Stop wanting, start having!

When you want something, it presupposes that you are lacking in some way. It is okay to "want", more of something else, but the issues is with the emotions of "wanting".

We see in our culture there is a great amount of "wanting" in the form of achieving greater wealth, great health and greater status. The problem is in the feelings associated with "wanting". If we achieve what we have been "wanting" we are often dissatisfied because of the familiarity with the feelings of wanting, we set our sights on something else so we can return to the wanting state!!

The trick is to focus on the feelings of "having”, feeling the feelings of what it would be life would be like if we had it already, and once we achieved that end we would be able to take satisfaction of achieving that goal...
