The above quote (from a little spiritual self-guide I used to read) is true...the only problem is it doesn't warn us that the "something better" is not of our thinking, not of our will, not necessarily of our desire.
The "something better" is whatever life serves us...and we get to go to God to realize the "better." To realize, just exactly how is this better? And then wait for the answer...God is not available on demand.
Our self will, or ego-victory thinking, will ever go for the solution that is prettiest, easiest, most beneficial to our self (or our self-image).
This is why self-discipline in spiritual matters is mandatory. God's will is akin to a hospital gown...one size fits all. If we're ever going to get comfortable in that...as in, be at peace...we need to discipline ourselves to seek his will rather than wait for him to adjust to ours.
Thank you.
