Dream
lofty for dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become. Your vision is the
promise of what you shall one day be; your ideal is the prophecy of what you
shall at last unveil. James Allen
I had asked a good friend of mine what
her three best wishes for her life would be if genii were to ask her. She could
not readily answer and I think she bought time from me by telling that let the
genii ask me first. Ask the question yourself now. Most of us do not have a ready and clear wish list. We haven’t prioritized them even if we had one. If you had
missed your bus, you may wish that another one to come soon. I am not talking
about such petty wishes. We are not often in a position to spell out what we
want in our lives. We haven’t thought about them. Perhaps it would be nice to
write down our wishes, say twenty and then scan them to prioritize them. Like a
child we should not ask for a jar full of candies. We must seek the best. Many
of the wishes we had jotted down would be deleted on a second look and some new ones
instead may find place. Review daily for a week till you finally settle for
three.
Our first task should be to know what we
want from our life. There should be a purpose in it. Otherwise we are like a
rudderless ship moving in unchartered seas. I read success in anything, even in
life,’ isn’t the result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on
fire.’
“All who have accomplished great things have
had a great aim: have fixed their gaze on a goal which was high, one which
sometimes seemed impossible.’
Let us now spell out our best three
wishes initially before we set out accomplishing them
Good One , has set me thinking. In my view the capacity to face all shd be priority but on a hind sight I also feel I am too defeated to dream.
ReplyDeleteI love to dream, dream all the time, it keeps me occupied while I am waiting for the bus/ or I am waiting in a clinic. Dreams are good, one can never get bored of dreams especially day dreaming. And it is so right we do become what we dream to become. First dream and then find ways to actualize one's dream into reality.
ReplyDeleteI could so relate! I remember the genie game. Great post as always Sir! Must prioritize my wishes.
ReplyDeleteFor me, my wishes never ever materialized, so I have stopped wishing, so much easier on my mind :-)
ReplyDeletePrioritizing is must in every filed of life.and so in wishes...sometime we randomly wish for something and when we get it we wonder..did we really want it?
ReplyDeleteToday morning only I wrote down my wish list. What a coincidence.
ReplyDeleteVery true, Sir. We must know exactly what we want; anything is possible- what if a Genie really visited us! There is a story in which a couple waste their 3 wishes by fighting amongst themselves! :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome post Sir ....well I have lots of wishes :)
ReplyDelete3 wishes hmm that's something you have left me to ponder on... I agree that one needs to chart out plans and directions in one's life. A steady mind has more chances of being successful. Well written.
ReplyDeleteSo true! I think planning gives us direction and also focuses our energies to a goal.
ReplyDeleteMy husband always dreams and many of his wishes have materialised because he worked towards them! Just dreaming is not enough, I think! I don't seem to be like that! Take life as it comes! Too bad, I know!
ReplyDeleteWow awesome post kp. Loved it

Very true. Especially when I feel nothing is going right with me, I should keep this in mind. Think positive and focus on what is that I need to do to achieve my goals.
ReplyDeleteRight now I wish to travel. It has been a long time. I wish to travel to a distant place, but I don't know where. :)
ReplyDeleteGood game this one: The Genie Game. :)
