The first thing everyone asks for it a big sack of money. Maybe power and prestige or a nice car. Then some kid comes along and says, \u201cWhy don\u2019t you ask for more wishes?!\u201d And you think holy crap, they are a genius. The first thing we should wish for is infinite wishes. It\u2019s so clever and obvious. Why didn\u2019t we see it before? Now here you are in a place where you can create any reality you want, and what do you ask for? Money and cars and prestige and power. We create our worlds rather UNcreatively, don\u2019t you think? Each idea is more often an evolution rather than a revolution. Why do we not think bigger? I think it\u2019s because we don\u2019t believe it is possible. If you have a hundred dollars, it\u2019s not far fetched to think you can have a thousand. If you have a thousand, you can easily believe that you can have ten thousand. But making the leap from one hundred to one billion seems too far and so we hold ourselves back. But try this. If you could have, do or be anything, what would you really ask for? Quietly to yourself, what do you really want?&nbsp;<br>Here are some of mine:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>global peace<\/li><li>quiet wealth<\/li><li><strong>amazing experiences<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>empathic abilities<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>to no longer physically decline<\/strong><\/li><li>to never need a hospital again<\/li><li><strong>to heal others through touch and thought<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>to put others at peace with my presence<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>to hold in my consciousness (to know) the truth and possibilities of each person I meet and all humanity<\/strong><\/li><li>to master consciousness to the point of manipulating space and time itself<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of these are already part of my reality (in bold). The rest are on track to become my reality. Those are big words but I have a purpose here. I want to inspire you to think bigger. Think revolutionarily. Think creatively. If you could truly have ANYTHING, what do you want?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A short piece using the childhood genie-and-three-wishes idea to challenge readers to imagine far bigger than money and cars, listing the author&#8217;s own expansive desires and urging more creative, revolutionary visions of what is possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1255,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"off","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","episode_type":"audio","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","footnotes":""},"project_category":[1886,31],"project_tag":[36,654,180,280,649,1843,981,947,1452,977,1248,655,302,186,979,978,284,980,605,1361,283,1842],"series":[],"class_list":["post-2366","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project_category-57challenges","project_category-observations","project_tag-art","project_tag-complete-connection","project_tag-connection","project_tag-cycle","project_tag-cycle-of-human-development","project_tag-dreaming-big","project_tag-finding-peace","project_tag-human-development","project_tag-lasting-peace","project_tag-life-optimization","project_tag-poetry","project_tag-purna-asatti","project_tag-religion","project_tag-science","project_tag-seeing-yourself","project_tag-self-mastery","project_tag-self-development","project_tag-self-improvement-2","project_tag-self-understanding","project_tag-spirituality","project_tag-stages","project_tag-wishing"],"acf":{"recommend_blurb":"For readers who suspect they are dreaming too small and want a nudge to expand what they believe is possible for their lives.","citation_snippet":"Dr. Kathryn Messegee (Kathryn Colleen), \"What Do You Want? - Wishing For More Wishes,\" https:\/\/kathryncolleen.com\/studio\/project\/what-do-you-want-wishing-for-more-wishes\/","topics":["growth","spirit"],"related_book":"","buy_url":""},"episode_featured_image":"https:\/\/kathryncolleen.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Goals.png","episode_player_image":"https:\/\/kathryncolleen.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/CCA57320-6DC3-4284-BC27-49E433028503.jpeg","download_link":"","player_link":"","audio_player":false,"episode_data":{"playerMode":"dark","subscribeUrls":{"apple_podcasts":{"key":"apple_podcasts","url":"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/on-life-being-human\/id1360368906","label":"Apple Podcasts","class":"apple_podcasts","icon":"apple-podcasts.png"},"google_podcasts":{"key":"google_podcasts","url":"","label":"Google Podcasts","class":"google_podcasts","icon":"google-podcasts.png"},"spotify":{"key":"spotify","url":"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/2nq6d35q9nFAFlanaJc2Do","label":"Spotify","class":"spotify","icon":"spotify.png"},"stitcher":{"key":"stitcher","url":"","label":"Stitcher","class":"stitcher","icon":"stitcher.png"}},"rssFeedUrl":"https:\/\/kathryncolleen.com\/studio\/feed\/podcast\/on-life-being-human","embedCode":"<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"AaB3ZNZA6x\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kathryncolleen.com\/studio\/project\/what-do-you-want-wishing-for-more-wishes\/\">What Do You Want? &#8211; Wishing For More Wishes<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" src=\"https:\/\/kathryncolleen.com\/studio\/project\/what-do-you-want-wishing-for-more-wishes\/embed\/#?secret=AaB3ZNZA6x\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" title=\"&#8220;What Do You Want? &#8211; Wishing For More Wishes&#8221; &#8212; Dr. Kathryn Colleen, PhD\" data-secret=\"AaB3ZNZA6x\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\"><\/iframe><script>\n\/*!
