If all your dreams came true

#newdaynewchapter is a Blog narrative started on March 1, 2021 co-founded by Kishore Shintre & Sonia Bedi, to write a new chapter everyday for making "Life" and not just making a "living"
Our desires have no end! At the same time, I'd completely dread if something came true from wishing for it ten years ago. I think we do not have that kind of power to instantly manifest, or even manifest everything without some kind of restraint, simply because we would create a mess in the universe if we were led to manage our own lives as we pleased.Also, if everything is our way, there's no learning, there's no fun. We take it for granted and become spoilt brats.
So, I definitely wouldn't all my dreams coming true for everyone's sake! At the same time, when a dream does become a reality, it's so dearly cherished! I will probably have no motivation to live, it may turn like learning process may stop, since during a life span anyone in this good world has too much to learn. Our brain is active and motivating us to move towards an unknown journey. Condition will be similar to the situation when we visit some relatives after having lunch at home. My life will become so boring and bad. My behaviour will change just not towards all but for me also. I will be out of civilization too. So I believe for me all my wishes should not come true, at least I am moving and able to give oxygen to my brain.
If I suddenly found myself with everything I ever wanted, I think I would give a lot of it away to charity and needy people. Over the course of my life I have felt like I have wanted and needed many things, but as an adult in a not-so-great financial situation, I realise that I already have everything that I needed. Roof over my head, bills met, food on the table. I often find myself in a “well…who needs it more, me or them?” quandary, and usually conclude that I don't need it as much as the other person. I suspect that getting everything I ever wanted would pan out the same way.
Getting what you want is the easiest thing in the world. What is harder is realising the difference between what you really want and what you only think you want - and that usually only happens after you have gotten a whole bunch of things that you didn’t think about enough before asking for them. Then, there is what you need - again, as opposed to what you think you need. And a lot of these are unpleasant, so they are hard to ask for. Don’t worry, getting and having everything you want is just the beginning.
And if it's there for you it will come to you. Because this is a test from the god. He tests us whether we are capable enough to get the wishes we wish we could have. If I would have everything I wished I would go around and ask people for their wishes and help them in getting their wishes to their capabilities as I'm able to wish and get anything. I seek not to serve myself as much as what is best for the group or community.
I suspect it’s highly unlikely I will see equality for all, fairness, kindness and tolerance and non separation on the world stage. In that process my little personal list will become outshone by the larger desires of the spiritual qualities appearing through the actions of world leaders. My list includes the elimination of selfishness and the negation of unkindness. I am unsure as to the appropriate relevance of my own wish list for the greater good. I seek to heal not hurt, to serve and not exact due service.
As does humanity as a whole have some way to go before we can truly step into the light. The saying, be careful what you wish for, you just might get it, has featured largely in my life experience so as someone who has experienced and witnessed the dreams and wishes of others coming to fruition and the aftermath, I am very careful now to tone my list down. Cheers!
