The Danger of Wishful Thinking
I guess, really, I created this blog for a bitch session. Today, my mig was a 5 when I woke up and now it's an 8. I took a phenergan for nausea, a fioricet and a maxalt for the headache. The weather's lousy. Wonder sometimes if that has something to do with it? But, my husband, Stuart, says that it doesn't since I have the migs whether or not the weather is good.I want to talk about wishful thinking. Wishful thinking is allowing yourself to live in a dillusion. I do it and have to catch myself. Living in the present doesn't leave room or allow for wishful thinking. I mean, it's not based on reality. The Dali Lama would probably advise against it, since the most peaceful path in life is to face reality. Living in the moment is important. Not worrying about the future. Not regretting the past.
But, it doesn't mean that you give up hope witch is entirely different from wishfullness. I mean, wishing is being in the present and wanting to be somewhere else, something else, someone else. But, hope is like having faith. It's not based on anything that's happening now, but an interior knowledge that things will change for the better. It's like an everflowing stream inside your consciousness, your mind, your soul that the darkness, at some point will turn to light. Having hope or faith will keep you alive. Wishing is futility, nonsense, and only leads to frustration, anger and despair when you realize, in moments of lucidity, that nothing is how you want it to be.
So, I try not to wish the present different, but to have hope that one day my present will be better than it is now. I have faith which gives me the sure knowledge that I can face the future with courage and strength no matter what the outcome. And no matter what my outcome, because I have hope and faith, I will be at peace in the present-not thinking of the future constantly and not regretting the past. This way, I am and have my being in today.

Jessica,
I couldn't agree more! I have found that faith keeps me going and wishful thinking drags me down.
