You have desires, I have desires.
Are they based on real needs or just egoic wants?
How attached are you to the outcome of your desires?
Will you be disappointed if you don’t get your desires or surrender to the idea of a greater plan at work here for the highest and best for everyone. The more questions I asked myself, the deeper I went in putting the pieces together of a puzzling concept of desires.
Do your desires come from your heart or your head?
The truth is they come from both.
Heart’s desires which feel more inspirational are value based and usually involve service to others.
Desires from your head are inherently more materialistic and less altruistic, they focus on your needs.
Desires that are less about immediate gratification but more about long term fulfillment bring a higher-level of reward or happiness.
Material or self-centered desires can have a less success and bring more unhappiness or deep disappointment if they don’t happen.
The big lesson here is to be very clear on your desires.
Here are some journaling prompts to help you get clear on your desires:
- Why do you want what you desire?
- What is the part of you that is wanting it? (head or heart)
- Who will benefit from your desire?
- How will you feel if you don’t get it?
If you answer these questions honestly, you will know if you must have it.
It also gives you an opportunity to reframe or modify what you are putting out for the Universe to deliver.
Being very clear about the ability to get it or let it go so you don’t end up disappointed, can be very helpful in the manifesting process.
The less attachment, the easier it is for the Universe to deliver. Remember asking for similar or something better leaves you with many more options.
Having a methodical and confident way to look at your desires will save a lot of disappointment in the future. Remember, disappointment is a result of your attachment to outcome or failed expectations.
Continue to dream big my lovely and may all your desires come through.
