Do you believe in fate and wishful thinking?

Question: Do you believe in fate and wishful thinking!?

Recently a lot of things I have "wished" for have been coming true!. It's quite strange because I am usually an unlucky person but recently I have been on a bit of a lucky streak!. also a lot of things that have happened I feel is due to fate because it is like "if this had happened then that wouldnt have happened and I wouldnt be in the position I am now" lol confusing I know but does anyone else seem to have this wishful power !?Www@QuestionHome@Com

I believe in fate but i dont think i believe in wishful thinking or as you might call it-luck!. Yes everyone sometimes has lucky streaks and some people may have bad luck for a while!. Then again why is it i believe in fate but not luck!. They have almost the same exact meaning!. Luck meaning can also mean "fortune" and what exactly is luck!?

Yes, I do believe in FATE but before all you've to know, WHAT is FATE!? Please do not open English book or dictionary----since a little boy even knows the 'meaning' of this much-said word!. Actually, whatever Happens, is FATE!. Look, it's 8:16 am morning here & I was supposed to visit a close relative at a hospital bed within 7:30am!. So, I had finished my breakfast at 6:30 am (normally I take it at 9:00 am)!. A call came from another relative that the patient is been released from hospital last night! And then WHAT!? I'm in front of your question! this is FATE!. As it has happened, I believe it!. Wishing "something & getting" is termed as being 'LUCKY ---that's not true!. You've to consider that the particular thing was very due----so it happened!. It might be a coincidence when you wish 'things after thing' & find 'getting & getting'! It won't happen always!. Some say, FATE is written in advance huh huh huh ----so funny! One of my friends visited an astrologer & was been told, at his age 30, he was going to be a rich guy! He was so happy! He eventually did nothing rather waiting for his being 30!. And now he uses to borrow money from our friends circle! :-(Www@QuestionHome@Com

Maybe it is God trying to show you all the wonderful things you can have in your life!. This happened to me!. He showed me wondrous things and I was amazed every day, or so it seemed!. I was on Cloud Nine! But, in my case, I took it all for granted!. I did not know that I had to give something back, to keep it going!. Nothing is free in this life! I would try to find the root of your good fortune and take from there!. God is the best place to start!Www@QuestionHome@Com
