OK, so I watched the pilot of Eastwick (an update from the Updike novel and film starring Cher, Susan Sarandon and Michelle Pfieffer) last night.
Their wishes were granted after throwing coins into a fountain and while it all seems very contrived (though enjoyably glossy and escapist fun), it got me thinking.
Wishes seems frivolous. Lazy. Superstitious.
And yet, allowing ourselves to acknowledge what we want as if we could use magic to get it frees up our minds enough to admit things we wouldn't normally allow ourselves to dwell on.
Think about it. If you knew you could have anything in the world, what would you wish for?
World peace?
A cure for AIDS?
An amazing relationship?
Your children's futures to be secure and happy?
Kids?
An amazing book deal?
Business success?
List as many outlandish things as you can think of. Then ask yourself which "wishes" you're prepared to work towards.
What first step can you take today?
