Childish Dreams or God's Will?

A co-worker said something to me that really shed some light on a struggle I've been having. I was telling her of my disappointment in not getting a manager title nor a raise for my title change. I need the money and desire to move out. She said, "From getting to know you, have you ever thought that perhaps you're not getting what you want because you really don't want it?" I asked what she meant and she said, "It seems your heart is more towards finding a husband, having children and making a difference in the lives of those you meet. While you love your job, perhaps you secretly love something else more?". There's more to the convo but I'll stop there so as not to bore you, you precious reader!

Perhaps God's plan and what's secretly in my heart is a shade different - hence it hasn't worked out? Heck, it might even be better!  I'm finding that sometimes childish dreams stubbornly remain and maybe it's because they aren't dreams...could they be God's will from day 1?
