Soren Kierkegaard : What I really need is to come to terms with myself about what I am to do, not about what I am to know, except insomuch as knowledge must precede every act. It is a matter of understanding my destiny, of seeing what the Divinity actually wants me to do; what counts is to find a truth, which is true for me, to find that idea for which I will live and die.
(From Introduction to the Philosopher)

It would be better to provide a field "Priority" and allow 'Sort by priority' - Everyone has many wishes... But it would be good to know the wishes sorted by priority!
Ananda of Seattle and Lynnwood: Feature Article--Expansive Marriage by J. Donald Walters (Swami Kriyananda) : One of the false expectations with which couples approach marriage is the fond belief that they will forever be all in all to each other. I can't imagine any two people being that to each other - unless, perhaps, they are exceptionally stupid! No one person can ever help you to learn all your lessons in life.
