Worth Noting:
- When you are a parent and realise that you child openly states that he would wish to be a sportsperson you should seek to establish what drives him towards that direction.
- If you realize it is not something he is willing to change even after discussions about it pros and cons there is no need of forcing him to change the direction rather try to help him to become the best sportsman as per his abilities.
- Wishes are potentials in us whenever we openly state them or try to do anything to actualize them we put extra energies in them converting the potential into kinetic energies.
Our wishes are presentiments of the abilities that lie in us, harbingers of what we will be able to accomplish……………. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Like a budget that shows a plan of the expected revenues or spending in a specific period so are the other wishes in our lives they show what we currently know and have taken deliberate measures to achieve. Whenever our wishes get fulfilled we cannot claim that the ideas are new in our minds.
Having a certain wish helps us to pursue various avenues through which we can actualize that wish so it puts us in a good position compared to those who do not have any wish in their mind.
Whenever openly stated those around us can participate in shaping them as they can be able to evaluate their applicability or lack of it as well as our ability in fulfilling them for example if you meet a youthful person who wishes to become a gospel musician you would know that it is possible for the wishes to be fulfilled all he need is to compose his music then look for a production house. Should he state the quality and theme that is when you can direct him to someone experience in that field to support in attain his intended quality.
On the other hand if you meet a youthful male who wish to change sex from a male to a female, a short person who would like to become tall or a dark skinned person who wish to become light skinned not only would you assist him but also be eager to listen to him to identify what are the triggers making his focus head towards such a direction perhaps the issue with him would need medical attention rather than just help him implement his wishes.
Had the person not disclosed to you what he wish to fulfill it would have been difficult for you to know or assist.
When you are a parent and realise that you child openly states that he would wish to be a sportsperson you should seek to establish what drives him towards that direction. If you realize it is not something he is willing to change even after discussions about it pros and cons there is no need of forcing him to change the direction rather try to help him to become the best sportsman as per his abilities.
Wishes are potentials in us whenever we openly state them or try to do anything to actualize them we put extra energies in them converting the potential into kinetic energies.
Wishes are like dreams they help us to visualize on where we would like to be, they give us hope that if we accomplish them we would move from the current position to another perhaps a better one. They help us think beyond the current situation.
When you realise that whatever someone is wishing is noble help him make it true if jealous to do so do not kill it as it could be his lifeline. The way we deal with young babies we should deal with good wishes by nurturing them properly so as to see their maturity.
