieving) congregation, we would have granted everyone who disbelieves in the Most Gracious mansions with silver roofs, and stairs upon which they could climb. [43:34] Their mansions would have impressive gates, and luxurious furnishings. [43:35] Also many ornaments. All these are the temporary materials of this lowly life. The Hereafter—at your Lord—is far better for the righteous.
Growth only occurs in states of discomfort
Moses with his teacher – how can you stand that which you do not understand 
Karate Kid – wax on wax off
So instead of asking for more provisions think about asking God for the ability to handle more provisions
Solomon's Exemplary Devotion
[38:30] To David we granted Solomon; a good and obedient servant.
[38:31] One day he became preoccupied with beautiful horses, until the night fell.
[38:32] He then said, "I enjoyed the material things more than I enjoyed worshiping my Lord, until the sun was gone.
[38:33] "Bring them back." (To bid farewell,) he rubbed their legs and necks.
[38:34] We thus put Solomon to the test; we blessed him with vast material wealth, but he steadfastly submitted.*
