“If you don’t know what you want, you end up with a lot you don’t.” — Chuck Palahniuk

To want entails that you do not have, and the mind responds to this not in logic but in literal command. Sitting down with oneself no matter how long it takes must be non-negotiable in finding out what our desires are. We are here to experience the potential of untethered hearts and minds, and then to give away who we become in the process.

Our spirits desire freedom for us, and knocks at the door for us to open and walk through it. Many people move through life with their eyes shut, while not being aware that by not having an intention for what they want, that by default they get what they do not want. The longer we spend in our imaginations of what we want, the question itself begins to evolve and transform into something where miracles and magic transpose.

The mind needs guidance into the space of desire. With commitment and discipline our dreams are nurtured and life is breathed into our hearts desires. Keeping love in our heart is the master key to unlocking the door to creation.

A map is required on the road to our destiny. Without guidance the mind deviates off the path and returns to its familiar resting places. The perceptibility of the mind needs molding and shaping to create the image desired. Every choice will either point into the unknown of what we want or in the direction of what is already recognizable and commonplace. Nature for all creatures works within universal laws and duality that must follow their due course.

Once movement begins towards what we want unknown forces seem to show up that hinder progress of the desire, but only foolishness entertains this idea for long because our intentions are the guide to the life not desired. Examining the hearts of man and our species reveals history into how the tools of the mind and heart work, and without learning how these tools work they become detrimental avenues of destruction and despair.

The mind does not work within the logic we assign to it. This conversation began with the question of what do you want, and looking at the etymology of the word “want” from Etymonline.com will give better understanding and perspective.

Want (n.) c. 1200 “deficiency, insufficiency, shortage,” “to diminish,” “state of destitution, poverty,” “thing desired, that which is lacking but needed,” “deprived of.”

The tendency of our mind wanders into a state of scarcity when the thought of the desire is entered into. Therefore, to want requires discipline, adversity, confidence, failure, unwavering belief, courage, and commitment to tread into the life you would love.

What one sees in the mind with an elevated positive emotion turns the universal wheel for the desire to begin to gravitate towards them. The relationship becomes mutual between the desire and the subject as we move into our potential and freedom.

Week after week these conversations may seem redundant, but they are necessary for the person who is willing to look at themselves and acknowledge what they are capable of becoming. The becoming phase is the foundation of want turning into desire. To bring this into full circle the root of the word desire is, (v.) 12c. “heavenly body, star, constellation, long for, wish for; demand, expect; await what the stars will bring.”

What do you believe you can create in this lifetime, and what could you become? All the elements are conspiring in your favor. Are you ready to go get what is yours? The conversation is where one lives and dwells and where new worlds are created.
