What do you really WANT in life?
What do you WANT?
Every day we think about what we want, but are we really thinking about what we want? Far too often do I hear people - and even I did this before becoming aware - saying what they do NOT want.
Here's an example:
- "David, what do you really want in life?"
- "Well I want to not have to work a 9-5 anymore. I want to wake up in the morning and not have to worry about bills or my accrued debts. I want to not have to go the whole day without eating because I can't afford it. I don't want my children to have to suffer because of my lack of funds. I simply want to not have to worry anymore, that's what I really want"
Sound familiar? That example stated nothing David really wanted, and everything David did not want. There's this little thing called the law of attraction. I'm sure you all have at least heard of it, but do you really understand it? Like attracts like. It is not a law that favors you, it is a law that works regardless of what you do or don't do. It's like the law of gravity, you may opt out of believing it, but if you walk off a cliff...you're going to fall. So back to the example; David thinks he's putting out into the universe what he wants but he in fact is putting out there what he does not want, and by the law of attraction, what he does not want is what he will get BECAUSE we become what we think about. What David is thinking most about, or focusing most of his attention on are: bills, debts, not eating, children suffering, worrying. What's going to be attracted into his life? Bills, debts, not eating, children suffering, worrying.
This is how it should go
- "David what do you really want in life?"
- "Well I want to work a job I absolutely love. I want to wake up in the morning with a smile on my face because I'm financially independent. I want to eat my fill everyday because I can afford it. I want my children to be happy and actually have a childhood. If things don't go the way I expect them to or want them to, I want to carry a smile on my face because I know in the end it'll all be okay, that's what I really want"
Believe it or not, we create our own life. We are not victims of circumstance, we are responsible for where we are in life and that's a hard pill to swallow. Do yourself a great bit favor and listen to the album 'The Strangest Secret' by Earl Nightingale. I promise you will not regret it.
So, my question to you is...what do you WANT?

Absolute Freedom to do whatever I want, whenever I want, with whomever I want, and most importantly WHEREVER I want. I worked my ass off to get it and nobody is taking it away.
You knew exactly what you wanted and you got it! and key factor is that you worked to get it! And I'm sure your journey to acquire what you wanted was not easy, yet joyful! It's easy to wishfully think everything we want will just come right in to our life, and to a certain extent, it will! But if we do nothing to actually acquire it then 1) we must not really want it or 2) we'll sit back, have doubt and wonder why we're not getting from A to B when three trains have now come and gone. Thanks for the comment :)
I honestly love it. I'm learning so much more than I ever could have asked for. For once I'm actually eager to get the ball rolling and do something because I want to rather than feeling obligated to
That is the Ultimate question for many of us.
What do we want?
Why do we want it?
How much will we give to get it?
When do you want it?
Where can you get it?

Really is the ultimate question and for some, the hardest one to answer! We think we know what we want upfront but we really have to dig deep and ask ourselves those questions you posed. Great comment, thank you!

You are absolutely correct. We make our own life.

We really do. It's easy to blame our life on circumstances but once we take full responsibility for our lives and realize we got ourselves where we are, then we can also get ourselves out and into the life we so choose
