Musings: Do we really get what we wish for?

Well yeah, I have a blog post... In ages!

I really missed writing, well I didn't really stop (I wrote a fiction though... Story and details coming up later. )

So on this topic that has always been in my head, do we really get what we wish for?

Life can be funny sometimes, life can be hard, life can turn out to be a thousand things we don't want it to be. But yet again, we are always hopeful that we get exactly what we desire...

Health, money, academics, love... We always desire and hope that eventually everything turns out perfectly the way we want it to be.

But life can be a BITCH!

It can steer us in a different course, we always find ourselves in a bumpy hellish rollercoaster ride that can either catapult us into utopia or straight into the abyss.

But what do I know?

Someone once said to me 'Allow things to flow naturally, don't try to stop it, don't look at the future thinking you know all about it but yet you don't. Don't be in a hurry to 'mess things up'....

But what do I know? I know one thing though, I am my own kryptonite.

In the quest of figuring life out all at once, I tend to hit a snag. I tend to snap into a million pieces, I tend to let my synapses be all alert... Do I inadvertently alter the course of my future when I rush these things?

Maybe, maybe not.

I know something else though, my methods give me results. I don't have to stand on tippy toes waiting for things to happen, I let it happen. I get it done, I solve problems as they come.

I might not completely get what I wish for, but the important things happen.

And that is fine as long as they do.

So on this again 'Do we really get what we wish for?'

I think we do... Sometimes it ends up not being worth it and that is why they always say 'Be careful what you wish for'
