5. What You Want

We are creatures of want. We speak the language of want and the marketplace appeals to us from an economy of want. What we have wanted has shaped our lives and is the result of where we find ourselves today, for better and worse. But two stark realities exist; more and more we aren’t clear on what we truly want and we actually want less and less. Together, as a culture we are just settling for less and less and the less true and meaningful wants we have and pursue the more we sink into numbness, medication and disappointment. So on one hand we have a reality that wanting bigger things leads to more happiness, but we are also afraid to want much for fear we will be disappointed. In this episode I’ll walk you through how your wants have shaped where you are, for better and worse. And why “wanting it more!” is not the solution, but wanting it authentically is.
