HOW DO OUR WISHES COME TRUE?

Did you have breakfast today? How were you while preparing it? Was there any kind of ambition, effort-driven conditioning, or an excessive desire like lust when you opened the fridge, brewed tea, or sliced a tomato? I assume not. It was probably an ordinary, routine, effortless action.

Now, have you ever had a wish that you desired intensely, worked hard for, and constantly occupied your mind? A situation where you prayed, saying, "I hope this happens," such as buying a house, a car, or getting married? From what I have observed in both myself and many people around me, I assume you have experienced this too.

Now, here’s my next question: What happened after you got what you had been burning with desire for? How did you feel at that moment, but more importantly, how do you feel about it now? When you finally received what you had prayed for, are you still grateful for its existence? The answer is usually no. Once we obtain our desires, we get used to their presence, the situation becomes natural, routine, and even turns into something we start complaining about...

Have you ever thought about why people want things? The answers may vary personally—"When I get a car, I will travel more," "When I have a house, I won't have to pay rent," "Once I get a job, I will get married," and so on. But at the core of every desire, the fundamental reason is the mind’s need to sigh in relief and say, "Now, I am complete. I am fulfilled. I can finally stop struggling and just live life." It is about feeling at ease.

When our mind is in a state of desire and longing, we are in a consciousness of lack. We lose balance from pure awareness. As a result, we only see the positive aspects of what we desire. Because we are driven by hunger and craving, we fail to recognize the negatives or difficulties associated with our wishes. When we solely focus on the good sides, we drift away from pure consciousness, balance, and objectivity, falsely believing that what we want is only good and beneficial for us. But reality is not like that. True understanding is seeing both the good and the bad together, and choosing or desiring something despite its difficulties.

When something is desired from a state of pure consciousness, the mind is in balance. During the process of creation, there is no struggle—there is a state of presence. The mind, which sees reality as it is, takes action accordingly, leading to an outcome.

This is why I gave the breakfast example. When you woke up, having breakfast was your desire, your intention. You saw what was available, selected items accordingly, and took the necessary actions to fulfill your intention. You perceived the materials related to your intention, used them, and brought your wish to completion.

Where am I going with this? If we focus on our desires in life with the same presence (notice that I did not say want), our minds will recognize things related to our intention, our intelligence will process this data, and the outcome of our intention will naturally manifest. Thus, our desires will come to fruition effortlessly.

But what do we usually do instead? Let’s go back to the breakfast example for clarity. We wake up and want to have breakfast. But we don’t go to the kitchen. Worse, we don’t even get out of bed, and we pray, "God, please send me breakfast." Or, we go to the kitchen, open the fridge, and start complaining—"Ugh, who will slice the tomatoes now?" "Oh no, the cheese is almost finished." "The doorman hasn’t brought the bread yet." "Look at my spouse, still lying down instead of making tea." Our energy goes into complaining, and we lose the motivation to prepare breakfast. Eventually, we give up and go back to bed, thinking "It didn’t happen," blaming others, getting frustrated with ourselves—in short, placing ourselves into a state of lack while still waiting for our desire to come true.

Now, let me ask you—if there is no action toward an intention, and if we don’t position ourselves in environments that support our goal, how likely is it that our desires will be fulfilled?

In life, if we take action toward our desires without complaint, with a sense of presence, seeing what is available, aligning ourselves with our intention, and trusting our efforts—then we will see our wishes come true, one by one.

Destiny loves effort!
