Repost: Why should we wish?

So what does it mean to wish? To me, wishing is a means of aligning yourself with what you "wish" (for lack of a better word) to see in yourself, in those around you, and in the universe that encompasses every being and thing. A real wish is not to be forgotten after the candles are blown out, but rather to be embellished as a promise.....a promise to oneself to bring about everything that they "think and thank about" (taken from The Secret)

Many people forget that a wish is basically a spark, a mental state that allows one to define that which they desire. If I wish for a brand new car, I can not simply lay back and expect a car to drop out of the sky, but rather while invoking positive thought, feeling, and formulating an image in my head of the desired car, I will in a sense meta-physically attract the means by which I can attain that car. Perhaps I will notice the desired car for sale more often than other cars, or may search for it in the classifieds to see if anyone is selling it for a reduced price, or even so look for a job that may lead towards a higher income and thus the means to purchase that car.

Realistically, it is dangerous to place all of our hopes and desires on wishes and aspirations. Sometimes, barriers in life make it difficult or near impossible for us to achieve our goals (it may be difficult to become an NBA superstar if you are only 5'2), but the eventual goal of any wish is to propel you in the direction of your goal. Although you may not actually become an NBA superstar, perhaps you will make great strides in the college circuit, which would not have happened had you not had enough faith in yourself that you could get that far.

Thus, I guess the question is inverted. Why shouldn't we wish? What do we have to lose when we wish for things in our life? Perhaps we may be let down that we have not achieved everything we desired or expected, but inevitably by wishing we propel ourselves to move towards a direction, and let the universe in a sense manage the rest.

As a man of hope and inspiration once said,

"Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase."

- Martin Luther King Jr.

Brazilets

Through twitter (@brazilet) we discovered a very cool wishing site called Brazilet that sells bracelets that have spiritual significance in latin america that you make a wish on them and when they fall off they are suppose to come true. The site also streams peoples wishes at the bottom. The proceeds go to help preserve the rainforest in Brazil.  They are only $5 and you can get them online!Just ordered mine! Can't wait to wish on it! 

Wishing can do a lot of good :)!
