Want vs. Desire...
One could argue that they mean the same thing & that wouldn't be necessarily incorrect. But when it comes down to changing the undesirable circumstances of your life which word you use may play a HUGE role! As I understand it the universe picks up on our thoughts, words, and vibrations and answers us based on what it is that we put out there. Some call it; faith, some call it; laws of attraction, karma and so on.
Regardless of what we choose to call it the premise is all the same. You have to be very mindful of your thoughts and you words, as they have absolute power over your day to day life. Thoughts are the energy that powers ultimate outcomes of our daily lives.
I read a quote the other day that said "Thoughts are energy. They are real and they have real power", and I've never read truer words.
Anywho, lets get into the purpose of this whole post so that you too can start changing the way you think and inherently change your life!
The universe reads the use of "want" as: a lack or deficiency of something. When you focus on your "lack" that is what is returned to you, more lack. That thing you "want" becomes like a dangled carrot, always just out of reach. The universe reads the use of "desire" as a request of sorts. So when you focus on what you desire you essentially draw it to you.
It was explained to me like this.... If you have a pure thought for more than 17 seconds it connects to a corresponding thought for 17 seconds and so on until your thought process has reached or exceeded 64 seconds. At that point the universe goes to work on WHATEVER that thought was. If that thought was "I'm broke" guess what? You'll stay broke!
Focus your thoughts on what you desire. Envision your bank account with a six figure balance! See yourself with your husband/wife! Imagine yourself unpacking in that dream home! WARNING: be careful not to project your thoughts and desires in a future tense. It is important that you consider your desires as if they are true right now, future tense keeps them just that, in the future.
I am working hard to break the habit of subconsciously sabotaging myself by using the term "want" and focusing so much on what I don't have & what's not right. I am making a concerted effort to focus my energy on the things I desire to happen. Theory is now practice, and I now have every resource I need to take care of whatever it is I need to take care of.
Last but not least, don't forget to show gratitude for all of things you have already been provided. Saying thank you opens the door to more of what you're thankful for. So take some time say "thank you", then meditate for a little while on your desires. Then watch how your life changes!
