"my wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to"

 "You wish too much."

...is something someone recently told me.  Frankly, I didn't know that was possible.  More importantly, why does this person care what I wish for or how often I wish for things?! 

But it got me thinking...

Is it possible to wish too much?

I hate settling.  For anything.  I think a lot of people settle for something - a job, a relationship, a life - because they are afraid to find out what's really out there.  We live in a world where anything is possible.  It's about looking past that fear and taking a chance.  We don't know what's on the other side, but you know what?  I kind of like it that way.  If we knew it all, it wouldn't be as much fun.

I wish for a lot of things - wealth, happiness, success - because I believe in bigger and better things.  I believe that wishing for something is what keeps us moving forward in life.  We all wish to become successful and that's what drives us to work harder.

Sure, maybe I wish for impossible things - like to become a millionaire - but if I didn't wish so much, I wouldn't push myself to work harder, and do better.  I wouldn't have the desire and determination to conquer the world.  And you know what?  I am going to conquer the world someday.

It's important to believe in something, and to wish for things, because I believe that every once in a while, wishes do come true. 

What do you wish for?
