3 Wishes

Imagine that you are walking along a beautiful moonlit beach with the warm waves gently kissing your toes. As your gaze extends ahead of you, you notice something shining in the moonlight. You assume that it might be a piece of broken glass and since you don’t want to step on it, your attention is fixed on the object as your walk closer. Soon, you realize that it isn’t a piece of glass at all, but rather some sort of shiny metal sticking out of the sand. You pull on it and while it moves a little, it remains buried in the wet sand. Intrigued, you drop to your knees and begin digging around the object. After a few moments, you are holding an ancient looking lamp that looks as though it was dropped by Aladdin himself. After a quick look around to make sure that no one is watching, you decide to rub the lamp – just for fun.

The next thing you know you are face to face with a ethereal floating genie, who may or may not sound like Robin Williams as he tells you that he will now grant you three wishes!

Here’s my question to you: “How long does it take you to answer?”

Do you know what you want?

How many of us can actually articulate what it is that we want out of life?
