The power of 'wanting'

When I was a kid I dreamt of having a color TV, fridge etc (back then only the well-off had them) and after a few years I realised it. When I moved to indore, I just walked into a shop and bought a color TV off the shelf. Right from when I was a kid I wanted to fly but I was not so sure I would... I flew for the first time last year (Chennai to trivandrum) and I have been flying every 3 months... I used to dream of a day when air fares would be cheaper... it used to hurt that I wanted it so badly... and a few days back they slashed air fare by almost 60%... I used to call my girl friend everyday (she is in bangalore) so I used to dream - actually want- that the std rates become cheaper... and you know the rest. I see a pattern emerging: If you want it so badly, it will happen. The things I want now are 1)get my novel published 2)Move to Bangalore 3)Own flat 4)Car... in that order. I read in an agency (I think O&M)) "If you wanna be a butterfly, want it so badly that you stop being a caterpillar." Neat! I have started to believe.
