Wishing is not wanting

There’s a stark difference between wishing for something and wanting for something.

Wishing is something that we hope will occur without our direct involvement. It’s a sweet and hopeful dream, which almost never becomes a reality by itself.

Wanting, on the other hand, is something that kicks off an action. It’s a goal that you actively pursue, even in exchange of your own leisure time.

There are plenty of people who wish, but very few that really want. When choosing who to work with, keep that in mind.
