What we want we get

I talked about Core values or beliefs before, here I want to try to continue on with the same thoughts.

The things we set our sights on in life reflect who we are in some fashion. You see what we are focused on can reveal our nature and desires. We will lean in the direction of our focus. If we stay focused long enough in one direction the other things in our life will start to bend in that direction.

Let's say a relationship is the focus, look at what your desire is, and then look at the other things in your life that has altered in the slightest of ways because of that relationship. Now those changes in other things may not have been deliberate but changes have happened.

We tend to focus on what we want consciously or sub-consciously. The desires are there, we all have them. We may act upon them or not, but when we do with any type of energy other things shift in our lives to make way for what is going to happen. We will get what we want when we focus on the desire we have.

Those desires we focus on for any length of time will become a crucial part of our daily lives. It will permeate the very fabric of what is called you as a whole. We will make things happen to achieve that desire sometimes to our detriment. When we look at ourselves with these desires it may be very hard to see the changes that have taken place because of the focus we have.

These changes are seen by others but not always by us. We feel that something has changed but not necessarily how big of one may have happened. This reveals what is going on in our lives and what we are like, what is hiding in the insides of our being.

I think that as we examine these aspects of who we are we get an understanding which I believe will help us achieve a balance in our lives. Our core being is the center from which all else flows, the emotions, actions, thoughts, desires.....etc. Understanding for me is a part of who I am, I have a desire to understand where I am, where I might have come from and it will point to where I am going. Not necessarily control over the destination but the process of how I get to where my desires are directing me is somewhat in my control. If I choose to recognize the process of changes that is happening to me I will be much better equipped to handle those changes.

So I continue to look inward and outward. I look inward for understanding myself and I look outward to how I relate to those around me, especially to those I love. How I am in my interactions with them. I see as time goes by that what I use to be and what I am now is much different. I refuse to become what others want or think I should be. I want to become me, and I do that by accepting who I am and what I am about. I will never achieve the balance in life that I seek by compromising who I am. So I stand for me, who I am and I hope that the person I am becoming is something that someone can love for being me.

Just another thought put to text.

  1. I dont believe we always get what we want! No matter how hard we try some times there are things or people that get in the way of what we want.

  2. I believe what you say. Sometimes it is out of our control and it it a huge let down. But for those times we do get what we set our sights on we become elated with the achievement.
