Wishes

Throughout our lives we make wishes. When making wishes we dare to dream, dare to hope, dare to believe. We so readily accept them when they happen. We feel elation, deserving and relieved. All is good, all is right. All is how it should be. Why they came true is not a question that is asked.

It is inevitable that not all of our wishes will be realized. Sometimes, they just don't magically happen. Disappointment floods us and we question "Why not me?", "Why isn't it my turn?", "Why am I not deserving?." It may be that we have done everything we know how to do, worked as hard as we could, and still, our wish or dream eludes us. We question everything in and around us and finally, we plant the seed of failure and it begins to grow.

We may not think how so very complacent we would become if all we wished, all we dreamed, all we hoped for came true. We don't want to admit that the more we receive, the more we would want, the more we would expect.

It is incredibly easy to make a wish. It is incredibly hard to let one go and accept what may not come at all or exactly how we want. It seems impossible to take a breath, shrug our shoulders and make another wish, but that is exactly what we need to do. Giving up should never be an option.

Inside us is an enormous amount of strength. Strength waiting to be utilized. True, not always does it feel that way, perhaps it may seem to be hiding behind a kidney, but it is there. Bring it forth and walk forward. Take the steps, one at a time. There is no failure as long as you move forward.

Always wish, always dream, always hope. No, not all will come to fruition, not all will be how we envision, but all those that are right for us, will.
