When asked what I want I used to find myself needing a minute to recollect myself. I mean, I only wanted the world, so how could I  coherently make the list that would put everything in that sequence of significance?

My answer changed recently when I came to the realization that I’ll always want, but what I want won’t always be what I really want or need. Yes, this is confusing.  Put in another way, “be careful what you wish for, you might just get it.”

How many times have you gained something that you didn’t have on your wish list, but that surpassed everything on that list? I have been lucky to have this happened to me several times, and there have been many instances when I have gotten exactly what I believed I wanted only to find out that I would rather not have it.

I am convinced that all I want is that which would keep me happy and I understand that I don’t always know what this is. This way of thinking has brought me relief, in that, when I don’t get what I thought I wanted, I am able to let it go believing it is probably not the best thing for me anyway.
