However likely or unlikely is really irrelevant. We're all trying to improve our lot in life. Reality seems to be a result of how hard we're willing to pursue our dreams, our goals. I can see that most people on this forum don't believe in dreams or goals. They only want to limit reality so they don't have to work as hard.
You don't seem to be working at it very hard. Is that why your reality is what it is? Lack of commitment? Made any progress on the beam?
