If wishes

I will not wish upon a star
But thrust my will on the morrow.

I think this is inspiring, Cherrie.
Seriously, I'm getting mesmerized by this two wonderful lines.
The urge to go the extra mile for my dream to be fulfilled captivates me and I feel like someone just reveal the unknown to me.
Now I know wishing on the star could be a waste of time. But thrusting our wish on tomorrow by making the right move could make our dreams come true.

Excellent writing here, Cherrie.
Thank you for sharing it.

Thank you Kay,
Ive been thinking about reworking Cinderella where there's no Fairy Godmother, only the girl to get things done.

[Kay Salisu Titilola]

That's a good idea.

[DAH]

Excellent thought.

What ever happened to all of those wishes
that have been wished upon stars? Nothing, absolutely nothing.

Yes, to thrusting will ...

DAH

Brevity is indeed the soul of wit...

determination to make a difference by doing something...anything...rather than sitting back and waiting for dreams to come true is the only way to deal with life.
Otherwise you'll miss out.

A good write, Cherrie

[Cherrie Palmer]

Brevity and I are pals.

Brevity Cherrie which has much wisdom in it. A new day can sure make a difference to one's outlook and luck too. Wishing upon a star is pretty and for kids.

Wishing on a star is about as much help as a chocolate teapot, or wearing lucky nickers. We hope our call will be answered by fate, but as you say, you make your own fate (and luck) by the path we choose and the effort put in.
That's my reckoning and I hope I'm right. Fingers crossed, touch wood. S**t! A black cat just walked in front of me. I'm going back to bed 🤓

[Cherrie Palmer]

Lol, I have to confess,
I almost always knock on wood, people are funny no matter how much we know we can't give up some of those old beliefs.
:)

[Lorry]

Nominitive determinism. I knew there was a term for it but had to look it up. And everyone does it according to scientists. From lucky bingo pens, to wearing lucky underwear. Even I do it, and my knickers haven't been lucky in ages 🤓

[jacob erin-cilberto]

we make our lucky breaks and achievements...nice to think of the stars helping...but really they just shine for themselves...

so much implied with these two lines...
you are a master of brevity.

I think I'll start stuffing fortune cookies

I was thinking about your recent "tips" . . . and then I thought about how I've written 3 books (300 pgs total) this year & this effort has brought me to the point where I finally feel like I'm ready to write my first REAL book. In other words, reaching any goal takes plodding unwavering effort, not frilly wishing! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
