It Starts With A Wish

~~Make a wish.  Take a chance.  Make a change.~~  Unknown

 

It all started with a simple wish.  "I wish I could quit smoking".  It would have been the same no matter what the wish.  "I wish I could lose weight".  "I wish I could have a friend".  "I wish I could like myself more".

You see, all it took was that wish for me.  I really did wish I could quit smoking.  Even more, I wished I could quit quitting....and starting again....and quitting again....

And so I made that wish.  Once I did, just like magic, the thought came to me:  "What's stopping you?"  The answer was  even quicker.  "Me".  I was the only one stopping myself from quitting.  Thinking I couldn't do it.  Thinking I wasn't worth the time or the effort or the chance.

This time, as I said before, my quit was different.  I did it and I knew throughout those first few weeks that this was it.  This time, I was consciously aware that I was worth the time and the effort and the chance.  I was worth quitting for 🙂

And it all just started with a little wish.  A sincere wish for change. 

Allow the thought to cross your mind.  Wish for something you sincerely desire.  And then allow your mind to lead you down the right path towards your heart's desire.  Because, just like me, you can make your wishes come true.  You have everything you need inside of you right now to overcome life's challenges.  To be happy.  To have what you want in order to live the way you want to.

It all starts with a wish.....

And I wish for you the very best in life,

Sheri
