“It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan”
— Eleanor Roosevelt
Simplified Meaning:
When you dream about something happening, it uses up the same amount of energy as if you sat down and made a plan to make it happen. Imagine you really want to get a good grade in school. If you just sit around thinking about it, it won't come true on its own. However, if you spend that same time making a study schedule, deciding which topics to focus on, and sticking to it, you're more likely to succeed. Both wishing and planning take up mental effort, but planning actually leads to actions that can help you achieve your goals. In life, if you put your energy into making real plans instead of just daydreaming, you have a better chance of seeing real results. So, instead of just hoping for things to get better, use that effort to create a clear path forward.
