Wishful thinking!

Have you ever noticed that; the more you want something, the harder it gets to achieve - or becomes completely unachieveable...

I suppose the universe works that way... It would be too easy othervise I suppose...

So prayers don't work? Or should one separate prayers from wishes?

I think this has more to do with your subconscience. Let's say you want something very much: you will slowly lose your critical sense along the way to solve the problems you encounter, being kind of blinded by the only objective. Life is a world of compromises, you can not pursue a single, unmodifiable objective and expect it to become real as a whole. You always need to adapt the concepts.
