From the author: A parable about how everything is real when you know what you really want and are ready to take responsibility for your life. WHO REALLY WORKS WONDERS? A certain man was dissatisfied with his life. He didn't like everything in his life - his home, his work, and the people who surrounded him. And he constantly thought about why other people had everything he liked, but not him. “How happy I would be if I had a beautiful house, a wife, and were rich.” - he thought constantly. And one day I met the Wizard. - I can fulfill your wishes. What are you dreaming about? The man couldn’t believe his luck. “Okay,” the man was happy. – I need a beautiful and big house on the seashore! Beautiful wife. And so that I always have a lot, a lot of money! “Okay,” answered the Wizard. – Tomorrow morning you will get all this. Indeed, the next morning the man woke up and discovered that he was in a very beautiful house on the seashore, his beautiful wife served him breakfast. Dreams have come true! An account was opened in the bank in his name, which was constantly replenished, no matter how much he spent. The man could not believe his happiness. Time passed, he had everything that could make him happy, but for some reason he became sadder and more cowardly. And he met the Wizard again. “I have everything I dreamed of, but I’m unhappy.” I have a big house, and I feel lonely in it. I have a beautiful wife, but this does not bring me joy. I bought everything I wanted with the money, and it doesn’t give me joy now. Why is everything like this, answer me, Wizard! You wanted to have a house, but you didn’t think about the warmth and comfort in it! You wanted to have a wife, but you didn’t think about the feelings that you would experience next to her! You wanted to have a lot of money, but you didn’t think that it could give you freedom, strength and joy! – answered the Wizard. The man was very happy. “I understand, thank you!” Give me it all! I want this - Well, if you now understand everything - and CREATE EVERYTHING YOURSELF! - the Wizard answered him. And the man woke up in his former house, alone without a wife and money. But now he had confidence and knowledge of what he really wants.
