There are plenty of people that will wish for good results, or hope for such, but wishing or hoping is never the same thing as doing; for those that wish for something, whether for themselves or for others, but are not willing to put forth the genuine effort to get there, or even to thoughtfully map out a plan which demonstrates some aforethought, and then therefore devote some resources to accomplishing such, are subsequently not going to be getting anywhere of merit, anytime soon. The bottom line, is that wishing is the lazy person's plan to achieve things, and not too surprisingly, those that simply wish, and go no further through their own individual effort, will progress not a whit.
It is easy to complain, and all sorts of people are prone to doing exactly that; of which some things so complained upon, are not susceptible to being easily corrected or even ever corrected, whereas some things, especially through extraordinary effort and persistence most certainly can be. This thus signifies that what we so do definitely matters and that all those that have the intrepid spirit to get beyond the wishing stage, so as to actually pursue what so needs to be pursued, are putting themselves on the pathway of making a difference, by doing their part to not only help the cause, but, even more importantly, typically risking something of value or worth to get there.
Those that so desire to live in a world of wishful entitlement, are living in the smallest of worlds, of which, they are limiting themselves to basically climbing the littlest of hills, and fording the shallowness of streams. If they think, therefore, that they are actually making a meaningful contribution to making this a better world, they are sadly mistaken; for those that want to effect change, and those that want to do their part for the noblest of causes, as well as for the good of societies, are only those that are willing to participate in the positive actions of purpose, that necessitate a consequential commitment of blood, sweat, and tears.
If we could simply wish for things and then they so occurred, then that would make us godlike, but we are not gods. Instead, we are gifted with the power to discern those causes of good repute, that are worthy of our time and effort, therefore often leading others of like mindedness to commit to such, and with the purposeful devotion of those people, as well as those others that join the cause along the way, meaningful progress is so made.
It must be said, that simply wishing or hoping or desiring for good things to occur, without corresponding actions, is the error of believing that right thinking brings right results. In truth, right thinking is only the beginning of what could bring right results; and of which in order for such to be actualized, is going to necessitate the extensive effort of good people – determined to settle for nothing less than the goal so set forth, of which to obtain that certain something of real merit and worth, will require commitment, foresight, focus, and the unrelenting purpose to keep on going till the destination is reached.
