No, they don't. If that were the case, I'd be a billionaire and have a 25 year old babe on each arm.
Wishing can be useful if they help you to get a picture of the things you want and the things you hope to achieve. Then you can do everything in your power to make them real. Wishing in a lotus position, or praying for God to give you the things you desire, will get you nice dreams but nothing of substance.
Not childlike wishes (wish i was a bird )! It depends on what you wish for! If you pray for something well God hears you. If you love some thing you will get to it ! And if you try for something you will get to it ! Nothing's impossible in this world ! Find a way or build a way !!
If it's meant to happen, then maybe.
Wishes come true of course, if you work for them. As I always use to say it: Try hard,fight hard,stay positive, sweat, suffer & sacrifice. Never give up then you'll reach the success you want.
Some people dream of success, some people stay awake to achieve it.
If you just wish, nothing will happen, but if you have a wish, work on it, pass your tests, prove you deserve what you want, then get it.
also by personal experience, i discovered, sometimes life is about "must & unmust" if you want something, try & try don't give up, but if you tried so much & nothing happened, means it don't mean to happen that's not something you should do or have or be into it.
That is not your path & sometimes it's vise versa.
No not really. I mean when you have a birthday cake and you blow out the candles and make a wish in your head maybe your wish will come true depending what you wish for.
Well mine rarely do, but I hope yours will.
Wishes and luck are in the same boat The harder you work the more you get.
