Why is it that we always have to prove we're worthy of our dreams

Somebody asked me today: Why do we always have to work so hard to make something happen, why doesn't it just happen? It got me thinking...every time we wish for something and that wish is granted, it always comes with some strings attached, we always have to make a tough choice, to give something up, to choose between our dream (the one that we prayed would happen) and something else. Why isn't a wish just granted? Just like that, no strings, no nothing. I am probably one of the fortunate people that wished so hard and believed so hard in some of her dreams that they actually did happen. But just when they were happening, I was faced with a choice, whether it meant living something behind or giving up something else, but I always had to prove I'm worthy of my dreams. And it's not just the sacrifices we make along the way, the little or big thing we give up on the road to our dreams, it's always a tough decision. It's as if someone wants to be sure that this is really what you want.

Every time we move on, we have to let go of so many things. And why is it the we quantify the value of what we have, only when we are ready to give it up?
I wonder if we can still fulfill our dreams if we don't prove to be worthy of them? Is there such a thing as an easy way to get our dreams fulfilled? And if it is, do we want to take it?
