Do you know what you definitely want in your life?

There are so many things that we know that we don't want in our lives but rarely think of the things that we definitely want for sure. I decided that I am going to make a list of the things that I know I want in my life, these are things I would want if God was kind enough to give me choice. Well here goes since it is a long list.

  • An instinct for knowing there is a force, power bigger and everloving than us.Spirituality in short.
  • Strength to do the right thing always and that too with compassion.
  • Ability to forgive and forget.
  • Balance in all aspects of life. Want the right amount of everything- health & sickness, wealth  & scarcity, success & failure.
  • A solid foundation of a large, loving family and trustworthy friends.
  • Talent and appreciation for music, dance, art and writing. An abundance of creativity.
  • Intellectual capacity to appreciate the written word of the finest minds.
  • Confidence, hard working nature along with perseverence.
  • A sense of humour and ability to laugh at oneself.
  • Want to be physically attractive without being vain.
  • Insight to learn from mistakes and experiences.
  • Opportunity to travel around the world.
  • A zest for life.
Go ahead make your own list and see how much is already there.

Where are we searching?

Each one of us has our own special dreams and desires which motivate us to live our lives the way we do and we spend of our lives searching, hunting and running to fulfill them.If we had the right address  from where we could order our dreams we would save so much time and energy in looking for them in the wrong places.Do you go to a fastfood eatery to experience fine dining? Do you go to an opthamologist when you have a dental problem? Do you head to the mall when you want companionship? If we do something so stupid how can we find what we really want. Yet we do it all the time. We look for important things in life in the wrong places and doing the wrong things.We want good health and self image but we run after size zero. We want to connect emotionally wth people yet we flaunt our success when they are struggling. We want less stress in our lives yet we are benchmarking our achievements against others. We want lasting joy and purpose in life yet we dive into mindless material indulgences which give temporary high. We are bored and we fill our social calender so that we busier and lonlier than ever. We want fun and adventure yet we never try something we haven't done before.We want a hopeful future yet we are stuck in past recriminations and are unconciously living the present. What we want is somewhere else than where and how we seek it. Get it right and see how you soar.
