Motivated by yesterday’s dream, I asked myself what I would write across the skies…you would’ve thought it is dead easy to make a wish. Well, that’s what I thought at first too. Surely, I said to myself, I have a lot of wishes, all I need to do is to pick the biggest one to pin it above all the rest. I also want it to be artistically beautiful, not just some random sentence À la Red Bull commercials.
So I meditate for a while on what would I wish for the most. The Most. And found myself confused and lost. I cannot find words to frame my wish into something that makes sense. So many people wish to be happy. Or loved. Or have a relationship. I talked to one of my friends recently and she mentioned how she would like to have a relationship. And I asked her then how do you know that you aren’t already having a relationship? How you’d recognise it when your wish comes true? Surely there should be something more defined in the wish-list, then some vague happiness, love, beauty…otherwise how would I know that I do not have this already?
We all have moments in life when we feel loved by our family or friends or lovers. Or we all have moments when we are feeling so happy, even if the next moment we’re depressed. So being as practical, as I am, I said to myself wait, there is no point to put up a wish like I want to be…happy/loved/beautiful/ relaxed/whatever because how can you tell it when this wish comes true?...I can feel happy many times a day, when I notice things that make me happy, like, say, a butterfly waltzing above a flower. Does it means – I have to make the wish “to be happy” bigger? Like – to see a dragonfly over the lake? Or – airplane above the fields? This sounds plain stupid now. This is where it gets difficult, you see. What is my definition of beautiful? Blond and big boobs? But I am blond already and my boobs are big enough to go for a double beauty standards, I recon. And if I cannot draw it in my head how exactly do I want to look to match my definition of beauty, then how am I suppose to wish for it? You see what I mean?
So I can paint in my skies a picture of Julio Iglesias singing a song just for me, while taking me around the world on his private jet and proposing with an outrageously expensive diamond ring and that would be My Blue Sky Wish. And then if I’ll find myself on a Virgin Atlantic travelling across the Ocean and a special song playing in my headphones and a fellow traveller sitting next to me, I might even say well – my wish came true in certain sense, right? But if I’d say: I want to travel, to be happy and loved, then I must admit, I have these all already, as I travel a lot, I do get happy from the silly little things every now and then and I do feel loved occasionally, especially when a Kid comes home for my pancakes.
A simple task of making The Wish somehow gets complicated when you believe that as long as you know what you wish for, it will come to you. And I’m having troubles to specify what exactly do I want most of all right now.
PS ok, this is plain weird now. I'm subscribed to the Ralph Marston's Daily Motivator and after I finish this entry I went to check mails and there it was - the Motivational Message of today.

What's possible
+++++++++++++++++++
...What's possible is anything. What's possible, is everything. What's possible is possible now. What's possible is possible for you...Don't limit your thinking to just what's likely or what's probable. Infinitely expand your choices by considering all that is possible…If you feel stuck, it's probably because you are holding your imagination back. Consider what you've not yet considered, and expect much more than you've ever dared to expect. Open yourself to what's possible. And delight in living the best of the possibilities...
So who says I can't have the most impossible dream!? The whole world motivates me! :-p
