want

Lord, if I can't have what I want, let me want what I have.

Don't worry about what the world wants from you, worry about what makes you come more alive. Because what the world really needs are people who are more alive.

His mother had often said, When you choose an action, you choose the consequences of that action.  She had emphasized the corollary of this axiom even more vehemently: when you desired a consequence you had damned well better take the action that would create it.

If you can't do what you want, do what you can.

Strip life of every perception that exists in your mind and you will see the raw perfection that exists in everything.  View this through the lens of your heart and you will find everything you have ever wanted and needed.

Stop the mindless wishing that things would be different. Rather than wasting time and emotional and spiritual energy in explaining why we don't have what we want, we can start to pursue other ways to get it.

Ask yourself: What am I willing to sacrifice for what I want to become?

It concerns us to know the purposes we seek in life, for then, like archers aiming at a definite mark, we shall be more likely to attain what we want.
