Don’t wish
It’s a guarantee that your heart will be broken
By your own hand
Don’t wish
Life is meant to be random
Each day
Each twist in the tale or turn in the trail
Brings the unexpected
Spontaneously
Wishes are curses that limit infinite potential
What we think we need today
Isn’t what we’ll need tomorrow
Live each moment like it’s your last
Finding joy in the glory of being present
Realize that you can never control externalities
So stop trying
Don’t wish
There are only two things that you can control
Your own behavior and attitude
That’s it
So behave well and stay optimistic
Stop trying to change reality
Accept it gracefully
Grateful for all the gifts life brings
Even those gifts that don’t come beautifully wrapped have value
Lessons that are hard to learn turn out to be the most valuable
So don’t wish
Accept
