How many times have you wished for something? Other than over your birthday candles, I’m sure there’s been other times that you’ve wished…wish my hair was different, wish I fit into those pants, wish I was more fit, wish I had more money, wish my boss appreciated me, wish I knew another language….the list is endless, really. Why wish it? What is stopping you from going after what you’re wishing for.
After all, a wish is basically a goal without a time frame.
Of course, some things are easier said than done. Some things require more of a commitment. If you wanted it badly enough, you’d make it happen…wouldn’t you?
Everything in that list above is doable. Even about being appreciated. Now you can’t control the actions of others, but you can control your reaction. As a matter of fact, without your reaction, the other party is powerless. If you work for someone that doesn’t appreciate you, mention it. Know your worth. Stand up for yourself and back it up with fact. If it falls on deaf ears, you have two choices: change the situation by leaving, or change the way you think about it. It’s a decision. And one that is entirely up to you.
Anything else on that list falls within your control. If you tell me it doesn’t I’ll call you a liar.
Wishes don’t have the commitment.
If you want to change your hair and you don’t because your afraid it won’t look good or others won’t like it or you don’t want to spend the money….then do you really want to change anything? If it takes strings of excuses to talk you out of something, either you’re just talking to have something else to complain about, something else you ‘don’t have’ or ‘won’t get’ or you are totally sidelined by fear. Which one is it?
FEAR. Face Everything And Rise.
What do you really have to lose?! After all, it’s all temporary. Hair grows back. Weight comes back. Lessons learned go rusty. It all will revert back without effort. If you don’t really have the interest, then I’m certain there’s not a huge commitment of effort. What made you get started in the first place?
“I wish I knew the answer.” Well, have you asked the question?
“I wish I could afford to see the world.” Well, have you started saving and cutting expenses or taken a second job or anything?
“I wish people would stop complaining.” Well, start within first.
You get the idea.
What have you been wishing for and today put an end date on it.
