Stop Wishing, Start Willing
Stop saying “I wish” and start saying “I will”
Stop wishing for stars that shine from afar,
Start willing your path—you’ll reach where they are.
The future blooms where courage stays,
Action writes the brightest days.
A wish is a shadow, it passes by fast,
But will is the flame that is certain to last.
“I wish” is a whisper, uncertain and still,
“I will” is a promise, a mountain of will.
It moves the stone, it lifts the load,
It carves the mountain into road.
The world will bend to determined skill,
For nothing is stronger than saying “I will.”
Don’t just dream—take action.
