Why “Want” Doesn’t Work

Are there things that you want in life? Of course there are, you wouldn’t be human unless you had wants, whatever they may be, different lifestyle, new car, more money, to be slimmer?

Wanting is natural as it is something we are used to feeling, however wanting is never actually going to get you these things, and the more you obsess over the things you want the further away they become.

The problem is that when we allow our craving and desires to take over our thinking, it creates discontentment, and unhappiness as we clearly cannot have what we want, otherwise we would have it by now!

This suffering is only caused by us and we are the only ones that can stop it! Have you ever considered that you may be receiving what you need instead of what you want? Have you ever stopped and thought about all the good things and situations that are in your life without thinking that you always want more?

Well maybe it’s time you did…. Your thinking creates your world, everything you are, everything you do all stems from your thoughts, so if you are in a constant state of want, the only thoughts you are going to have are of what you don’t have instead of what you do.

So take some time this weekend to think about all the good in your life, think about the things you need…. 

Do you have them?

How important are the things you want? 

Make two lists and see how you feel when you read them, this will help to change your thoughts and make you feel better and free you from the longing and suffering that causes you pain and leaves you in a constant state of discontentment.

Share your thoughts with us on our Facebook Page!

See you next week! Have a peaceful weekend!
