To a resolute mind, wishing to do is the first step toward doing. But if we do not wish to do a thing it becomes impossible.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true. You may have to work for it, however.
If we are ever in doubt about what to do, it is a good rule to ask ourselves what we shall wish on the morrow that we had done.
It's ungrateful to be wishing you were doing something else at the moment you are living. You haven't lived in the moment that you are really living, you are wishing you were somewhere else.
Wishful thinking is one thing, and reality another.
Sometimes, things you wish had happened don't, or there are things you wish you'd been able to do but can't.
We can do all we wish while we live; afterward, we are less than the meanest.
No wishes are silly, no dreams remain dreams, for those committed to clear and definitive goals.
I don't believe that wishing works. I think we get the things we work for.
Our destiny changes with our thought; we shall become what we wish to become, do what we wish to do, when our habitual thought corresponds with our desire.
If you feel like there's something out there that you're supposed to be doing, if you have a passion for it, then stop wishing and just do it.
