I "wish"....and....I "will" ( Archived) (69)

What do you think you could have accomplished in your life if you had said the words "I will...." instead of "I wish..."

What do you think would happen if you changed the possibilities of your life to the probabilities that would occur in your life...

Would you be where you are today still?...would you have accomplished more...?

No I would have accomplished far more...I still could but don't want to spend that many more years in school...2 years 6 years ago was enough...I would love to be a criminal profiler but would have to go to school for waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy to many more years!!!!!!!!!

I could do it if I put my mind to it...I just don't have the patience anymore!!!!!!!!!!

Oh dear...an appalling question Ursilla!

Taken outa my hands...but I would so have loved to have been given the opprtunity to realise just half of my true potential.

Arrogance aside, I coulda been a contender!

Is that what the problem is...not realising until too late what our potential is?

Everything I wished I'd done and hadn't due to marrying at 18, I've done since my divorce.

Settled in Spain I accepted a job in Russia despite my age and the various risks involved so I will continue to grab any possibility that comes along.

Life is too short to wish.

I think sometimes life gets in the way then by the time we think about and look at our potential rather than just making ends meet...It's later in life because we made ourselves the last priority....OR sometimes we aren't sure what we want to do with out potential...which was pretty much my case!!!!!!!!

Not that simple.

There's so much talent in the world which goes undeveloped.

I used to be a window cleaner...I could do it alone and suit myself as to when I worked...when I was able to get out and work to be more precise.

Met this chap at a hostel type place...he'd been to jail...lovely bloke. He commented on the talent he'd seen and witnessed while in jail..."but they're all just afraid Phil...they're just scared kids...damaged".

Some need a reasonable platform from which to achieve...stability which should be the right of any child...allowing them to develop.

While here are those who have the fortitude to overcome such hurdles...many don't.

And it just gets lost.

Something called " life " and " circumstances "

If only there were more people with priviliges willing to help another , there would be more fortunate people by virtue of someones realisation of humanity.

This is SO true!! I really do believe that if children get the proper guidance and a sense of self worth and the motivation to believe in themselves.. we wouldn't have half the problems we do. I have a friend who is on Government committees in Ireland for Childcare and is a strong advocate for the welfare of the child and she was telling me that there are some children that she came accross in the course of her work who were amazed when they saw a potato.. they had lived on a diet of chocolate and crisps if they were lucky!!!... how can kids in those circumstances grow up to be the building blocks of society.... before they are ten they have already come to accept that they are 'scumbags' and therefore worthless....
