I wish I wish....

I don't wish that I have more than 24 hours a day.
I don't wish that I have less work to do.
I don't wish that I've more money.
I don't wish that I've more friends.
I don't wish for life to be a bed of roses.
I don't wish that I'm smarter than the other person.
I don't wish to be infallible.
I don't wish to never grow old.
I don't wish to wine and dine finely.

But I do wish I can make better use of my time. I wish I have the ability to sleep less, but sleep better, so that I have more energy when I wake, to do the things that I'm suppose to do.

I wish that I'm wiser and smarter, and more effective in the things that I do, so that I can spend half the time, and accomplish twice the amount.

I wish that I can manage my money better, not to lust after things I don't need but desire because they look pretty and other people have them, but to spend money on the things that are worthwhile, that are of good quality and worth it in the long run.

I don't need more friends, but I need friends of good quality and high calibre; I need friends who will not hesitate to tell me that I need to work on improving certain aspects of my life, and who love me enough to not let me get away with being lazy and take short-cuts. I want, in my life, people I can love and respect and know well, not superficial friends just to pass the time of the day. Our lives are too precious to waste on people who are just not worth it.

I want a life worth living, but a lot of times, it means a life fraught with challenges and difficulties, because these are the things that causes people to grow and stretch themselves and to become better people.

I don't need to be smart, because there are people smarter than me for every ounce of 'smartness' I possess. I don't want and wish to play politics, so I don't need to be that smart! But I wish for wisdom, that wisdom that comes withy life, with experience, the willingness to be humble and to learn from everything and everyone around us. I don't need to many brains, but I do need to know kindness, to feel for the people around me.

I don't mind being 'fallible' if there's such a word or the oppostie of 'infallible', because after all, I'm human, and it's only normal that I sometimes fail. But I do wish for that indomitable spirit that never says die, that indiarubber quality that bounces up no matter what. Grant me the energy of the Duracell bunny, who just goes on and on and on and on, no matter what.

I don't want a magic pill that keeps me young forever, but I wish for enough money to keep me young with plastic surgery and botox and pills. Hahah! Joke! No, what I wish for is the heart that is forever young, the laugh lines that comes with a happy disposition. Because seriously, I rather be happy than be pretty. But of course, if I can be both, that will be a real bonus.

I don't need to eat expensive and exotic food, but I do need huge quantities of chocolate, and I do wish that chocolate will not make me fat!
