Distinctions Between Wishes and Beliefs: |
Wish: |
Wish is an expectation, a desire for something to happen that we want to be different in the present or futureâused for impossible or unlikely things.
Wishes can help us feel better and give us hope and strength to fight and even overcome situations. Wish is often passionate or ambitious. They arise from personal desires or unmet needs. Desires can be spontaneous and do not necessarily require a rational basis. Wishes act as motivation, making us strive for goals or creating a vision for what we want the future to look like. However, desires alone do not usually drive concrete actions unless they are linked to actions or beliefs. Example: |
Belief: |
Beliefs are things we hold to be true. They are our emotional acceptance of claiming them as valid, whether we have any evidence of their objective truth or not. Our self-image is what we believe to be true about ourselves.
Belief in something makes it suitable and can be achieved. Trust is usually more stable and permanent. We must believe what we can see or prove. It is better to listen to our hearts, believe, and consider what we will do. Beliefs about ourselves, such as “I can,” drive our motivation and can empower us. A desire to do what we naturally do. Doing something beyond our ability to challenge is action. When action ends, our faith begins. Beliefs shape our worldview and influence behavior. Beliefs can drive decision-making, influence values, and influence our responses to various situations. For example, if you believe in the importance of education, you can prioritize learning and support educational initiatives. Example: |

Thank you for sharing this insightful reflection on the relationship between wishes and beliefs. The distinction youâve highlighted between desire and belief is both profound and thought-provoking. Understanding that a wish is a hope or longing, while belief is the action that drives those desires into reality, is crucial for personal growth and achievement.
Indeed, while wishes can inspire and motivate us, it is our beliefsâgrounded in confidence and commitmentâthat ultimately shape our actions and guide us towards our goals. The equation “Wish + Action = Belief” perfectly encapsulates this dynamic process. When we actively work towards what we wish for, those efforts are transformed into beliefs that empower us and bring our aspirations closer to fruition.
Your examples beautifully illustrate how wishes can inspire dreams, but it is belief that gives us the strength and determination to pursue those dreams with purpose. This perspective is invaluable for anyone looking to bridge the gap between their aspirations and their reality.
Thank you for this thought-provoking contribution, which serves as a powerful reminder to all of us to not just wish for a better future but to believe in it and take the necessary actions to make it happen.
