The Beauty of Wanting

The more abundant my life becomes, I convince myself that I want very little still, that all my needs are fulfilled and it would be selfish to still desire more.

That I NEED less is true. I don't need to fill gaping holes in my consciousness, to make me feel prettier or richer or cooler or more free.

So what's the point of wanting more?

To which I reply who cares?

I LOvE wanting and desiring. Sometimes we deny even the thought of wanting extra. But that's lack and limitation isn't it?

There are no limits to what we can create in this world. Even if we have everything... We can still find something you want.

Even if it's as small as a cupcake (which is always on my list) or as large as a charitable foundation that gifts millions of dollars to repair struggling economies.

The point is that every creation on the planet starts with a WANT... A desire powerful enough that someone sets out to create it.

So every couple of months I sit down and write out 100 things that I want. And miracles happen. I've launched businesses and fed my soul from this list. I go back and change a few into I am creating statements. Some I never look at again simply because I wanted in that moment and not in this one. Some wants aren't important or things I can control or create.

That's okay. It's about allowing myself to simply dream. And dreams can change to world.

Can you allow your desires to be spoken into the world without shame or guilt? Experiment. Get to 100. See what changes...

Harder than I thought. I got to 50 and kind of ran out of wanting steam. But will come back and try again later. It's funny how often I find myself resisting what I want. Judging what I want. Even the stuff that others might think of as 'good' (like wanting to foster teenagers). And I was surprised at how varied my wants were. From wanting to ensure that my relationship with my husbands continues to rock for years to come, to raising cows to knew spatulas. Total mental treat. You made my morning.
