How do you KNOW exactly, what do you WANT from life? Now I KNOW what I really want from life, but this wasn't the case all the time. I thought I know what I want... but similar as I Noised earlier today, about the importance of priorities ( https://noise.cash/post/lxmw6k37 ) it was necessary to make a list, to CLARIFY my WANTs, separates my NEEDS from WANTs and just be realistic in the planning to achieve them. I find it quite interesting, that most of the time we get what we want, sometimes multiple times ... but if we are not specific, not focused what we are looking for, we meet that goal over and over ... not realising it, that is what we are looking for. (Hence the saying: "Be careful what you wish for, you might get it!") For example, if I wish just simply more money ... the first forgotten cent I'll found in my pocket or better on the street ... is "more money" SO my wish was fulfilled. Or if I go to the groceries, and I spot that my usual milk is 10 cent cheaper than it should ... technically I've got more money. Right? So why am I so stressed? Often times, because I didn't clarified the exact amount, or exact state I want to achieve. Let's be even more practical here> I can say I want more subscribers on Noise. Which is fulfilled each one of day, when somebody starts to follow my Noises... and it makes me super happy. But it has another meaning, a lot more weight and makes me more serious to achieve that and become more focused in making Noises if I say: I want 1k subscribers by the end of November. That said, a really important part of planning our life (and with it our happiness) to learn about ourselves. Now that we KNOW how can be more specific, we need to seek happiness from inside, form our mind and soul. How we define what we want, most of the time is really "simple" (but super cruel): think about the problems we want to solve (what do we NEED for that) and think about the state we want to feel (what we WANT in order to achieve it). In both cases... imagining our Future Self, what we have, what we look like, where are we and more importantly, what we know defines our steps we need to do in order to become that Future Self. If the future value is greater than the cost of our time and energy we need to invest in this venture ... it would be FUN. Just for extra safety I do this exercise from time to time ... usually a quiet weekend ... ( like this one for example ) this could change a bit the way we change. But as I saw ... only the list of stuffs and gadgets get shorter... We'll discuss more about this this topic... but now I'm curious: how do you define and KNOW your WANTs in life? #KNOWember
