"I wish......" I catch myself with wishing something every other day. About a year ago, I realized that "I wish.... " [View all]

takes away my responsibility and power and gives it to an imaginary force in the universe.

Now, when I catch myself "wishing," I ask myself what could I do to make "it" happen. Or what did I do to make things turn out as they did instead of how I would be better off if I did something differently, Or I focus on something that can be changed towards a better outcome.

This gives me insight into the control I have in my life and areas of my life in which I have no control,
