"Wishes Can Come True"

"Let's Pretend It's Tea Time And We Are Queens"

 

How many times have you started a sentence with the words I wish I could or I wish I had?  Perhaps  what you wanted was something grand, like winning a medal for bravery or having tea with the Queen of England.

 

Maybe it was something modest, even mundane. .. a wish to change jobs or to climb a tree. Maybe you wished for something fantastic like becoming a famous singer, for example. Or something utterly practical, like making a budget and sticking to it. Your wish might have taken you to the other side of the world or as far away as the moon, or it might have meant just a walk around the corner. Maybe you wished to do something generous, or something just for you. What happened to all those wishes? Where did they go?

 

Wishing is good for us. Daydreams, fantasies, castles in the air, and aspirations al drive us forward, impel us to make things happen. They also tell us a lot about ourselves. Our wishes come straight from our core, and they are loaded with vital information about who we are and who we can become. Keeping track of our wishes helps us tap into the energy that propels us to go after our happiness.

 

Wishes can serve as a wellspring  of ideas for things to do, have, see, taste,  experience, achiever, give, be, learn, do for others, or try just once! In this lifetime. Complete this statement, "In my lifetime, I want to. . ." The collection can range from small, easily realizable goals to grandiose pipe dreams and everything in between. It works for all ages from 5 to 100 and your wish list will be filled with your own hopes and dreams.

 

When your creative daydreaming starts write them down and  you've achieved a wish, celebrate the fact by putting a big red "X" next to it. As the years go by and your wish list's pages become dog-eared and yellowed, you will have accumulated a profile of your changing view of happiness, your own evolving values, and your own fulfillments not a bad thing to have.

 

Wishes no matter how big or small can come true and it can happen to you. Are you are wishing to work with someone you've always admired ? Do  you want to write a love poem?  Maybe you want to volunteer at a local soup kitchen?  Start wishing, start living and take time to stop and smell the roses.
