What if your wish list would become your to do list?

I was thinking today on wish lists and to do lists. They are both the same type of life-happening lists, only that on the to do list we may have things that we don't like and really want to do. Also the one on the to-do list are more urgent then the one on the wish list. Anyways I was thinking, what am I waiting for to put all the wish things on the to do list? What's stopping me to have it all now and what's in the way?

First that came to mind was of course the classing excuse: no time and no money. Aren't this the big stoppers in our lives? If I would only have the time or money to do it... I noticed thou that actually those are not the cause for me not having my wish list on the to do list. If I have to fix my car, like my break just starting whistling on me the other day, the time and money becomes an non issue instantly. I got to fix my car, so I just made time and I just made a budget for it. Just like that. What I sow was that what had me create a space for that to happen was simply of matter of prioritizing as a thought in my head, and not the time/money situation as I thought it is.

If it's just a matter of creating an urgent priority thought in my head, then I could basically create that for any item on my wish list, couldn't I? I could. So what's in the way is not really the lack of time and money, but rather the reasoning thought that I lack those. It's not real, as when my car started making a noise, the time and money become available right away without even further consideration. So I already had the time and money but I related to them as they are not accessible and made that be my reality.

Are the reasoning thoughts really what has us not get the life we'd love to live? How do I create an urgency for the wish list to become my daily to do list? Does my car needs to break to have it taken care of? DO I need to reach 200pounds to seriously start considering dropping the extra weight that it's been piling up? Do I have to be really truly miserable at work to leave it for my dream job? Do I need to run myself down to create the urgency to build me up?

Obviously this is the way I've been operating. Does it "need" to be like that? Well, not really! There's no "need" to be any other way but what I choose to. To me, it's quite free-ing to realize that I do have the time and money if I would only relate to something as being demandingly urgent.

So what I'm up to next is to bring that to my wish list, and make a priority out of creating a life to passionately and madly fall in love with...
