It is all about birthday wishes, Christmas wishes, holiday wishes and every other kind of imaginable, unique wish out there!
For as long as mankind can remember, wishes and the act of wishing played a vital role in our communities. It doesn't matter where you come from. We all wish, and we all dream. All around us we are reminded of wishes by little things like:
"Wish upon a star!"
"Blow out the birthday cake candles and make a wish!"
Or other acts like "Tossing coins in a wishing well" and even "Breaking the wishbone of a cooked turkey!"
But, did you know that the minion culture also reveres the power of wishes and wishful thinking? It is true! In fact, wishes and the act of wishing are vital to minions!
Why?
Well, if you know how to take care of your evil minion, you may remember that minions are created, amongst other things, by the sincere wish of a small innocent child. This deep primal connection minions share with wishes has made the act of wishing essential to the well-being of normal minions. What very few people realize is that this act of wishing is equally important for adults, and shouldn't belong to innocent children and minions alone. Nope. Grown-ups too need to remember how to wish a real wish. Making a wish is an essential part of living a healthy lifestyle.
So, with that in mind, the Minions from The Minion Factory has created this page - a page dedicated to the short wish, the quick wish, the long wish, the unique wish, the loving wish, the caring wish, the desperate wish, the innocent wish and the creative wish!

Did you know that the amount of daily wishes being wished is on a decline?
Some sad statistics on wishes...
It is true!
The Obscure and Pointless Statistics Department, headed by The Minion Factory has concluded that people don't bother making wishes anymore.

How often do you make a wish?
What do you think about this sad decline?
Does the amount of wishes being wished daily, really affect us?
What is a wish?
Very few people know the definitive description of a real wish!
But, don't be fooled by their clinical "I am a scientist" attitude!
Like most adults today, they have also forgotten what a real wish is.
The Minion Factory officially describes a wish as:
"Wishing is the act of unleashing the inherent power of creativity and imagination to alter reality."
What does this mean in common-speak?
Simply put, wishing unleashes the natural power of creativity that is found in every person. This creativity changes the world around us. Creativity isn't just essential to the survival of our evil minions; creativity is essential to the well-being of people too!
Now that we know what a real wish is, we must ask ourselves, why wish at all? What are the benefits of wishing? And, how can we improve our wishing capabilities?
What are the benefits of wishing?
Several reasons why wishing is such a good thing!
Making a wish increases self-knowledge. The more you wish, the more authentic you become. During the simple process of making a wish, you measure the deepest depths of your fantastic being. It is then that you discover what it is that you think and believe. Don't be surprised at the countless resources, powerful thoughts and impulses that you will discover!
Integrity. While the act of wishing is incredibly wonderful and inspiring - and makes you feel very good; it feels even better to actively pursue your wishes. When you work on your wishes, you honor your innate creative powers. You stay true to what your wishes reveal about your personality. You have discovered integrity. See? It really is easy!
Are you feeling down? Depleted and all worn out? Need some motivation? Well, wishing is good for your mood! Call it a natural high. When you've spent five minutes daydreaming, wishing your innermost wishes, you will gain energy and feel ready to take on your other responsibilities. This way, by wishing, you will discover a lighter, energetic side of life.
With every secret wish comes an intimate expression of the utmost freedom.Making a wish creates the opportunity to free your inner-child. It is an opportunity to be messy and explore without restraint. You don't have to know all the details. You don't have to be good or an expert. You don't have to do anything! Isn't that a great way of reducing stress?
The act of wishing enhances relationships. Yes, it is true! When you do wish, you are connected to all those who have wished before, and to those who are in the process of making a wish now. This act of wishing is an unspoiled expression of human creativity. The moment that you share your inner-most wishes with somebody, you create an everlasting bond with that person, reinforcing ties that are bound with the unbreakable universal power of true creativity.
“The family that wishes together stays together!”
Several ways to improve your wishes!
We found some unique ways to improve the quality and creativity of your wishes.
Set aside time to make your wishes. Call it your "Wish Time". Soup, one of our cute resident minions suggests that we set aside at least 20 minutes every day to ponder on our wishes. During this time allow your thoughts and wishes complete freedom to roam and soar uninhibited, wherever they want. Do you have small children? The sweet Thirteen, another one of our minions, suggests that you make an activity from "Wish Time". Let your small children join you during "Wish Time". Allow them to express their wishes and be prepared to go on wild flights of fantasy! Wish Time will easily become a daily part of your family life. It reinforces bonds between partners, parents and children, and is also an opportunity to unwind and learn more about each other. So, flop down on that comfy carpet and let the wishing begin!
Make use of a family wish list! To improve the quality and creativity of your wishes, Pincher suggests that you make a wish list. To improve it even more, he suggests making a weekly family wish list. Remember that the true power of wishes is revealed when we actively pursue them. So, for the wish list, Pincer suggests that we write down small and easily obtainable wishes. To involve the whole family, allow everybody a chance to write at least one small and easily obtainable wish on the family wish list card. Write down small wishes like: "Mommy wishes that Tommy would make his own bed once this week." Or "Tommy wishes for an ice cream night." Then put the card on display somewhere. Make a game out of it and see how many items you can cross off the list each week! Once you start crossing wishes off your family wish list, you'll notice exactly how great you guys work together as a family!
Make a personal wish list. Giggles, our resident workaholic-minion suggested this one. A personal wish list is a wish list card containing more serious wishes, as compared to the family wish list. Naturally, these wishes are long-term wishes concerning personal goals and dreams. Items like "I wish I could reach my sales-target." Or "I wish I could start a blog about..." are most commonly found on this type of wish list. After you have written your wish list, put it up somewhere in your workspace or office. This way you will be constantly reminded about what it is that you want to achieve. Now, go for it!
Do you have a birthday or a holiday coming up? Why not write down what you would like to receive, for this special occasion, and share your wish list? The creative family that wishes together can make a wish list wall where they put their wish lists up. That way everybody would know who wants what, and avoid any disappointments when the unwrapping of the gifts start!

MY MINION LOVE FOR WISHES
a poem by Edgar Alien Poems.
'tis only a proper minion heart that should yearn for them - from early dawn of day,
You see, even during the star-clad bright-night there is no amazement left when wishes are away,
Hear me now, I say - bring me forth wishes for this dreary day!
Wishes' beauties, innumerable, are grand and rare,
Wandering wizened watery minion eyes, at them wishes, still often do stare.
Wishing is all I want this day!
Waiting for the moment, to hear you say: "I wish, I wish away!"
Give me wishes, I implore, I pray!
'tis only a proper heart that ought to yearn for such a wonderful wish-filled day!
Give me wishes, I implore, I pray,
'tis my minion love for wishes that will never go away.
OH, WISHES!
a poem by Edgar Alien Poems.
Sweet and rare, thou are't to my soul,
As deepest night to the hunting owl,
And water to the blooming blossom!
WHAT WISHES DO
a poem by Edgar Alien Poems.
Why? Why? Why does it wear at my sleeping soul so?
Hitherto, unmoved, the siren song sings forth mine slumbering spirit,
What are't thou, oh siren song that stirs my late-night sleep so?
"Wished into life, I was - a short time ago, from faraway,
Called forth as messenger implored, to bid thee well,
Good fortune and prosperity,
Carry I to you, from far-far away."
A wish! A wish! A wish, for me, I do wonder?
Why bid this weary one well?
A wish, I dare say! A wish sent to me?
Why? Why?
"'tis what we wishes do,
Brought forth, from faraway thoughtful friends to you,
'tis what we wishes do well,
Bringing warmth to weary worn hearts."
