Wishing at 11:11

When 11:11 rolls around whether it be night or day, you can always find that someone somewhere is wishing. Although this is just seen as another moment of the day some have a deeper connection to this particular time. Wishing at that precise minute is suggested to have some sort of astrological connection to a higher power. Eventhough its just a minute, perhaps it is special in some way or maybe its just some tradition that we hold on to? While some choose to wish for a better life or good grades some choose a more selfless wish, we don't remember how we stumbled upon the 11:11 time but when we remember to check the clock and catch that moment.

I'm am a honest person and I can honestly say I rarely keep anything inside, my close friends know almost every aspect of my life and that's how I choose to live, in an open and honest fashion. I pray everynight for those that aren't as fortunate as I, I pray for family members that I selfishly want to stay alive to watch me graduate college and grow into my own. I wish for global warming to cease, for the people with cancer who should live for their families, for the less fortunate to find comfort in something through their difficult times. I think you get the picture...I wish for a better world we live in and that somehow everything will cohesively mesh together to create a Utopia, although I know its never going to be possible. From the bottom of my heart I wish that happiness will find all throughout their life.

By all means I'm not preaching that I'm the most selfless person to ever grace the Earth and that I go around doing great deeds for all because I don't. I should do more to help others like participate in the blood drive at SF State or even volunteering at shelters but I, like everyone else is consumed with school and honestly just being lazy. Yet, when the eleventh minute comes on the eleventh hour of the day I try to wish for the people that need a little prayer, that need that little something extra...a simple prayer can go a long way.

I definitely don't catch the 11:11 everyday and that's when I turn to my nightly prayer before I hit the sheets at the end of the day.

Now that's a little taste of how I wish for the important stuff and a little insight on what I choose to operate my wishful thinking. I hope everyone wishes for what they desire most, whether it be selfless or not; wishing can transpire to hopes and dreams. Dream big and wish hard, I suggest at 11:11, if you can catch it in time.
