Star Light, Star Bright

October 8, 2014 By Arminda

starlight
Star light, star bright,
First star I see tonight,
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have this wish I wish tonight.

We’re accustomed from childhood to make wishes and throw them into the universe, hoping without believing we’ll see a return on that coin tossed into the fountain, the dandelion fluff blown against the wind, the first or even the shooting stars we see in the night sky.It’s habit. Habit to throw out our words without truly meaning or believing them to be true.What if instead of casually throwing about out our wishes, we create a dream.

What if instead of tossing coins into a fountain and hoping without believing, we deliberately choose action over hope.

Hoping leads to wasted wishes, and wishes are nothing more than passive and passing thoughts.

Be the maker of your dreams rather than the wisher leaning over the edge of an empty (yet thought-filled) well.

Be and become instead.
