Just do whatever you want!
That’s the easy part. The hard part, the one where no one can do it for you, is to figure out what you want.
At first sight it doesn’t seem to be a tricky question. “Of course I know what I want!” you think.
More of this and less of that. Usually we want more money and a better life. Usually we want a lot of what we don’t have but others seem to.
Why do we want all these things we don’t have?
Probably because we think that they will make us happy or at least happier.
What we really want isn’t the thing itself. But the happiness, or love or fulfilment (call it what you want), that we think we’ll get from achieving that thing.
Call it cheesy or cheap but in the end it all does come down to just one thing. Everyone of us just wants to be happy or be loved. It’s that easy.
“Just do whatever you want.” becomes “Just do whatever makes you happy.”
What is it that makes you the happiest? In which moments of your life did you feel like you had it all, like you where exactly where you are supposed to be?
In which moments of your life do you stop wanting what you don’t have, because you feel like you have all you need?
“What do I really need?” I started to ask myself more frequently. Only to discover, that in many moments I already have everything I am looking for.
Because the thing that I really need is often something very simple.
Halve an hour of laying in the sunshine and letting my thoughts wander. A morning climb up the mountain. A cup of coffee. Peace. Being present in just that one moment.
It’s realizing that at any moment I can be only as free and as content as I let myself to be.
And then I see how everything I am is exactly what I attract.
When I am in peace I attract more of it. When I am stressed I attract more messy problems. When I trust the process I attract more love and suddenly see the beauty in everything around me.
“Just be whatever you want.”
If it is love you want. You have to create it yourself first. If it is freedom you have to feel free by yourself first. If you want to succeed you need to feel worthy of your success first.
In which moments of your life did you feel like there is nothing missing?
Thank you for passing by, enjoy your week!

I agree that it is vitally important, in order to attract all that you desire, to be calm and connected to the happiness that comes from simply being alive and being able to witness the wonder that awakens each day with the sun, as well as the nights and the stars that hold immeasurable treasures.
What happens is that not all people achieve this calm and exhilaration, if they are hungry. They need to calm that urge and to be calm like that is not easy, not everyone can achieve that. I think for example of someone who lives in pain. It is difficult to turn their thoughts away from the pain, to focus on a vision of beauty and gratitude, which I am sure would calm them and might even reverse the disease process.
An awakening... we all need an awakening. But some take longer than others, and there are some who never get it.
People like you are much needed in this world to help the awakening.

Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on that, I love the aspects you mention!!:) Indeed in the end it is just about finding Peace and Calmness within ourselves... sound so easy and yet sometimes it feels like a struggle to get there.
And yet there seems to be this overabundance of pain distracting us. Though I guess pain can also be (or become) the motivation to change and grow and sometimes is even needed for something beautiful to grow out of it.

Thanks to you for sharing these thoughts.
My comment is based on lived experience and my dialogue with others.
I can tell you that the power of our mind is immense. I have experienced it. But not everyone understands this... And I find myself in a dilemma every day when I try to make them see it, because they think I'm crazy and they don't understand.
Awesome reflection,@kesityu!
When I was in early twenties I realised at one point that I need to be in a happy mood to be able to spread it, to share it with others, and the same with love. Essentially, I need to take care of myself first, of these needs.
But I heard, putting myself to the first place is selfish. I was confused and put in doubts.
Nowadays, I know for sure that I radiate to my surrounding the states of being which I find myself in in that precisely moment.
Thank you, I love hearing your perspective on it!
Indeed, and I don't want to know how many times just that feeling is actually holding us back from growing into the love and happiness we want to be and attract...
