Is there any one word in English that means a "good wish" or "well wishing thought"?
For example, "It's a good wish/well wishing thought, and I hope it comes true."

2Perhaps 'aspiration' :a hope or ambition of achieving something! – mahmud k pukayoor Mar 26 '17 at 13:16

4Nothing specific I am familiar with, but you can say "nice dream" instead of "good thought" depending what you specifically want to convey. There's also "prayer" in certain (more religious) circumstances. Why do you need a single word? Why won't "nice thought" work? – Dan Bron Mar 26 '17 at 13:17

Is there some reason "Well-wish" doesn't work? "Well-wish" is in the dictionary. What is the nature of the wish you are wanting to convey? – Yeshe Apr 17 '17 at 4:31

Certainly. 'Benediction'; 'benison'. So let's forget those (though 'blessing/s' may sometimes work) and go with 'best wishes' or 'kind wish'. – Edwin Ashworth Dec 26 '19 at 11:42
You could use 'well-meaning', 'well-wished' or 'well-intentioned'.
"That's a well-meaning thought, and I hope it comes true."
