One of the many ways we manage to talk ourselves out of desires and achievements is the thought of,

"Oh BUT I don't know how ..."

So Tell Me What You Want …

One of the many ways we manage to talk ourselves out of desires and achievements is the thought of, "Oh BUT I don't know how ..."

It happened again yesterday with someone who blatantly wanted something BUT (godawful word! should be stricken from the dictionary!) wouldn't even ADMIT to wanting it - BECAUSE they had no idea how to get it.

So in order to alleviate disappointment, it's better not to want it at all, right?

WRONG!

If you don't WANT something, or you don't ALLOW YOURSELF TO WANT SOMETHING, how the HELL are you ever going to get it?

It's a structural impossibility!

So to the rescue comes the handy thought that in order to WANT something, you DO NOT HAVE TO KNOW ***HOW*** that could be possibly achieved.

That's a different topic, a different matter, and has NOTHING to do with the wanting of something.

I want to see the Earth from space, for example.

BUT ... I'm too old, not rich enough, it's impossible!

GET LOST, BUT!

<kicks the but up the butt, and the but flies out of the window, never to return>

I WANT TO SEE THE EARTH FROM SPACE.

I really do.

And THAT, as they say, is my birthright as a human being - to WANT THINGS, TO WANT EXPERIENCES, TO DESIRE.

Now, it's YOUR turn.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?
