It's been a week of reflection for me. I realized how I have had a lot of wishful thinking lately. Wishful thinking is not bad in itself, but it becomes bad when you don't do all that is required to make those wishful thoughts a reality. It is one thing to have desires; it is another thing to map out the strategies that will help bring those desires to reality and ultimately follow through with those strategies diligently.

While having my Bible study this week, two scriptures stood out to me differently. Firstly, it was Proverbs 19:2 NIV, says "Desire without knowledge is not good— how much more will hasty feet miss the way". Secondly, Proverbs 10:4 says, "He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand; but the hand of the diligent maketh rich". Also, Leslei Holares says "Stop your wishful thinking; go and make it happen".

In conclusion, desires are good, but to see them materialize, three things must be in place. Firstly, clarity on the desire. Secondly, mapping out strategies or plans to help achieve these desires. Lastly, being disciplined enough to follow through. This might require setting up an accountability system that puts you in check.

I hope you found this piece helpful, and thanks for reading.

Cheers to a great week ahead!
