I found this on the internet, and I liked it so much, I wanted to share it.

I absolutely agree with this depiction of spell-work; it is well said and to the point – could not have explained it better myself! And, I hear you out there, “Sure. Okay. Yeah. And?” Just goes to show how well you know me – here’s the AND:
THE EXACT SAME EXPLANATION APPLIES TO
- Wishes (Candles on your birthday cake?)
- Dreams (Read The Secret?)
- Prayer (Candle in front of a statue?)
The truth is, we are up to our eyeballs in spell-work all of the time. Every time you think about what you want in a serious way, fully forming it in your mind as you would like it to be, your visualization is an act of creation. Imagining rock-star parking at your favorite restaurant, when BEHOLD! there it is! Luck? Coincidence? Magic? Who’s to say.
Which brings me to the important part of our message:
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR, FOR SURELY YOU WILL GET IT!
If ever there were words of wisdom that should be lived on a daily basis (second only to “Do no harm” on the OMG IMPORTANT Meter), those are the words – in that order! The fantastic truth is we can create whatever we want; the real truth is it may not be exactly what we think it is. There is a fine line between Famous and Infamous – what is it you REALLY want?
Make sure you know before you start because you cannot unring a bell.
