Wishful thinking!
One of my favourite author Preeti
Shenoy’s 4th book The Secret Wishlist is about to release and just like last time she is giving creative prompts on her blog urging us to
write on them.This took me down the memory lane when last year around the same
time I had participated in this and made some wonderful blogger friends.
It was
truly a magical experience how within few weeks how we all had become like a
small family – sharing and caring. So here’s my attempt to that prompt wishing
for more such magic to happen:

what you set your heart upon. For it shall surely be yours."- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Today in the prompt we have been asked to list the three things I
badly wish I could have....my answer would be:

There comes a stage in life where
the only thing clear is confusion. When the very base on which you have been
standing till now seems shaky. That is when we need to remember that there are
few things in our life which are beyond our purview. We cannot do anything
about them but our heart simply refuses to understand that and continues to
mull over it. While on the other there are many things within our reach but we
are unable to do anything about it because we are scared. It is a herculean
task to recognize the things we can change and the ones we cannot.And that is reason why this prayer is so close to my heart. For it reminds me what I can do ,what I cannot and that I have my own limitations sometimes. I need to accept myself with those limitations and try to make the most of what I can do, rather than crib over what I cannot.
I am an eternal dreamer. One who
dreams and wishes for those dreams to come true. By saying this I don’t mean
all my wishes have come true till now but that does not deter me from wishing
every time. I have various categories for them, some serious one which I share
here and some quirky ones which are like this. My wishlist is endless as I keep wishing for something new each day. But today when I asked my heart
this question I got this answer. I had fallen
in love with this quote the first time I had read it some 3-4 years back. I
make a conscious effort to remember this every time I am in trouble though I
must confess there are times when I fret unnecessarily. I am sure at some point of time in our lives we all wish this as it helps us sail through our troubles easily.
And like I always like to say;
Make a wish, not because it will
come true. But because it feels good to know what your heart wishes the most at
that time!
So as yet another enticing year
comes to an end, make a wish and listen to what you heart is saying this
moment.
