There is so much I wish I could do more everyday. Pray. Study my bible. Read. Exercise. Walk. Spend quality time with my husband. There is no end to the list of things I wish I could do more every day. And yet, I usually find myself in the same old cycles, keeping to old patterns. My wishing doesn’t always lead to more.
How to convert those wishes to action, that is the real question. Someone once told me that if I didn’t go after something, then it meant that I didn’t want it enough. At the time, I gave a long list of reasons why wanting it enough was not the issue, and how everything from the earth to the moon was working against me. Now? I am leaning more and more towards their idea. Maybe, there is a part of me that is comfortable with less of these things I claim to want more of. Maybe, that’s why I do not seem to be doing more.
Wishing doesn’t kill a bird. It doesn’t achieve goals, or make dreams come true (I’m so sorry to break it to you like this). It doesn’t do anything. Sometimes, it may even lead you to despair if you have been wishing and wishing but never reaching. So you see, while there is so much I wish for, I am more interested in how I can turn those wishes to reality, something I can see with my eyes and touch with my hands.
That is not to say you shouldn’t wish, or daydream. Just don’t sit still and fold your ands. Get up and move.
Okay, bye.
