I don’t know about you, but whenever I’m asked to create a wish list, it’s usually a very short one. My wishes don’t run to yachts and helicopters or Arabian ponies – or whatever the latest craze of the rich and famous happens to be.

I understand I’m pretty normal. It seems that the longer we live, the shorter our list of wishes becomes, as experience tells us that wish as we may, our wishes will never come true.

According to Lynn Grabhorn, this state of affairs begins in our childhood - or perhaps even while we’re waiting to be born. As we’re floating in that amniotic fluid, already some of the parent’s anxiety is reaching us. For while two may live as cheaply as one, three – especially if one of them is a baby – definitely can’t. If you’ve seen the episode of ‘The Simpsons’ where Homer is told by his wife that she’s expecting a baby,you might have laughed at his hysterical reactions. However, though most of us wouldn't admit this to our best friend, those reaction are probably closer to reality than those portrayed by romantic movies.

But even if our birth is a happy event, certainly our childhood is fraught with parental fears and dreads. It’s suggested that by the time children reach their third year, they have heard the word ‘no’ (or equivalent) at least 60,000 times. If a child learns anything from these three years, it’s that that the world is a dangerous place and it’s a lot safer not to do anything. It’s the exceptional person who survives the ‘don’ts’ and ‘nos’ to continue to look for challenges. Most of us settle just for security and peace of mind.

And therein lies the human tragedy, says Lynn, because you are the creator of your life, and you can have your yachts and helicopters if you choose to have them. It’s all up to you. Get over the hurdle of being careful and begin to stretch out for the good things in life. Stop focusing and questioning the wrongs of the world you’ve been taught from the day you were born, and live a little.

Just remember, whatever it is you want to appear in your world, all it takes is to create that wonderful feeling of having and enjoying it. The Law of Attraction affirms that feelings are like magnets, with positive emotions attracting positive outcomes. Put out into the universe all your negative emotions and negative outcomes is what you’ll get in return. Put out positive emotions and positive outcome will be the result.
