Reflections on Wishes, Efforts, and Shaping the Future
Dreams, wishes, and desires are forces that strengthen the desire for an improved tomorrow, and come alive only with action and will. We reflect on the lines behind the wise thought in such quotes and find their relevance to our efforts toward peace, happiness, and purpose.
1. "I wish for peace, and I will work to create it."
— Unknown
Everything starts from inside you. The word peace is the first step, but the rest is actions. It could be spurring on others to work for understanding in relationships; adding efforts to a community; and working on inner tranquility, because peace needs action. Be kind and patient with intention.
2. "The greatest way to foresee the future is to create it on your own."
— Unknown
Waiting for the future to unfold passively limits our potential. By taking control and shaping it with our decisions, actions, and dreams, we transform uncertainty into opportunity. Building the future means investing in growth, learning, and perseverance. Don't passively wait for someday in an uncertain future, but buy today's actions and choices with dreams.
3. "Each little step taken today brings massive tomorrows."
— Unknown
Doing small actions every day can lead up to bigger dreams one has. Making individual choices, performing simple tasks can contribute to what ultimately will be a larger picture. It is not about a giant leap, but a steady progress consistent over time makes for meaningful life.
4. "I wish I could freeze this moment forever."
—Unknown
Some moments are so precious that we wish to hold on to them forever. Although time cannot be stopped, we can freeze every single one of those moments in time, savoring the beauty and impact of that moment in time. Living fully in the now is a way to create memories that lasts for a lifetime.
5."The future is like a book, and every new day is a fresh page in it."
— Unknown
Life is a story, and we are the authors of it. Each day provides us with a blank page so that we can fill it up with experiences, choices, and dreams. By having an intent and creative attitude each day, we write a narrative that we could be proud of.
6. "Dream big and let your future follow along."
—Unknown
Big dreams prepare for bold actions and achieve greatness. Most of the time when we dream big then act to fulfill that dream, the future unfolds more than we have ever imagined it would. Dreams give direction and fuel to travelling.
"I desire happiness, and each day I endeavor to create it."
—Unknown
No one is born into happiness; it is a choice made every day. Through gratitude, positivity, and meaningful actions, we build a life of joy and satisfaction. Happiness is not found; it is built from within.
