If you could bring something into your life overnight, what would you bring and why?
PS: If my writings mean something to you and if you feel you can learn anything from me, check out my book (Fighting the Inside Dragons) on Amazon in both Kindle and Paperback format!
Letting my imagination run wild, I would want a lavish green field and river near my house. I can sit by and behold nature with my eyes.
Oh, it seems so peacefully!
Beautiful idea
That would indicate that I know better than God- I have everything that I am supposed to have at this moment
Congratulations! That’s awesome! <3
End of all innocent suffering
Can only think of this question in an abstract way, but looking at the current state of inactivity I am in, I would want some singleminded resolve and inspiration right now.
That’s interesting! What’s the main issue you’re encountering right now?
Well, I was supposed to be productive and inspired to do all I would need to do to achieve a particular goal I had set to achieve. The deadline I had was 31st May. But because of the Covid situation, the deadline naturally got postponed indefinitely. I guess it is the uncertainity of it all, or the absence of a deadline, that has made my vision all hazy, and I am left anchorless. It all seems pointless. Hence, I would want some inspiration to be productive, even if there is no deadline or end goal in sight. I hope I am making sense!
Yes, it makes total sense! I think that in the lack of external deadlines, you can make your own deadline and stick to them just as they were external…
my one childhood friend is in UK and and other is in a city nearly 130 km from my house, i wish to have a party with both of them.
That’s very nice! Since when you haven’t seen both of them?
i am from india, and the one who is in england , i had met him ladt time in 2012, and another is 130 km , i met him in last summer vacations, june 2019.
Health. I don’t want to lose my productivity over it.
Do you have any issues in that area?
Sadly, yes. Serious ones.
I’m very sorry to hear that…
I am coping by writing.
Knowledge gleaned from past failures, but without the repercussions of the failures. It’s one thing to wish to be wise. It’s another to accept what it often takes to become so.
Interesting… how are those repercussions still affecting you?
I’ve hurt the ones I love in the past through neglect and taking them for granted. Time heals all wounds but can leave a hell of a scar. Something that has influenced my response above is I recently read Viktor Frankl’s “Man’s Search For Meaning.” In the book, he wrote about his Logotherapy. Its categorical imperative is: “Live as if you were living already for the second time and as if you had acted the first time as wrongly as you’re about to act now!”
Oh if we are allowed anything at all, it would be people I’ve loved who have passed. Even one more day 😊
Beautiful! Which people?
Peace.
Agree with you completely!
Oh yes! I’d also love to have that!
I want maturity in my perspective. I want to see the world with the right lense, it’s really been difficult these past few days.
Very interesting! How do those “right lense” look like?
Perhaps, a view of optimism.
Perhaps some objectivity from outside myself and my own thoughts. Often I can write something about my life, post it even, and then wonder, “Is that REALLY true? Does it matter?”
I often think about that too. However, my first reply is: “It’s true to me, therefore it matters to me. ” I believe that writing has a selfish component, so if something you write is important to you, it will be reflected in your writings. If you right stuff you don’t really care about, your writings will reflect that lack of emotion…
Bring back my Pa into life. So he could spend time with my little one whom he never got to meet. 🙂
I’m very sorry for your loss! How long ago did he passed away?
A long while ago (2008). He would’ve been 98 this year. 🙂
Reciprocated love. It doesn’t need further explanation.
Yeah… that’s one of the toughest things…
My brother who took his life 11 years ago., he was loved by us but we did a lousy job showing it! A second chance to show him.
That’s really tough… I’m very sorry for your loss! May I ask the reason why he chose to do this?
We grew up with an alcoholic father when my mother and father separated I stayed with my mom, he stayed with my dad, growing up he felt alone when he was 18 he came to live with my mom expecting a family unity that we are selves didn’t have. He felt rejected and alone, we all worked and didn’t see the sign of depression as expressed it with anger.
I love overthinking, and while it does take time, it’s seldom pointless. There are amazing answers on here! What a great crowd! What I’d like to have come into my life overnight would be a sense of Home. I’ve had that 3 times before in my life, so I know it’s possible, and it’s something I’d love my kids to have as well. Thanks for the thinking. 🙂
Thank you very much for reading and for your kind words! What it is needed to have that sense of Home?
I would bring into my life, and everyone else’s, a new perspective of the world. One where no one pays an ounce of attention to someone else’s race or disability or gender or whatever. A world where we live in harmony. And here’s the thing!!! The word “harmony” LITERALLY MEANS that there are DIFFERENT and UNIQUE tunes, and they are woven together to create a beautiful song BECAUSE of their differences!!! This is what frustrates me, because so many people fail to understand that.
I could go on for days but I’m going to stop here.
I totally get that. The lack of understanding that there are different perspectives in this world is what causes so many problems. That’s why our world is soo f*cked up.
Only a poem will do, and only a poem written here and now is appropriate.

Jehovah’s Kingdom on earth. Why? Because then there will be no disease, no war, no crime, no violence, no animosity, no prejudice. The earth would become a paradise, everyone would live together in peace, no hunger, no homelessness. Just perfection as God intended.
A little more ability to accept that bad things happen to good people and sometimes good things happen to bad people. Faith in that people will eventually feel the weight of their own decisions and a peaceful life for all!
True! I relate to that very well lately. It seems that life is not fair…
Life is always fair, for everything unfolds based on cause and effect.
I’d bring a world in which the sacredness of life is a living reality and all beings are treated with respect, compassion and dignity.
It would be such a beautiful place! <3
It will be!! Believing is seeing (eventually). Right?
Yes! 😀
A second me – perhaps a third – there just isn’t enough time in one day to experience and do everything I want to.
I’m so happy you manage to squeeze the most you can out of a day! <3
Happiness and mental strength
I think it starts with believing in yourself!
For the world: peace and tolerance. For myself: motivation. And a job.
In your opinion, why there is a lack of motivation?
I would want two of my best friends live next door, so that we could share our lives again.
Nice! How far are they now?
One of them is 500 miles, second is 1500 miles away
This is a hard one. What comes to mind first lately would be peace. To just be able to take a breath and really feel at peace. I wish that for myself and the rest of the world. But then also not to forget the drive to make things better. The balance is key, but first stemming from peace. Great question as always…
Thank you very much for your kind words! I noticed that lately it became very hard to just take a breath and calm the mind… I guess it might me because of this pandemic…
Easy! Don’t overthink. I would bring my dreams.
What is the main reason of your overthinking?
Ease Ease and Ease to myself and the world. To bring ease to every situation we are in.
Yeah… as humans, we tend to complicate it so much…
Yes we do complicate it
Wow – I’ve been reading through this comment feed and I like them all. I agree with so many. Especially the ones wishing to see passed loved ones one last time.
Thank you very much for reading! <3
My family. I live away from them, would love to live close to them again
What needs to change in your life so you can love close to them again?
Continued peace within my soul, and the continued willingness to pay kindness forward.
That is the most important thing! <3
The ability to speak and understand any language I want 😅.
I’m a 3d artist and classical singer… It would be cool to understand songs I hear and would like to sing without googling the lyrics and meaning…
And for 3d, I come across a ton of tutorials that are what I’m looking for, but with no subtitles… Expecially Japanese 😅
That would be awesome! 😀
Reading through these were fun… Truthfully, there are many things people want, but at the end of the day, we all need to take active steps to getting there!
Yes, very true! Action is key!
Clean environment in the world. Respect for nature.
Yes! Most people tend to ignore it these days…
Get through these times successfully with our loved ones.
We’re strong so we’ll get through it! And I hope we learn some lessons along the way…
I’ve been thinking about this question for a couple of days now, trying to figure out what I would truly like to have. Turns out I can not come up with something real, I have an amazing house, enough money, a loving boyfriend, amazing bunny and I truly enjoy whatever happens in my days. Of course I could always have more but I don’t really need it. I’m happy with my life and myself, and even happy with the process of recovering from my burnout, I don’t need anything else for now besides the time to get to know myself. Thank you so much for making me see this!
Thank you very much for reading! I’m thrilled you realized you have exactly what you need!
That’s a tough question, I would say love. Because if we all had love no one would treat one another so badly and the world be in such harmony.
Very interesting! Is love enough to do this? Some people love power, others love money… I guess some form of love exists in all of us…
It exist but you right it gets overpowered by other things like you mentioned. Money, power… it’s useless when we’re dead… lol
Presence. The ability to feel emotions fully and to be present in each moment.
That would be perfect! We live so much in the past or in the future that we ignore the present too much…
Tough, there are so many. Unimaginable wealth would gain you power and influence to change things like poverty, lack of Healthcare, education, etc.
I think the number one thing would be to help create personal value for every individual in the world, so they are empowered to live the life they deserve, and then strive to make the world a better place for everyone!
That is so noble and beautiful! Can it be done without wealth?
I think so… people can always choose to be the best person they can. Finding your personal value and living the best life you can through personal empowerment is possible. We can all help loft eachother up every day!
True!
Wealth helps. Wealth doesn’t have to be at “unimaginable” levels. It could be just enough to pay the bills allowing a person focus and energy to apply to their plan.
Many people are thinking the same thing these days. I get why. It seems wealth is what’s needed to get to change like what you see. Interesting.
Personal change is very different… that can only be found inside. However wouldn’t it be great to change the world on a massive scale, doing things like making schools better, helping with sheltering for people, etc… Personal change and accountability can be learned and that is huge to helping change society for the better too! It all starts with the individual!
For sure, not only would it be great to change the world on a massive scale, making schools better, sheltering people, etc., it feels great actually doing those things. What I find is some folks think doing those things requires “unimaginable wealth” and because of that, they get stopped in their tracks.
I run an organization called Copiosis (www.copiosis.com) I started in 2013 with no great wealth at all. Today thousands of people, maybe tens of thousands, around the world are growing more excited about what we’re doing to give food, clothing, shelter, education and healthcare to everyone at not cost to anyone, while at the same time offering unlimited innovation opportunities to everyone too. It’s real and it’s getting more real all the time. And yes, we now have some money, but it’s far from “unlimited wealth”.
My point is, you don’t need “unlimited wealth” to do these things. Inspiration and focus can literally create what you need from nothing. My little organization proves that. Check it out. Maybe it will inspire you to do something similar with your imagination!
Tomorrow, since its never guaranteed.
So true!
It’s a secret…
I hope it’s not a secret for you too 😀
I’d want my own independent brick and mortar bookstore and cafe. That’s my goal. It will almost certainly not happen overnight, but it will happen.
Very nice! How is it going so far?
Selling books online and in person. Just need bricks and mortar.
Mastery of my Qi
Very interesting! How close are you to that?
I can feel the energy, but it is random and uncontrolled.
Very much in the beginner stages.
I find building awareness of satisfaction a huge benefit of gradual “bringing”. So while I sometimes allow impatience to trigger thoughts of immediate gratification, I prefer accepting where I am, then allowing time and space as things come as practice for greater peace in the now.
Awesome! As you, I think that being grateful of the now and the good in now has is essential for a happy life.
Thanks I appreciate your posts
Thank you very much! 😀
peace of mind✨
That’s great! How does peace of mind look like for you?
i’m not entirely sure. i think peace of mind, for me, is being content and allowing the contentment to be there. and that’s it. nothing more, nothing less.
I wish I had a huge plot of land with lots of cows, sheep, goats, horses, bulls, and dogs.
Living a life with animals that’s my dream because animals don’t remind you of people. In serving animals I wish to realize my position on this planet.
Very interesting! How are animals helping you realize your position on this planet?
I wanna become a zoologist, so serving animals is my ultimate goal.
Reblogged this on The Noble Desk and commented:
I want to bring back Robbi my dog. He died yesterday
A cabin in the mountains that I could escape the world and focus on writing.
Awesome! What is your favorite writing topic?
I like writing poetry. It’s a way for me to express my feelings, very healing.
Pink Shards
Carefully arranging your
glistening pink shards
To create a masterpiece
Of colorful glass
decorating my soul
All the shattered pieces you loathe in your self
Shine brightly to me
I hang them up for all the world to see
We have nothing to hide
But most of all, I want to cut you open
Peeling *Layer by layer
Revealing the secrets of you
That you have yet to whisper to anyone
And only in pain can you reveal
Wrap them in fine silk
Place them in a vault*
Stashed ** safely where only we can find
I’ll never let them go
Hidden bloody secrets, the pain
The parts we hide
Trust so binding
Powerful
Overwhelming
It’s love
But to free it for the world to see
A rare gem indeed.
