When you wish upon a star, your dreams can come true. Unless it's really a meteorite hurtling to the earth which will destroy all life. Then you're pretty much hosed no matter what you wish for. Unless it's death by meteor.
Seriously, you see this with buyers of homes all the time. They talk about wishes. The focus needs to be more about dreams.
Wishes are very light and fluffy. They are a good beginning point, but the real problem with wishes is they lack vision. Start with a wish but make it into a dream.
You never heard that famous quotation from Martin Luther King Jr. come up as
" I Have a Wish! "
Dreaming shows action. It shows that there is some plan behind the words. Wishing is still probably not even on paper. It is very passive. It is much easier to put wishes on the shelf. Where do you think the term wishy washy comes from? Wishes can seem impractical, hopeless, and maybe even impossible. When we launched the goal of putting a man on the moon before this decade was out, THAT was a dream, not a wish.
Stop wishing and start DREAMING all those ideas you have into living breathing reality. Sure there may be fear at first.
Once you take the first steps in the direction of your dream the courage will follow. But don't wish,
DREAM!!!
