You will always have something that you want that you haven’t achieved yet. It’s human nature. There will always be new things, new desires and new changes that you will want in your life. Your life will never be completely fulfilled until you are gone.

And when you think about it, isn’t that the way you would want it to be? There is a certain excitement that comes from wanting something, planning it, going through the process and of course, it is very exciting to feel the thrill of achievement and victory. If life handed you everything you wanted on a silver platter, the thrill and the excitement would be gone. The fun would be over.

But many of us get caught up in that energy of “I don’t have what I want” or jealousy over another who does seem to have what we want. Or we start thinking “I can’t see ‘how’ this thing can happen, so I probably can’t have it”. That one is probably the most insidious of them all, the dreaded “how”. But I will repeat some very wise advice…

”The How’s are the domain of the Universe, You don’t have to know How, the How’s will come to you” .

And they do. The “how” it will happen comes and sometimes in a way that you could never have imagined. But only when you are ready. Only when you can recognize it because you are in alignment with your desire. The inspiration will come. It always does. But you have to be in the mindset to see it, recognize it and do something about it.

So it is about “wanting what you got”. Be happy with where you are now and what you have achieved so far.

Where you are now is the only place you can start.

Gratitude is an incredibly powerful emotion. It feels good. It makes life worth living. And it gets you into that happy mood so you can get into alignment with what you want.

So “Want what you Got”, appreciate what you already have. And then maybe you can “have what you want”.

When you talk about what you want and why you want it, there’s usually less resistance within you than when you talk about what you want and how you’re going to get it. When you pose questions you don’t have answers for, like how, where, when, who, it sets up a contradictory vibration that slows everything down.
