What Do You Really Want?

---

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about your life's direction? It is important to understand that in order for you to see progress and improvement in your life and have a sense of direction, you need to know what you want. You need not look far to know what you want, but considerable time is required to figure out what you want or what is your purpose. It is not as difficult as it seems, all you have to do is listen and it will come to you. Remember your true essence is spirit and it is seeking expression in the physical world through you. The desire for something, to be something or to do something is spirit seeking expression.

This is how you are able to find out what works and resonates with you, and from this you establish your goal. Sometimes knowledge of one's goal comes as a result of one's current and immediate circumstances, like unhappiness of your present situation or lack of certain important necessities of life. From all of these a goal can be established and a person can find themselves knowing where to go and what to do. 

Knowing what you want is important for many reasons and one is that it will help you to know what you need to do and what not to do with your time on any given day. It helps you keep your actions in check and monitored, it enables you to have a foundation upon which all of your thoughts will be stemming from. Have you seen how effective your mind is when it knows what it is looking for? It knows which piece of information to accept and which one to assess and which one to reject. 

When your goal is plain and clear to you and you can easily define it to the next person in a clear and concise manner, your mind will work day and night to find ways and means of achieving your desired outcome. You will not easily be influenced by the opinions of other people, and you will be in the right frequency and all the right information which is vital to the accomplishment of your goal will find its way to you. Things will just fall in place. Have you observed how when we truly want something and whether or not we have the means of acquiring that particular thing we stop at nothing to get it?

The evidence is there, simply look at your life in retrospect and look at the things you own and you will realize that you have and own those things for one major reason and that reason is you wanted them. There are some of those things that at some point you did not know how you will get them, but you found a way. The same principle applies, which is to know what you want. You knew what you wanted and that is why you have the things that you now have. 

It is the same with life's goals and personal goals, we have to know what it is we want. It is not important to be stressed about how you will achieve that goal. Worrying about how you will achieve it will only delay and stop you from deciding on what you want, which is why you must be less concerned about how and start to be more concerned about what you want. 

Here is a key element, when you are deciding on your goal, understand that if your goal does not scare and excite you at the same time, you are not really challenging yourself and probably not even going in the right direction. Your goal must be scary and exciting, this will mean that whatever you set out to achieve is bigger and better than the present circumstance you are confined in and that it is something outside of your normal way of doing things.

What you want has to be a desire, a burning desire and not a mere wish. There is a difference between wanting or desiring something and simply wishing for it. There is a saying that goes like this "if wishes were horses, beggars would ride". Desire on the other hand will fuel you and propel action on your part which will lead to the achievement of your objective, but the desire or goal has to be definite. You must be sure about what you want.
