What is Your Wish?

Sunday, April 4th, 2010

When I was younger, I had this belief that wishing wells, lamps and angel figurines really makes one’s wish come true.  However, as I am growing older, I realized that there is really no sense of doing these things since wells, lamps and angel figurines are not living and so how can they help you with all your wishes.  I have learned, since then, that if you want something, you need to strive hard for it.  There is nothing you can do to get all the things you wanted without doing something to get them.  Your determination, together with your will makes a difference.

Just recently, I have heard about the Tree of Wishes.  It is a site where anyone can post their wishes.  Intrigued, I visited and review the site.  I have learned that that there are really someone, somewhere who are willing to help those who can not make their dreams realized or their wishes come true.  Somehow, these individuals let their wishes be heard with this site and there are really people who would love to take part on others sufferings, needs and desires – material or not.

Do you have a wish?  A personal one?  Sometimes, the fact that you make your wish heard by anyone makes it easier for you to realize your wish.
