When someone says ok you can have one-wish, most people will immediately
think of the obvious, like fame, fortune, money, peace etc. but hey wait for a moment and take a step back. Think to
yourself you are being granted one-wish, what should you really wish for?
Wishing
is significant in human life. It may be defined as a hope or yearning for something. Wishes make
their presence felt from folklore to literature. While fiction is all about supernatural wishes, sometimes an entire
tale revolves around wishes. Classically, the wish provider is a Genie, spirit, or similar entity 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 wishing well, blowing out the candles on a birthday cake,
or breaking the wishbone of a cooked turkey. When times are tough, wishes offer the much needed comfort.
Wishes play
a pivotal role in hope, appreciative inquiry, resilience, savoring, purpose and goal setting. It is 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 reveal a lot about the nature of a particular individual, and interestingly,
wishes act as connections between human beings. Irrespective of the root, or community similar wishes bring people together.
Actually, there are some concrete reasons underneath the perspective of consciousness that continuously ambush every effort
if left unchanged. It would be no exaggeration to affirm that every endeavor kick starts with a wish. Human beings are
born with an innate aptitude to create what they want. What is required is the understanding on how to "turn on" this
ability.
It is
perhaps too much to desire for all the wishes to come true. But when the list is a long one there are
expectations that a few would turn into reality. While good physical and mental health is desired by one and all, fame is
what many crave for. Desire for world peace and a more civilized world is the wish of all good hearted
souls. With dreadful news of attacks, wars, murders, and economic slowdown flooding the news columns – good news is
eagerly wished for. Love is perhaps the most wished thing. Irrespective of the language they speak, or where they live, or
how much they earn, people crave for love. Lonely hearts and those who are in love look forward to start a family.
People pray to God for their relationship to work out well. Some wish good things for their family while some desire to
have a sweet family of their own. Orphans hope for kind adopted parents. Married couples wish to extend their families
by having children or adopting them.
Remember
that wishes made for the good never go wasted. Besides hard work to turn the dream into reality, it is important
to have faith in your wishes. It is the faith that makes an individual confident – be it in God, or on one’s
own self.
You can change your life, your friend’s lives, your family’s lives and even everyone’s lives with
just one-wish. So I ask you just one thing, take a moment before you answer as
what may look like a simple question, is in reality a lot more difficult.
