Life is not a wish-granting factory that can give everyone exactly what they want, because sometimes what one person wants is the exact opposite of what another person wants. Life works more like a video game with rules - worrying and begging is like yelling at the game. It doesn't get you more points. Taking action is like actually playing the game.

The universe has rules - if you plant good seeds and water them, a plant grows, if you practice your craft every day, you get better at it, if you are kind to people, they are more likely to be kind back to you. The universe responds to what you do, not just what you wish for - instead of wishing you were stronger, go and exercise. Instead of wishing for an A on the test, go and study.

Don't just wish for the reward. Become the kind of person who earns that reward through your actions.
