"If you want something in life reach out and grab it."

The sentence shown above has been said many times, but it can be interpreted in different ways.  This phrase can be more for people that have things that are readily available to obtain, but the person is too shy or too lazy to just get, or at least try to get what they want. Moreover, to grab is a metaphor; in this context means: if you want to have something, then do all necessary to get it. That means that if you really, really wan't something, then you should grab it, you should never miss the appretonitie. That also means that you have maybe only one chance; you have to work hard to get it! You have to stick for it and never let go! To some extent, applied to life in general it means: never give up, never let others decide for you, never be afraid to make mistakes; but learn from them and do it better the next time.  Unfortunately, this phrase is simply not true (in many cases at least). Many times people want things which they can never have, no matter what they’ll do. It’s frustrating but that’s how it is. The ancient Stoic school explained that the problem, in fact, is our desire to possess things we can not have, and if you accept things as they are (the opposite of “grabbing it” !), you’ll be happy. In conclusion, the final point is to never just wait for good things to come to you, if you see any good opportunity, take it. Life is too short. If you let things you want slip away, you may never get a crack and have them again. It means that if you sit back and expect life to come to you, you'll be disappointed... If you want things, you need to grab them for yourself... The phrase means you have to try to get what you want and you can't just sit and wait. Don't let opportunities pass you by...If you feel it's right for you go for it.
