How to Make Your Wishes Come True

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Have you ever wanted to be able to do everything you ever dreamt of or wished for? It's easy and a great way to get to know yourself better.

Steps

1. Make a list of what you want in life.
   
2. Prioritize the items on your list. Begin with what is most important to you.
   
3. Determine what you need to do to have that wish come true. For example,
   
   • Wish: To play the guitar well
     
   • Need to do: Take classes
     
   • Sit with a friend who knows how to play and get tips
     
   • Get some books from the library
     
   • Search the internet for information
     
   
   
4. Make it a point to do what you need to do in order to make your wish come true. Start slowly.
   

Tips

• Know exactly what you want because what you might have wanted when you were ten years old is not as important when you are fifteen years old.
  
• Are you doing this for yourself or for someone else? This will determine whether you'll stick to what you need to do to get what you want.
  
• Have patience. You have to keep practicing in order to get better. You also have to keep trying even if you fail the first few times.
  
• If you complete all the items on your list, congratulations! You can now start a new list with many new wishes. Life is filled with many opportunities and so much to offer.
  

Warnings

• As you are doing the tasks required to make your wish come true, you might learn or realize that this isn’t really what you want. Don’t be discouraged; it might lead to a new dream and/or a better understanding of who you are as a person.
  
• There might be more to do than what you initially thought, but understand that it is an iterative process.
  
• Wishes come true through hard work and persistence. It is not something that will happen instantly.
