Is it even necessary to wish for “All the best”?

On birthdays, New Year's, or other significant occasions, we often say, "All the best." But perhaps life itself has shown us that it always brings exactly what we need. Does wishing for "all the best" still hold any meaning for us?

Life as It Should Be

What does "the best" even mean? Is it health, love, happiness, or success? Or is it something we have pre-defined as desirable? Many philosophies and spiritual teachings suggest that every life experience has its purpose.

Events we perceive as positive bring us joy and strength. Those we see as challenging or painful lead us toward deeper growth. If we accept the idea that everything in our life happens for our highest good, the traditional wish for "all the best" might lose its apparent significance.

Wishes as an Expression of Connection

Even if we believe life unfolds as it should, wishing still has value. It's not just about the words but the energy we send out. Saying "all the best" is a gesture of love, support, and care for someone else.

Such a wish can also serve as a reminder that everything is okay, even if it doesn't seem so at the moment. It's a gentle way of showing someone:

"I trust that your life is heading in the right direction, and I wish for you to make the most of it."

So, What Should We Wish for Others?

If we believe that life is already perfect as it is, we can try expressing our wishes in a different way. Instead of the traditional "all the best," we can convey a deeper intention or message. For example:

• "I wish for you to feel fulfilled in every moment of your life."

• "I wish you peace of mind and joy in what is."

• "I wish you the strength to find meaning in everything life brings your way."

Such wishes are not about changing things for the better but rather about reminding someone that the best is already here—right now. And for those who have yet to embrace this perspective, our unconventional wish might serve as a gentle prompt for reflection.
