Tradition seems to dictate that you can make a wish on your birthday when you blow out your candles. Of course, for the most part, people sit around and wait for these wishes to come true. Unfortunately, many birthday wishes stay unanswered and it can make you lose faith in this fun tradition.

What people often don’t realize is that they can take matters into their own hands. Fate doesn’t have to be the one to answer your birthday wishes! In fact, you can take different steps to make your own wishes come true. It may not happen overnight or even within a few weeks, but when you set your mind to it, you really don’t have to leave your wish unanswered.

Start By Making A Wish

It is simple enough to make a wish, but can you really make a good one? When your birthday comes, make sure you really think about what you want. People often wish for impossible things, but that can be setting yourself up for failure. Since you’re going to be working around the clock to make your wish come true, make sure it is something you have the opportunity to accomplish.

Blowing out your candles and making that wish is just another way to reaffirm that it is something you really want. It is a bit like setting a goal for your future, just throwing a bit of chance and fate into the mix. For that moment before blowing out your candles, envision your wish coming true and yourself working towards accomplishing it!

Write Your Wish Down

The next step after making your birthday wish is to write it down! This will help you realize that it is a dream you really want and it is something you are truly willing to work towards. When you write something down, it become physical to the point where you can touch it, feel it and envision it making your life better.

Once you have written down your wish, keep it with you always as a reminder. Keep it tucked under your pillow at night or put it in your wallet where you can see it. The deeper your connection with the wish, the harder you will work towards achieving it.

Making A Plan

Birthday wishes are just hopes and dreams, until you really buckle down and dedicate yourself to making it all come true. One of the best ways to do that is to come up with a game plan! Your plan should be detailed and well-thought out. After all, it isn’t important to just make a goal, but to figure out the different steps that you need to take in order to make it all happen.

Start by getting a sheet of paper and writing down your goal on top. For example, maybe your goal is to get a better job. What you would need to do is consider your strengths and weaknesses, and the level of education you have. If you want your wish to be even more catered to your needs, be specific about the job you want.

Work on what needs to be done in order to get one step closer to your goal. It always helps to give yourself time, but also a deadline. Most people tend to daydream about their birthday wishes as opposed to actively working on making the necessary changes in their lives.

Believe In Your Wish

It is undeniable that one of the most common reasons that people fail to experience the fulfillment of their wish is because they simply don’t believe in it. People often joke around and make a wish they know is impossible. Partly, it is true that a birthday wish is supposed to be something magical, but putting all of your beliefs into something that is unlikely to happen could be setting yourself up for failure.

Believe in your wish and your ability to fulfill it. It is something that will be easy for you to do if the wish is something truly near and dear to you. Remember, there may be miracles all around us, but you must be willing to work towards accomplishing your wish as well.

Getting There With The Right Attitude

As a last word of advice, you can truly accomplish almost anything with the right attitude. Don’t set yourself up for failure and certainly don’t be too hard on yourself. Everyone works towards their goals at their own pace, and you will too! Have the attitude of a winner as opposed to that of a loser, and you can change your life one day at a time.

Making your birthday wish come true isn’t just about making the right wish. In fact, there really isn’t such a thing as the “right” wish, but making a realistic wish that you know you can realistically work towards accomplishing is one that is sure to come true.

If your birthday is just around the corner, give your next wish some real thought. It may come as a surprise to you, but most people just feel stunned when the birthday cake shows up and they really don’t know what to wish for. It is important you don’t feel cornered or make a hasty wish you really don’t want. Don’t ruin your birthday, but use it as the ultimate starting point for working towards making your one real goal happen.
