Today, while I was out enjoying a Nutella crepe with two kids I take care of, one of them asked me: if I had one wish, what would I wish for. I was really caught off-guard. I mean....what do you say to that?
Do you go with the cliche "peace in the world" miss America type of answer? or do you go with the selfish "millions of dollars on my bank account" answer?
It tormented me (yes, I really do over think everything!). It is simple to come with an answer, but the real issue is how do you know that it is exactly what you want, desire, hope to see, hope to have...
What do we wish for? Or better yet, what should we wish for?
"The ego wishes comfort, security, satiety; The soul demands meaning, struggle, becoming."
After much thinking, I'm not sure I can ever find an answer to this question...
However, I think we should be careful, and wish for something that defines us, that defines the person we want to be, the person we can picture ourselves being.
I do think that it is important to wish once in a while, not because I believe in miracles, but because it is important to create within ourselves strong and tingling desires to make things happen.
And in fact, why not say your wish out loud? God knows we all need a little support and lots of motivation to make our wishes come true..!
So, wish upon a dandelion, a shooting star, before blowing your candles or when it's 11:11 on the clock... and see what magical things you will do to make it all happen! ;)
