Did you ever notice how the only time anyone ever says "be careful what you wish for" is when they think something bad might happen? Well, experimenter of theories that I am, about a year ago I decided to turn that theory around - I decided to be careful what I wished for, but in a good way.
I had everything that I ever wanted: I made (almost) a six figure salary, nice car, my own condo decorated with brand new custom furniture. But I still didn't feel satisfied, I just wasn't happy. I realized that I had just coasted my whole life and maybe it was time to put a little effort into my life. I quit my job and set off a series of events that changed my life forever.
I learned that I can be happy - not just 'having a good day' happy but deep down to the soul happy. I learned that I have the ability to do and/or be anything that I want... as long as I want to work at it. And I learned peace.
So now I'm very careful about what I wish for... because I'm going to get it.
