Five Wishes: How Answering One Simple Question Can Make Your Dreams Come True

Review of "Five Wishes" Gay Hendricks talks about a chance encounter that improved his life. His advice resonated with my own experience and I can believe what he says. The author takes his own advice. He talks about things that have worked for him. He makes sure that what he writes is true and has worked to improve somebody's life. Also, he is qualified through both academic training and discipline and through personal growth. The author is disarmingly candid. This process can change the quality of life. This book is a fresh and positive life dynamic. The sixth chapter invites the reader to participate in the five wish process. You will learn something about yourself if you participate in the exercise. It was such a good exercise and the answers could be written in the book. I learned about my own limiting beliefs through the final exercise. I recommend to a reader that they read the first five chapters and then go directly into doing the exercise in chapter six. I recommend this book.

This small book offers fresh insight and clarity in the process of creation, especially in the first step of knowing what you want. From the perspective of your deathbed, look at your life - is it a complete success? If not, what do you wish you have accomplished? I realize I am often so wrapped up in the current situation that I lose sight of the big picture. It is like running a business from day to day without the mission and vision. I may make my end meet (highly unlikely in a poorly planned business, but I may get lucky . . .) but will I have the contentment and the sense of success? When I think about life from the perspective of death, small things like having a nice car and house just fall off the picture. It is not like I don't want them - I do intend to have a good life and be wealthy - but there are far more important things, and I know small things will come along when I work on the big things. As the character in the book points out, we tend to aim too low. I was living to make a living and have some good time along the way. He was "merely wishing for a meaningful life." He continues saying "Why not wish for a magnificent life of complete fulfillment?" Big wishes I embrace wholeheartedly and feel enthusiastic about ignite the magic power of creation. They send out strong messages to the Universe. Petty wishes, on the other hand, fail to inspire us and just don't summon the magic energy within us. The book describes the author's five wishes and how they have manifested. Even if his wishes are different from yours, I strongly recommend reading it through because he presents great spiritual guides in a simple easy-to-understand manner. For example, do you identify with his anxiety of wanting to do something else while doing one thing, never really savoring the thing you are doing? I devoured the book in a day and wrote and re-wrote my five wishes in my journal. Then I read my wishes aloud many times until I really got the hung of them. Try it for yourself and feel what energetic difference it brings! (I must warn you this book is only good if you actually take the question seriously and write down your wishes. It is a very practical book for spiritual growth.)

This book is on how to discover five wishes that will give you a fulfilled life beginning from the perspective of looking back. A stranger had asked the author to imagine himself on his deathbed and to consider this question: "Was your life a complete success?" If not, "What would be the things you'd wish had happened that would have made it a success?" This is a great technique for unlocking the power of "tricking" ourselves into figuring out what is truly most important to us and what is our destiny. How sad to live our whole life and never really ask ourselves, "What is my destiny?" This book reminds me to focus on pursuing what is most important in life.
