Wishing versus Working
It is simply not enough to wish for health or to hope it happens. At some point, we need to realize that time is going to pass regardless. We must be willing to work for what we desire in that given time. No one is going to give it to us. No one else will want your dream of being healthy as much as you do. That dream belongs to you, but only if you are willing to work for it. You must take immediate action and put in the hard work to make that dream a reality. Not tomorrow, not next week, not at the beginning of the new year. You need to take action now.
Wishing for something to happen is for suckers. Working for something to happen is for achievers. Be an achiever.
