What Do I Really Want?

The first step is always figuring out what you want. Before a cook steps into the kitchen he first must decide what he wants to make. Sounds silly I know, but this decision can be easily overlooked. If there is any anxiety in life right now it could be removed by asking the question…

“What do I really want?”
“What is my deepest desire?”

We all desire to have or be something more. What we need is the right intention to set the direction.

Just asking the question sometimes isn’t enough. This cannot be what you think you want; it has to be what you really want. It might take a bit of soul searching to figure out what it truly is. However, when the sights are set everything else starts to fall into place.

You may have heard that all you need to do is to think about what you want and you will attract it in your life. This first of many steps is true but it also is where many people get caught. They say “Well I wanted that new car…” or something to that effect and get frustrated when it doesn’t immediately show. More often than not it boils down to one simple fact, you really didn’t want that in the first place. It was not your deepest desire.

Get clear, let go of all your previous ideas. You do not need to think about it. If it is not the first thing you think about when you wake up and the last thing that you think about when you go to sleep you are on the wrong track. In other words, you do not need to remind yourself about what it is you are going after.

One trick is to listen to your emotions. If it doesn’t stir the inner child when you are thinking about it there will be no motivation to do what needs to be done.

Above all else thinking alone will accomplish nothing. Action is always needed to accomplish your dreams. The right thought combined with the right emotion will always yield the right action. Dare to dream big.
