How to be your own genie
Stop wishing and start living
Wouldn’t it be amazing if genies actually existed?
I don’t know about you, but I’d be ecstatic — in the beginning. Then the weight of having to decide on just three wishes would become overwhelming.
Do I wish for world peace? That seems like the right thing to do. How about “enough?” That could cover everyone nicely, right? Enough food, shelter, clothing, money, happiness …
How do I know what those things are for everyone, let alone myself? Maybe I don’t need to know. Maybe just wishing that for everyone and letting the Genie figure it out would work.
How would you use your three wishes? (That’s all you get. Those are the rules from way back. No wishing for more wishes, either.)

- Health (self or others)
