What’s your wish?
When I was a girl I wished for a pony. My
wish was impractical as I lived in the city, had nowhere to keep a horse, and
no means of caring for it. But that didn’t stop me from wishing. I loved
palominos, so I imagined a beautiful, small palomino that would be mine, all
mine. And every birthday I was disappointed. After 10 years of wishing I gave
up.
What I didn’t know then was that wishing is
only part of the equation. A wish is a dream that your heart has. But to make
that dream a reality requires effort. The first step is to visualize what you
want. Then you put your dream into action. You take the appropriate steps to
reach your goal. If I’d really wanted a pony, I would have visited a horse farm
or two. Talked to the owner about caring for a horse. Understood the
requirements for feeding, veterinary care, the needs of the horse. Researched
places for boarding a horse. Spent time mucking out stalls and oiling saddles
and hefting hay bales to see if that was really something I wanted to do.
So what’s your wish? Do you want to write a
book? Get your book published? Be part of a collaboration? Create a book launch
on Amazon?
It’s time to dust off your wish box. You
can see your dream come true if you follow these steps:
