Are words we have all heard many times. Usually, we hear them as a caution…as in it might come true. Or when I wish for rain and get a deluge or I wish for heat and get a drought. Those are the unintended consequences that might happen should my wish come true.
More often than not, though, what I wish for doesn’t
come true. It remains as a thing out there that I want to have happen. But all
the time and energy I spent wishing it got lost in the process. I can’t control
the lottery. I can wish to win it and spend all my time spending the riches I
would have should I win it. All that focus on how I would spend my 100 million
dollars is an exercise in futility. The time I spend wishing is time I could spend
on more rewarding pursuits and more productive work. Work that may lead me to earn
my 100 million dollars or being rewarded for pursuing the excellence I am
wishing for.
A wish that shifts my thoughts and focus, though? That is
a wish worth wishing for.
