Our wishes always come true..we just didn't know we wished it!

While repling to a response of one of my discussions I realized that ... Our wishes always come true..we just didn't know we wished it!... Example.. A wish to be rich.. what does it really mean? It is just a wish for happiness but most people mistake what happiness is made of.. Some think it is sunshine and never a cloud!... If you never had a cloudy day ..would a sunny one be special or would it be run of the mill.. So that wish to be rich is because the wisher believes riches can buy happiness..I have the feeling that wisher will never find happiness even when given millions.. Any thoughts? xoxoxoxox

You are so right Raydene, and we should be careful what we wish for. Riches do not bring happiness. Happiness comes in giving from the heart, without any thoughts of it being returned. So my wish is just to be happy!

I am not greedy, I am needy. I think those of us that don't have alot of money do wish to be rich. I don't need to be "rich". I am "rich" in other ways other then money. It would be nice to have enough money to not have to worry about how the bills are going to be paid. Your words are true. If you never know sadness how will you know happiness. If you don't know what its like to be cold, how will you know when you are warm. I think its human nature to always want more. I will tell you one thing I wish for........is for all my Mylot friends to have a most Joyous New Year.

All I can say sweetheart is becareful what you wish for it may come true! I remember a long time ago in a galaxy far far away when I used to wish desperately to have a relationship! I thought I wasn't wanted and I felt like a freak not having a partner. Then my wish come true and believe me I hated being in a relationship and wished to hell to be single again! So I am always careful now what I wish for, everything comes at a price, some wishes are costly some are bargain basement hugs xxxx

Those are the things that money can't buy yet it is most precious. It is always taken for granted, sometimes ignore, sometimes forgotten. Spending time with the people with love and care. Even watching them smile and laugh or even take time to listen to them. We have made them happy. People usually thinks of money.. not all do though. But to me money is only needed to buy things we need to live. But there are other ways to survive with only little money. What is more important to me are the things that money can't buy. Simple they maybe but it enriches the soul and soothing to the heart.

You are so right, Raydene. We make our own happiness and it is a choice, just like love. It is our choice whether to love someone or not. Material things cannot make one happy if we don't have love. One can be rich and still not be happy if he doesn't learn the act of giving and helping others in need. My greatest wish is to be able to give to those in need which makes others happy. True happiness comes from within, even on the rainy days.

I think there's definitely something to this, Raydene, and I might add the saying "Be careful what you wish for" is really a good one! Like "The grass is always greener..." You're right also that for some, happiness will simply never come because if they get one thing they wished for then they'll decide they need something else, whether it's a material possession or money or, as you said, a sunny day! They'll want more "stuff", more money, brighter sunshine or a higher (or lower) temperature. Then lower humidity, less wind or more of a breeze or some puffy clouds to break the monotony of a perfectly blue sky. Annie
