People say that if you wish hard enough your wishes will come true.  I don’t suppose there are many here who haven’t wished that they could win the lottery or get a bigger house or a better car.  I too wished for all of these but thinking back isn’t this just being a bit greedy?  If you can live with what you have why not be content and make the most of it.  You’re probably thinking ‘yeah right what do you know about it’.  Trust me I know what I’m talking about.  Four years ago I owned a 3 bedroomed house, a dream car and had the sort of salary where I was wondering what I could buy next.  I now live in a 1 bedroomed rented hose, my car has seen better days and I’m on half the salary I was on but I’m happy.  Money and material things don’t get you happiness.  They may make life a little more comfortable but will they make you happy?  When I lost everything I found that I lost a lot of friends.  The friends I have now like me for who I am not for what I have, they are real friends.  So remember, be careful what you wish for, you may just get it………. But at what expense?
