GETTING WHAT YOU WANT
How important is it to you to get what you want? It seems whoever you talk to they want something. This a familiar story to all. Some want money, some want fame, some want to be loved, and some want to win the game. The question is how important is it to realize your wants.

When you get out of bed in the morning what is the first thought. (Besides having to go to the bathroom) Are you thinking about how wonderful it is to participate in another day on earth or is there something missing that you think about and plot how to get. If you are not spending the day trying to fulfill that special want do you feel annoyed?

I find that wants become a distraction from thing that are in fact rewarding that present themselves throughout the day. When Steve Covey talks about planning for the week I find it a problem to give in to the important moment with enthusiasm. My wants become a bunched up sock on my three mile run. If a stop to take off my shoe to straighten the sock I lose the intensity of the work out. If I leave the sock bunched up the run becomes a painful and often less than fulfilling exercise.

What would life be like without wants? What if our main focus was our wants? Is there a balance between wants and other things that present themselves? Eckart Tolle, author of "The Power of Now" talks about being in the moment and that is enough. For me that is easy to say and still hard to do. How about you?
