Where Are Your Wishes?

Where Are Your Wishes?

What are your wishes?

Money? Lifestyle? Adventure?

The difference, as I have pointed to before, is action.

Don’t let all of your fears keep your longings in the theoretical.

I know a lot of people who wish they were rich or famous or otherwise fabulous. They wish they had yachts and servants and castles and they wish they could travel the world in their own private jets. But these are mere wishes. Few of these wishful people have decided to have any of the things they wish for. It’s a key difference, for once you decide, you take action. Wishing starts in the mind and generally stays there.

-Scott Adams, How To Fail At Almost Everything And Still Win Big
