You can’t always get what you want. But sometimes you do… and you’re still not satisfied. This is one of life’s cruelest lessons. It’s summed up by the phrase «be careful what you wish for.» There are plenty of movies, shows, and books that remind us of this rule. We don’t always know what’s best for us, even if we think we do. Think of when you were a kid. You probably had an idea of what you wanted to do with your life when you were an adult. You fantasized about your job and your life. 

Now, think about if that had actually come to fruition. I don’t know about you, but being a fashion designer-marine biologist-firefighter-mermaid sounds kind of exhausting. We have to remain grateful for the wishes that we made that didn’t come true. Life has a way of humbling us and surprising us at every turn.
