wish is the same as want... "vult" is wish/want in latin (it is pronounced wult... v=w sound) But wish is not the same as want. I want you a merry Christmas is not exactly the same as I wish you a merry Christmas. I wish=Opto, as in Opto tibi fortunam!
Vellem adesset
Spectare: to watch, to look at, to observe. If you wish to tell someone to watch, use the imperative, which is specta.
In Latin, you can say "Diei benedictus esto" to wish someone a blessed day. This phrase translates to "Be blessed on this day" in English. Latin is a highly inflected language, so the word order can vary without changing the meaning significantly.
Technically, the widely popular "Carpe Diem" or "Seize the day" contains the essence of what you wish translated. If you wish a literal translation you could try "Vita est quae ejus facis" though it is a bit clumsy.
