I wonder if it is common to wish your life was different. Not in the sense that a person wishes to be a millionaire or anything like that, or even the “grass is greener on the other side” kind of thing, but just little changes here and there.

The small wishes, so to speak.

I am sure everyone has them. In fact I think a large portion of our culture is focused on the small wish industry. People wish to loose that extra couple pounds, there a thousand companies there to help. People wish for a little more money, and there are a thousand get rich quick schemes out there. The little wishes drive us all to make decisions that may not be the best decisions we could make.

But are they wishes in the sense that they wont come true, or in the sense that you wont invest yourself in making them come true? Everyone thinks that wishes are either unattainable, not worth attaining, or would require the help of another party to get it accomplished. A personal trainer, or a therapist, or a financial advisor to change those little things.

Do wishes not come true because of our own deep seated laziness? Makes me wonder if I am too at fault of letting my own wishes slide. Am I a victim of “someday” wishes? Someday I will do that, or someday I will try that, or someday I will write that book. When in reality the truth is, yesterday was just as good as someday.

So what I am doing about those wishes?

I think it is time to make a list.

Then get a’wish crackin’.
