Shel Silverstein tells the story of a fellow named Lester who was gifted a wish by a goblin. With his wish he wished for more wishes. With those wishes, he wished for more. Soon, Lester had accumulated more wishes that a person could use in a lifetime.
Finally at the end of his life, he found himself surrounded by wishes but feeling quite empty. Everyone else had children, jobs, lives, joys, hopes and dreams. Everyone else had stepped up to the plate of life and accomplished things.
Lester had wishes.
Don't wish your life away. Get to work on what you can.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
