When God answers with a "no"

This is something that's been on my mind a lot lately.  There are some people who are going to go through life wanting something, praying for something, and they are never going to get what they want.  Myself included.  At least that's my take on it.  I'm not talking about that expensive car or a house on the beach.  I'm talking about more spiritual/relationship type stuff here.  I just can't see where some of the things that I am praying for are going to happen, in relation to myself that is.  And I know that all seems negative, but here comes the positive.  The positive thing is for me to quit being negative about getting what I want and rebelling when I feel that God is saying no.  What I need to do is be positive: keep praying, keep reading my Bible, and keep seeking God.  It's when I stop doing these things that the negativity starts to creep in and I stop praying, reading, seeking.  By seeking God and continuing to pray, I believe that some of the things I'm praying for will turn more to match his will and what I thought I wanted won't really be what I needed and what I start to want will be what He wants.  There are still some things that I may want that I will never have but if I keep praying and seeking God, my faith will be stronger and my relationship with him better.  After all, it's not about what the rest of my life will be like.  It should really be about how what I'm doing and what I'm praying for is going to effect eternity.
