How often do you find yourself saying “I wish I
had.....or I wish I could….” ?
We use the words "I wish" because deep down we believe that it is something that probably cannot or will not happen.
The good news is, you can make your wish come true.
It doesn’t matter whether you are trying to
save money, tone up that beautiful body of yours or learn a new skill. Whatever it is, the way to achieve your wish is to start working towards it today and the next day and the next day and so
on.
For years I “wished” that my husband and I
could have an overseas holiday with our adult children. Every time I thought about it I was
overwhelmed with all the reasons why we couldn't i.e. it would cost too much
and how could we possible organize it with everyone’s busy schedule etc. etc.
It
wasn’t until I took some action and started investigating, planning and
discussing it that my wish started to come true. Yes, it did take nearly 2 years to organize
and there were lots of moments where I felt like giving up. It was extremely difficult to pinpoint a
time when all of us could be in one place at one time. Finally, little
by little it all came together and there we were, all of us together in a
beautiful villa in Umbria, Italy.
It was one of the happiest weeks of my life
and something that we as a family will always treasure and remember.
No matter how big, scary or impossible your
wish seems to be, choose one simple action that will move you closer and start with that. After you have done that choose another and another and before you know it, your wish might just come true!
“The secret to success is to stop wishing
and start doing”
