... heading for home. The soft ray of the afternoon sun tenderly caressed my skin but hurt my eyes. So, I surrendered and I closed them. Being unable to see a thing with my eyes I started to see with my soul. Not only that I managed to avoid any obstacle but I also managed to see myself inside. I was pleasantly surprised realizing that I like what I see.
Happiness. No yearning. Fulfillment. No worries. I’ve looked back time to assess for how long I felt like this. I realized that it’s about an year.
I was skeptic: not even a cloud? Oh, but how many! Nagging. Harassing. Mocking. Even this day was one of these. They are coming and coming, hitting and hitting, so I was expecting the next blow. But a little piece of paper, a small notice heightened me from the worst state of mind to the supreme one. If I wasn’t such a strong-willed person I’d probably gone nuts.
So, nothing’s new, I’m having a regular life with ups and downs like any other person, like I have been having since I know myself. Yes, but now all my wishes come true, all my dreams. Even the most insignificant ones, like that announced by that small piece of paper.
How come all of the sudden all, and I mean ALL, are coming true? What did I do to merit it? Or is just only a false impression of mine? Shit happens every day in my life but I just don’t bother to notice anymore, to feel pain. Should it be that? Am I emphasizing the goods and denying the bads?
Or maybe I’m able to realize in a split second which things are highly improbable to happen and I cool down. And when they do happen, with that less then 0.001% chance, they take me by surprise, lifting me, making me dance.
Once I talked to a lady friend about this gift, I kept wondering why I’m so lucky and why there is only one wish that stubbornly avoids me. Exasperatedly and a little envying me, she said “Because you don’t want it enough!” I’ve shut up for a long moment and I had to admit she might be quite right.
Ok, so the secrete is to wish it from the bottom of your heart? Not really! Another friend of mine told me “There is a reason for each event in this world. If a leaf falls at your feet and not long before or after you cross by, is for a certain reason. You might not be able to see the purpose instantly but you’ll might remember that leaf in a very special moment of your life. That recalling may help you to make a decision. And here you go, your life just turning path because of such a small and insignificant incident.”
I said “I don’t believe that we cannot change our life if we really want.” He replied “I couldn’t agree more! But that falling leaf is just an information you receive. If you choose to use it or not is YOUR decision. So, your decision and only yours changes your life. As many leafs you ‘receive’ as correct your decision will be. On the other hand, don’t forget that whether you acknowledge or not that leaf, is also YOUR decision.”
They were both right. You need to really wish a thing, to make an effort to gather all the information you are given and to finally decide whether that wish will improve your life or not, if it’s worth fighting for. If you realize that is not vital you’ll not long anymore feeling unfulfilled, but if you decide to use your knowledge to succeed you’ll almost certainly reach that wish.
It’s fate or science and training? What’s YOUR DECISION about that?
