You get what you wish for........

Does anyone else hold the belief that it you really want something that you will get it ? I mean you have to really, really, really want it, no half hearted attempts !!!

I have always felt this way and usually end up getting the things that I want. My friends seem to think that I am just lucky, but I believe otherwise.

Also do you believe that when things happen, that 'it was meant to be'? Sometimes I like this attitude, beacause it lets you off the hook in a way. Sometimes it infuriates me when somebody says this, like fate has taken over their life and they cannot control it, it seems a silly way to live.

What do you think ?

I personally don't believe that you get what you wish for if you really, really want it. Or at least, is not the case for me. Maybe it is luck???

I do however believe that all things happen for a reason. We might not always be aware of what that reason is though and it may never be revealed to us. Sometimes it infuriates me too especially when in the black hole. Why do I need to be there so often? Am I being punished? And if so, what is so horrible that I have done to deserve the black hole??? I think it feeds into my feelings of self-worth or my lack of feelings of self-worth. If I am in the black hole then I am not worthy of being happy. If there is a reason for everything then I am obviously not getting it as I inevitably end up in the same place so often. Maybe the powers to be need to not be so subtle with what the reason is.

What do you think?
