“If wishes were horses beggars would ride”
While talking to someone recently this quote came to mind as the person kept saying I wish I could do this or that. Of course my question was why can’t you? The person shrugged their shoulder and really couldn’t answer. I guess it was just too much for them to think about. I repeated to them what someone had said to me recently, “the only limitation on you achieving what you want is placed there by you.” Thinking about it you are or can be your own stumbling block. As I have written many times before you are the one in control of your life, no one else.
Anyway the quote came into my head because when asked the person had no concrete plans, just wishes. The thing is just wishing things would happen makes no sense to me. If you want things to happen you have to go after what you want. Step out in faith every day. That’s the only way things will work for you and not have you sit wishing something would happen magically. Remember what it is to be lucky, it’s opportunity meeting preparedness. Again it’s you putting things in place in case of, as it never happens by accident. What is it you want to achieve? The how will follow. That’s what my Dad told me and I believed him. He would always say to me just go do the thing. If it doesn’t work then…. What I gathered from this was failure is not the end of the road. So what of you fail?🤷🏽♀️. That’s why he said to me never look back at your life and say if only I had, look back and say I did. At least you tried.
I sat with a friend recently as I am trying to see where I want to go. Where do I want to be and do and how do I get there. I realized that it’s not the easiest thing to figure this out yourself sometimes you need help. What I have done and I would tell you to do is to think about all those persons that you know that have been there and done that and just sit and bounce ideas off one or more of them. How else will you grow? Reading helps and listening to thought leaders but sometimes that physical connection works. I say physical but it could be virtual, cause you know that’s how we do things now. Covid changed the landscape forever.
As I said in the beginning of the blog, wishing won’t get you anything or have you go anywhere. If you want it don’t sit wishing on it, try something. Don’t worry about failing because it would mean you have failed before you even start. That makes no sense. Jump and hope the net will appear. Interestingly that is a plan I have used often. It has worked and I’m sure it will continue to work. 😁. Wishing on a star is a fairytale.
I really want to know what you are thinking, and I know others do too. Try commenting 👍🏽, but if you are not comfortable, reach out to me via any medium. Your comments let me know how you feel and very often give me a total different perspective on the topic. 😉. And you can never tell your comment might help others.
