Leaping

The Universe doesn't just let what you wish for
 fall right into your lap.

First, you have to recognize it.

Stand up, put forth effort, work.

Take leaps of faith.

There may be hurdles,
 there may be blessings.

This isn't because the Universe is cruel.

The Universe is smart.

It has it's own cat-string theory,
 and is well aware,

We don't appreciate things that just fall into our laps.

Damn Universe.
