Wishes


I have always been fascinated by the idea of genies and fate tricking people into making the wrong wish.
 
What is the perfect wish?  World peace? Global health?  Any number of seemingly good wishes appear to exclude the others.

Then it occurred to me!  I need to trust myself.  If I believe that I am a good person who cares about myself and the world, perhaps the best wish is:

I wish that my life is as happy, healthy, and fulfilling as possible.

I can do that because I know things like a lack of world peace and global health take away some of my joy.

I do not have to justify my existence.  I am because I am.

I am always one part of an immense whole and honoring that is a lifetime commitment.
