Needing, wanting, having

Friday, July 1st, 2005

It’s funny how we get so attached to the idea of something, isn’t it? We’ll hear or read about something great, and decide we need it right NOW. It becomes an obsession until we can attain it.

But here’s a little secret.

You don’t want what you think you want.

You want the FEELING the “thing” will provide for you. Let’s use an example. You see a commercial for a hot new car coming out. The commercial is thrilling, showing the car zooming through country roads, navigating hairpin turns, the driver with a big smile and the wind on his face. You want that. The car actually has nothing to do with it. You want the feeling the driver appears to have. Fun, freedom, excitement.

Do you need the car to provide that, or can you develop the same feelings in other ways? Ahh! Makes you think, doesn’t it?

Of course, I’m not saying you should never buy another car. ;-) All I’m saying is, the next time you think you “need” something, pay attention to what you REALLY need, what you are really attracted to. And then explore the many options for bringing that same energy into your life. There is always more than one way to your goal.
