Unattainable on knees

What do you do when life is reluctant to give you the only thing you've ever asked for? Do you try looking for ways to get yourself the thing or do you wander about with a void in your heart and dried tears in the realms of your eyes? Do you cry yourself to bed or remain awake in wait of that unattainable dream you so earnestly desire to have? I don’t know about the way you deal with this situation (which I’m sure has occurred in everyone’s life at least once) but for someone who has never known and remembered a single instance where (s) he was denied any thing (s) he really wanted; it is extremely difficult to not think of the thing (s) he does not only wish to have but has also grown to fall in love with. Such people probably seek out and strive to get themselves the thing they love. They probably fight all odds of life and win what fate couldn't grant them.  I've always wondered, what’s so unique in an achiever that is envied by all non-achievers, what is so different that makes them get everything they want while others still remain empty handed and heartbroken.
Obviously the pain, the realization and the acceptance of the unattainable kills a part of a person every day. It’s like; you get up every morning with hopes of getting your dream and are left dejected at the end of the day.  While level of determination and perseverance differs from person to person, what remains same for every one is the burden of the unattainable carried in the heart which happens to only increase with each passing day. Even the strongest person would someday break down if this continues for a long time. There is definitely nothing as dejecting as your emotions and desires going unreciprocated by the one you adore or by life itself!
But on the brighter side, it’s making you resistant to any sort of pain. You die every day because of the unattainable thing of your life but each morning you do get up with a hopeful heart, energetic hands ready to deal with any plausible hindrance and a smile (even if it’s visible to you alone)  and look forward to the probable gift of the unattainable that life might bestow you with! Is it not surviving and getting immune to death? Well, I don’t know how you see it but for someone who has never been denied a single thing by life; it is the only way (s) he convinces fate to grant what otherwise wasn't destined for him/her. The thing that makes an achiever a person so enviable by the non achievers is this enigmatic and unspoken virtue of surviving the daily trivial deaths surmounted with the vision of getting through the actual death by making the unattainable  approach them on their knees!
