Have you had your wishes granted?

From Reddit's r/CatDistributionSystem, a woman challenges the universe and asks for a small request. She's been tragically affected by the passing of two dogs. She's never had a cat before, and she decided with her husband that this is the best course of action for their next pet. Better to try something new than keep going when you see it doesn't work. She even told the universe to give her a cat from the cat distribution service after she comes back from her music festivals at Lightning in a Bottle. Sure enough, her and her husband got home and her neighbor promptly knocked on her door with an offering from above. He said he's moving and no longer able to take care of his cat, and surely handed the furball over to them. They knew it was due to their wish to the universe, and the universe answered. Despite some health issues, the cat is fine now and they're so happy to be gifted this furry friend from the universe. Remember that when you ask something, it might be granted. It's better to believe and request than to assume the worst. 

It's easy sometimes to feel discouraged or down on your luck, but a good attitude and hopeful disposition are the first steps to meownifestation. What are you waiting for?

  • We all have the ability to wish for something. Whether that wish, that hope, or that manifestation is granted isn't up to us, but all we can do is believe our way will come. Good thoughts are the first step to a good life. Of course, we're not born equal, and there will always be someone more privileged, more successful, and more lucky than you. That could instill a sense of bitterness, but if you don't let those things get to you, you can really cultivate your own way. Everything we experience is through our own perception. There's no point in being jealous or envious of someone else's situation because you really don't know everything involved. The point of the matter is that a good attitude and positive thinking goes a long way. Remember to always stay hopeful.
