Making a Life Wish
By Fran Hafey/Mysti
See a falling star... make a wish, blow out all the candles on your birthday cake in one breath... first star I see tonight... I wish I may I wish I might.... remember these sayings, these wishes? Many seem to think that their lives are not what they've wished for. Does "wishing" make your dreams come true?
What is wishing? Is it something we want or need? There's a difference in wishing and controlling our lives and making choices. Wishing is something we hope for, but do we truly believe when we make a wish?
When I see a falling star, I make a wish. That wish is usually something I desire in my life. But just how much faith and intent do I put in that wish? Do I really mean it? Is it just a game? Remember, thoughts, words and deeds can create.
We can make wishes everyday, but it's the faith behind those wishes that make them come true in our lives.
I believe in that wish. I believe there are many things I desire and deserve in my life. I know Spirit, my higher power, my Creator will see that I have what I need.
That doesn't mean there are times that I won't receive what I ask for. I used to wonder about that and others would ask me too. When we desire something, does that always mean that it's the best thing for us?
How many times in your life have you wanted or desired something and you didn't get it, but later, noticed you'd received something even better, or realized that wasn't really what you wanted. How many times have you received what you asked for and later, asked yourself why, because it didn't turn out the way you planned after all? Maybe that's because your higher power allowed it to manifest in your life, so you could learn a lesson, a valuable life lesson to grow on. All things come to us for the higher good.
We can control our lives and actions more, as we learn to let go of so many things we really don't have control over, like worry and needless thoughts. When we do this, life flows a bit easier as we find balance.
I've, over many years, learned not to worry. I think on things and make plans, but I choose to use my energy in better ways, than worrying. It really doesn't get us too far, when we sit and make our health bad by worrying about things we can't control. What we can control is how we react to situations and people in our lives. For me, I'd rather be doing something constructive that's meaningful, instead of sitting, chewing my nails to the bone and worrying. I give it to Spirit and let it go. What a wonderful free feeling!
Just like not worrying, I also choose to wish upon a star... for this or that and I know in my heart, each wish is heard, just like a prayer or desire. I don't think about it too much or worry I won't receive, I just enjoy everyday to the fullest, problems and all, and know I'm loved.
The next time you see a falling star or the first star you see tonight, make sure you hold great thoughts in your mind and heart. Believe that you deserve the best... Spirit is always near and wishes do come true. ~
