Do you find yourself frequently wishing for something more in your
life and wasting your energy wishing your life away? And of course there is the children’s nursery rhyme
that says: Star Light, Star
Bright, I wish I may, I wish I might have the wish I wish tonight.
Myself included, I
know we sometimes find ourselves wishing for things that we do not have,
wanting what others may have, and thinking about things that we could have had.
Quite frankly, it is probably human nature to strive for bigger and better
things and that is okay. The
problem often arises when we spend too much time wishing our lives away and not
sufficient time taking action steps to allow what we desire to manifest.
This reminds me of
a song that topped the charts back in 1995. Hip hop rapper Skee-Lo debuted with
his one-hit wonder, “I wish”. In his song, he talks about how he wishes he was
a bit taller, among many other things. The funny part about the lyrics is that
the whole song is a big “pity party”. When wishing becomes the greater part of
who you are, you begin seeing all the negativity in your life opposed to all
the blessings that surround you now. In fact, when you create your own pity
party, you can no longer focus on open doors of opportunity. The world becomes
too difficult and all that you see is what you cannot have. That is not the way you are intended to live
your life.
What is it
that you heart desires right now?
If it is a relationship, then what are you doing to create and manifest the
connection you are seeking? If you are simply wishing for a relationship it is
truly not good enough. Words and thoughts without deeds go nowhere. The same
applies to the word “try”. For example, “I tried to have a relationship but it just didn’t work out.” If you truly
“tried”, what was it that you need to do differently to make things work more
effectively? Make a list of things that you can do right now to create the life
you want to lead. After you have crafted your list, you need to follow through
on those modifications so that you will not just be trying, but instead, doing.
“When you DO
all that you can do to support and manifest the dreams that you have made in
your heart and soul, then your wishes can come true.” When you DO what your inner soul truly wants you
to do, all the obstacles you see before you become stepping-stones and
opportunities for learning and growing. Remember too, dreams and wishes are the
heart’s laughing place – a tender spot in your heart that keeps you striving
and thriving. Never let go of your heart’s desires – but in order to fulfill
them, you have to do more than just try – you must take action steps.
