how wishes can be controlled while living a normal family life to achieve enlightenment?

Every time you see something, ask yourself if you really need it. The best way to be enlightened is to be happy with what you have and, at the end of your life, be able to look back and be satisfied with the contribution you made to the world.

Yes.  It is supposed to be where you can wish for anything, do anything, create your own house, basically circumvent reality just for you.

when you realistically look at it\nlife really isnt that great..... but i am not going to theorise OK??\n what makes life decent proper and good hmmm \nok well you have your family, and you care for them well put yourself in their shoes. imagine if one of your family members died. you would be crushed right. well if you was gone they would be crushed also... so that makes life worth living    you want to see your family happy?\n\ndont you want to see the accomplishments of your family memebers ( i dont know what your family is like) but like for me i want to see my little sister graduate from high school, and colledge, and get married and succeed. for me there are so many things i still want to accomplish. \n\nyou should find a hobby or something\n\nheres an idea make a huge list.... everything that you want to do or possible could want to do, talk with your family about it.... a life goal!!! something that you can try to accomplish yourself. it could anything really   visit each state, go bumgy jumping, get into the guiness book of world record.

Do you mean the perfect life that society wants you to live?\nThat's easy:..get married, have kids, don't drink, don't smoke, becomes a good christian/or whatever religion./never divorce/have a seemingly happily ever after life until you die\n\nOr your very own perfect life?\nLearn to accept the bad along with the good. We always want more than what we have. We always only see what we want to see. You yourself determine your destiny. No one else. If you think that you have a perfect life, you will. If you think you are a screwup, then you are one. There is no one right answer to this question.

Obey them, study hard, get a good job, be a good person, useful to society, have a family is you can, bring up your children well, be loving and kind to your wife, be filial to your parents and take care of them when it's required. Keep them in your life at all times.

Acheiving personal happiness is the primary goal in this life.One is in this world to experience joys and fulfilment.What-ever be the reason,past is dead.Live in the present and dream about your future . Plan actions for  where you would like to be years hence. Keep youself physically and mentally busy.

That may not be possible.  If he truly feels stuck and isn't open to anyone showing him another way of life and/or he views anyone who isn't in his situation as better than him,  there may not be a way for him to relate to you.  It's possible that he believes you can not possibly understand what his life is like.\n\nYou stated you have not always been in the good place you are now.  You could speak to him about that.  Let him know what it was like for you and your family while you were there and what it is like now that you are out.  Relate how you were able to get out in a way that makes him see that it truly is possible.\n\nGood luck.

divert your attention to studies and try to be settled in the life first and then automatically all your wishes should be fulfillled

You are just your parents genes way of producing more genes.\n\nBut you are alive. You have a brain, wants, concerns, emotions and so on. Create your own point. Life needs no external "point" to be lived and enjoyed, or have meaning and purpose.

Use the Wish-o-Matic...it will help you decide.

There is absolutely no contradiction. If there is a God and He is compassionate he should be more understanding than all your relatives like your mother. In which case He knows how much you need to eat to know about Him. If He does not want you to do what you are doing it is up to Him to give you an opportunity to change. Just do not care a hang about what the society thinks. The society will never help you when you are in need. Trust yourself always. God Bless You.

I know it's not very similar, but that little story you have above reminded me of a short story i read several years ago. It's about wishes and how they can go very wrong if selfish and vague.\nThe Monkey's Paw\nhttp://gaslight.mtroyal.ab.ca/mnkyspaw.htm

there is so much that one could wish for. however, would you want to  use it selfishly as in you wish to be famous? or would you use it universally, for the good of all humanity? there is no right wish. for all wishes have a conciquence. as in a cause and effect. to truly be happy of a wish you made you have to realy think about it first. most of the answers above were probably not thought out as well as they should've been. in my opinion, it's nearly impossible to wish only one wish correctly. even though you could wish for more wishes. i doubt you would think twice before wishing and loosing your last chance to make things the way they were. so i think i would probably wish for nothing. as in not making a wish at all until i have thought out the cause and effects.
