When someone offers you, one-wish, most people will
think of the obvious, fame, fortune, money, love, peace, etc... take a moment and think, if you are being granted one-wish,
what should you really wish for....
Make your one wish today........
Wishes are significant in
human life
They may be defined as a hope, dream or love for something. Their presence felt from folklore to literature.
While fiction is about supernatural wishes, sometimes entire tales revolve around wishes. Classically, the wish provider is
a Genie, or spirit, after all who can ever forget the Aladdin's oil lamp or a container closed with Solomon's seal.
Some cultures encourage people to "make a wish," such wishing upon a shooting star
at night, tossing a coin into a well, or blowing out the candles on a birthday cake. When times are tough, they offer us the
much-needed comfort, giving us a glimmer of hope and luck. Wishing plays a pivotal role in hope, love and
goal setting. It's not always possible to guess the cause of happiness or the reason behind a particular demand. As a
result, people often land up wishing for the “wrong” things.
Wishes can reveal the nature of an individual,
and interestingly act as connections between human beings with similar wishes, bringing people together. It would be no exaggeration
to affirm that every endeavour kick-starts with a wish. Human beings are born with an innate aptitude to create what they
want. What is required is the understanding of how to "turn on" this ability. We all wish for something but do we
wish for the right thing....
Make your one wish today, for love, luck, or something else, remember
wishes made for the good never go wasted; you can change your life, your friend’s lives and your family’s lives...with
just one wish!
Love
is All That Matters
If you wish for love, then you are not alone. Love is wished for by most people, no matter what language
they speak, or where they live, or how much they earn. Love knows no boundaries of age, location or gender, in fact, philosophers
around the world equal Love with God! When you wish for love, it’s as if you wish for God. No one feels complete in
life, unless they are loved by someone or have someone to love. There is perhaps no other thing in this world that can make
anyone as happy as love does. Some keep their love a secret while others confess it to the world.
The Good Luck Wish
Who
doesn't want good luck? Most people pray to God for good marks in exams, a life partner, to make them rich overnight and
what not! However,luck is so notorious that though at times it acts in favor, there are times when it ditches too. We wish
each other luck before beginning something important or when we go for an exam or a business meeting. After all, we all wish
to be blessed with prosperity. There are many who make regular visits to fortune-tellers to know if luck will favor them in
the future. There are also certain objects that we consider to be lucky. This differs from culture to culture – from
hanging horseshoes at the front door of a house, to putting coins under doorsteps to bring financial gains in the family.
Four-leaf clovers, rabbits foot and fortune frogs are some of the common symbols of good luck that are found in Western and
Asian cultures.
Wish to Become Famous
Fame is what many crave for but only a handful succeeds in accomplishing
it. Those who are lucky become famous while others fade out with the wish to become well-known. While some desire to rule
millions of hearts with their acting skills, many wish to be a famous athlete someday. While some foster the dream of ruling
the nation, few aspire to become millionaires. Often, when nobody was noticing, you may have thrown pennies into the wishing
well to make your wish come true. However, in reality, it is the strenuous training, experience, and persistence that are
the key ingredients to fame. Setting up of realistic goals and the realization that chances are slim of being the next Miley
Cyrus is important to keep you grounded and yet wish for the stars.
Wish for Money
A small
wish on a dandelion fluff “I hope I become a millionaire some day.”
Those who have money, they wish
for more and those who don’t, clamour for some. Most people can benefit from having more of money in their lives. Actually,
it all begins with a simple thinking – or at least that is what studies on people who are wealthy reveal. It has been
found that people who have learnt to think about money differently are the ones who manage to make it big, albeit financially.
There are some concrete reasons just below the perspective of our consciousness. These if left unchanged, persist
to ambush our every attempt in making our wish come true. Physical tangible wealth begins from a wish. With time this wish
grows into clarity and feeling until it can be turned into reality. To describe in brief, all human beings have the innate
inborn aptitude to create what they want. What we only require is to understand how to "turn", this ability “on"
undoubtedly, wishing is a significant part of this process.
Making Wishes for the Family
Some people wish good things
for their family while some wish to have a sweet family. You are maybe wishing for a good relationship with your spouse or
want to have another child in your family. From health, happiness and the success of all your family members to wishing that
problems between your family members are sorted out, wishes related to the family are endless. One cannot stop wishing good
for family members in every sphere of life. And there are also those who don't have a family and wish to have one! Orphans
wish for good and kind adopted parents. Lonely singles and those who are in love look forward to starting a family. Married
couples wish to extend their families by having children or adopting them.
So what do you wish for your family?
Alternatively, do you wish to have a family? Put it down in writing. Read about what others have wished for in the family
wishes section of this website. When people around the world read about your wishes, they too will feel like wishing that
your wishes come true. Let the world know what you wish for your family. It may also happen that someone may read your wish
and help you to make it come true. Don't underestimate the power of words. Just write down that one wish that's on
your mind!
Do you wish that all your wishes come true
It is perhaps too much to desire for all your wishes to
come true. However, when you have a long list of them and when you want them to come true sooner, then you may wish and pray
to God to make all your wishes a reality! a new car, a holiday in Hawaii with your spouse or lover, a huge pay-packet, and
what not! In fact, there seems to be no end to our wishes all through our lives. Sometimes we wish for others too and wish
that all of them come true. Perhaps you want your children to get into college, get a job, get a good life, or you want people
to live in peace and harmony.
No matter what you wish for, wouldn’t it be great if people around the world
knew about them and pray that they come true? In fact, it is believed that more people pray for a certain thing to happen,
all the vibrations and the will powers of different individuals work together to make that happen. So, why not let the world
know about all your wishes and pray for them to come true.
Wishing for Your Relationship
to Work Out Well
Relationships are delicate. Unless you tend to them with a lot of love, care and attention, they may
die sooner even before you realize. We wish our love to stay by our side forever, but destiny may have something else in store.
Those who are single may wish to fall in love and be in a relationship. The silver lining is wishes often do come true. All
you have to do is wish. If you don’t wish, then how can you expect them to come true in the first place? Most people
don’t want their relationships to stumble midway and keep wishing for it to work out until the end of their lives.
How about sharing your wishes here with the rest of the world? You never know. The love of your life may read about
your secret wish and fall in love with you even more. And if you are single and in a mood to mingle, you can read about the
wish for another lonely heart from any part of our world, and connect with them to make a foundation for a happy relationship.
If you have just one wish to make, and it is the success of your relationship, then don’t hesitate and speak out. It
will come true!
Let Peace Prevail On Earth
As if there wasn't a dearth of natural calamities like floods, earthquakes,
and volcanic eruptions to kill us, that people all around the world make war! As if they’re bent on eliminating the
human race. Wonder what the government around the world gain by war? However, we do all lose a part of us with each war or
act of violence that takes place on this earth. With the advancement in civilization, we are supposed to live in peace and
harmony. Somehow, the wheel seems to be turning backwards towards the ancient barbaric days when people used to kill each
other at the drop of a hat. Racial attacks, communal violence and hatred for neighbouring countries don’t show any signs
of decline.
So, if you wish for world peace and a more civilized world, then let the world know about it. Check
out the section on peace wishes and feel connected to the people around the world who wish for the same. Each thought, each
belief, and each wish matters.
Don't Let Hope Leave You Ever
Hope is what keeps us going! Those who lose hope
about life hardly have anything to live for. They may think that their life is not worth living. If you are going through
a very bad phase in life, then hoping for the return of the good times makes you work hard to bring them back. Hope is all
around us in the world. All you need to do is look for it, and it will be yours. You just have to believe that whatever you
are hoping for will actually happen, and the good vibrations that you generate as a result of it will help to make your hope
a reality.
Hope is something that you shouldn't keep to yourself only. Share your hopes with the world and
learn what others hope for. The Hope Wishes section lets you put down your hopes in words. The moment you write it down, your
conviction becomes stronger than what you hoped or wished for to come true. You feel good about it and work towards it to
make it a success. Don't keep your hopes a secret from the world. Share your good feelings and convictions with people
all around the world
Wish for the Wealth of Health
Health is wealth but not all of us are endowed with it. There are
many people around the globe who are suffering from deadly diseases. Good physical and mental health is desired by one and
all. However, a lot of effort is required to maintain a good health in all aspects. Even if you are too fat or too thin, you
won't be able to enjoy the benefits of a good health. Lots of exercises, healthy eating habits and efficient stress management
go into the making of a healthy body, mind and heart.
If you are suffering from a disease and wish to be healthy,
then write about it at the Health Wishes section. People around the world will read your wish and learn about your problems.
You can also get to know what health problem's others are bothered with. It is even possible that after reading your wish,
someone may come to help you to make your wish a reality. So, never stop wishing for a wonderful health. However, also keep
working hard to attain that perfect healthy body and mind. In fact, if you wish for good health is fulfilled, then your other
wishes will also come true.
Have Faith in Your Wishes
Faith in God or faith in yourself, faith is what makes you a
confident human being. You must have faith in yourself and on the power of God to have all your wishes fulfilled. Wishes made
for the good never go wasted. Sometimes we are forced to face a tough road and perhaps don’t even know where we are
going. That is the time when you shouldn’t lose faith in yourself or your ideals. More often than not, having faith
is good for your psychological well being. Even if you can’t see the end, you must have faith that you’ll reach
your destination.
The word “faith” also refers to “trust” or “belief”. Even
though there are some rationalists consider faith as blind ignorance, “faith” is that essential pillar on which
our character rests. So, if you want to know what people around the world have faith in or believe in, then check out the
faith wishes section. People living in different parts of the world express their wishes about their faith on this website.
You can also share your own faith and wishes with others through One Wish. Just make the wish that’s the most important
one for you and then wait for it to come true.
Waiting to Hear Some Good News
We all wait eagerly for good news –
any kind of good news! It can be good news in the family, good news in the office, some personal good news, or good news from
any part of the world. The list is long but often we don’t receive the good news that we hope for. When we open the
newspaper every morning, it is cluttered with bad news like news of racial attacks, wars, murders, thefts and economic slowdown
– as if the good news has become rare! When we constantly keep on hearing bad news all around us, it can make us depressed.
Good news helps us to think positive about the world. In fact, there are certain organizations that work towards spreading
good news in the world such as the Good News Network and the Good News Broadcast. Good news can work wonders to improve our
physical and emotional health and bring prosperity in our lives
Bitten by the Travel Bug
Wanderlust
can hit anyone anytime and if you too, might not be an exception. You, then, must be wishing for travelling to different places
and make merry. So what would be that one place that you would like to visit at least once in your lifetime? Perhaps in your
dreams you see the endless icy terrains of Antarctica or the towering pyramids of Egypt. Alternatively, maybe you want to
visit the famous Taj Mahal in India or the Great Wall of China.
Well, don’t keep your wishes a secret then!
Tell it to the whole world where you want to go. And even if it is the moon, don’t feel shy to tell us about it. What
if someone reads your wish and actually helps you to make it come true? You can also read about the different wishes to travel
of people who live across borders. So write down your most cherished travel wish and share it with the world. Be it, adventure,
hiking, historical places, cruises or any other type of travel that you wish to make, just share it with us while you wait
for it to come true. Do not underestimate the power of words – for they may just turn out to be your magic wand to that
fairytale place!
Wish for Your Dream Destination
Ever closed your eyes and imagined yourself being transported to
the place of your dreams – your dream destination? All of us have a favourite place in their mind that they wish to
visit at least once in their lifetime. You may have heard about this place from someone’s first-hand account or a story,
may have seen a painting or photograph of this place or seen it on television or a movie. It can be a country such as Australia
or a city-like London. From the mountains of Switzerland to the beautiful Hawaiian beaches, and from Norway’s gorges
to Japan, your dream destination can be situated in any corner of the earth. It can even be an imaginary place that may have
no existence, in reality.
Whatever may be the place of your dreams that you wish to visit, why keep it inside
your heart as a secret? Share it with others and read about the dream destinations of people around the world. If you have
just one wish to make that would be the most important one in your life, then let it out on www.one-wish.co.uk. You’ll
also find it very interesting to note the different places that people like to visit on the site. In fact, you may be surprised
to find that your hometown, which you may find boring because you are used to it, is the dream destination of a person who
lives at the other end of the globe.
Wish to Become Rich
Most people in this world wish to become rich. The reason
could be that they do not have enough money all the time to fulfil all their wishes. There are certain materialistic wishes
that cannot be fulfilled without money, like having a luxurious lifestyle. Money is also essential for many other things like
getting a higher education or a good medical treatment or a surgical operation. In Italy, it is commonly said that if you
want to make money, then you can inherit it, marry it. However, there are other ways to become rich and that includes working
harder and smarter than others. An alternative but easy way to become rich overnight is by winning a lottery or discovering
a hidden treasure.
Nevertheless, not all of us are lucky in this matter. Some people also wish to find something
magical like Aladdin’s lamp that would bring out a genie to fulfil all their wishes, including the wish to live lavishly
among riches.
Wish You Could Lose Weight
Obesity has become a major health hazard with us. More and more people are
entering into a sedentary lifestyle due to the nature of their work and as a result, are facing the problem of obesity. Being
excessively fat can cause you a lot of problems. You won’t get the right clothes to fit into and may be charged extra
while travelling (if not financially but psychologically for sure). The problems due to obesity are endless. It may have an
adverse effect on your relationships, your career and even your self esteem. There are so many people all over the world whose
only wish is to lose some weight and feel as light as a feather or rather have a lean and mean body!
The concept
of beauty is also a contributing factor to this wish. More and more women around the world want to have a Barbie doll-like
figure. And the first step to achieve that would be to lose weight. Men are also not far behind in trying to look their best.
They actually go to great extents like surgeries to shed that extra flab. You’ll definitely feel better when you share
your problems and learn what others go through.
Do You Dream of Becoming
a Writer
Most of us have grown up reading Grimm’s fairytales and classic stories like Alice in Wonderland or the
Wonderful Wizard of Oz., And then we go on to read Mills and Boons and Sidney Sheldon novels in our teenage years. From detective
novels engaging us with their mystery and suspense to romance or adventures and sci-fi, there are endless genres of fiction
that you may enjoy reading. Non-fiction writers are also quite popular. Take, for example, Dale Carnegie’s “How
to Win Friends and Influence People," which has become a global bestseller in its own right. It has even been translated
into a number of languages, reaching a larger and varied audience.
No wonder that many of us wish to write a book
to narrate their own fiction or real-life tales and become famous. Nevertheless, the urge to become a writer, most of the
times, lies dormant in people who are engaged in some other full-time job. They feel that they are born to do something different,
but are unable to quit their job or find time to start upon their dream novel. So, life just goes on with the hope that someday
their wish will be fulfilled. You can now share your dreams, hopes and wishes with people around the globe and also listen
in on their stories here on one-wish.
In the Pursuit of Happiness
Happiness is something that has eluded people for
centuries. What did we not do in pursuit of happiness? From climbing mountains to diving into the depths of the ocean, from
running after money to looking for happiness wherever we thought we could find it – we haven’t left any stone
unturned. However, those who went in pursuit of it have repeatedly concluded that happiness lies within us. We just have to
look within, and it’s ours to behold. We don’t have to find it anywhere else.
So many people all over
the world feel that they are unhappy. They look everywhere other than the place where they’ll find it. And they wish
for happiness – their own happiness and that of their family and friends. At times, you may feel that you are the unhappiest
person on the face of this earth. However, wait, here you can read about the stories of others and how they wish to be happy.
You won’t feel lonely anymore, and you too can share your story with the rest of the world. Just write about your wish
for happiness and connect with millions of those who are seeking it or have already found their share! This way, your urge
to find that secret key to happiness – be it money, fame or just luck, will find new ways to fulfil itself!
Wish
to Become Financially Independent
In a world where money shapes your life and dreams, it is extremely important to become
financially independent. Loans and debts that were initially taken to maintain a good lifestyle can become a burden later.
You may also have to take loans in emergency situations in the family or business or for medical treatment. Huge debts can
be incurred as you spent more than you earned. No matter what the reason is, most of us who are under pressure to clear off
debts wish to become financially independent.
Your wish to clear off all your debts can be done by taking steps
like saving, paying the minimum amount due on credit cards, by working overtime, requesting for money on birthdays instead
of gifts, and by spending only on those things that you really need. You can also sell your unnecessary possessions through
eBay, garage sale, etc. It would be possible for you to save money only after clearing your debts. Share your good and bad
experiences and wishes with people from different parts of the world. It is possible that someone may read your story and
try to help you in realizing your dreams. When you read about the wishes of others, you’ll feel a strange connection
with those who wished for the same things that you did.
