What Is It You Truly Need?
Do you have everything you need right now? What about your wants? Few of us have everything we want, and at times our wants can seem all consuming. Our sensibilites become confused and overstimulated by mass media that glorifies beautiful people and expensive objects. It's easy to lose clarity about what it is we need to live authentically. Most of us are hungering for something more in our lives. But do you really think the answer can be found in a glossy magazine or on a movie/television screen?

If we are to live happy, creative, and fulfilled lives it is crucial to distinguish between our wants and our needs. Unfortunantly many people blur the distinction and then wonder why they feel so diminished.

Make peace with the knowledge that you can't have everything you want. Why? Because it is more important to get everything we need. Like infants, we feel contentment when our essential needs are met.

Be courageous. Ask yourself: what is it I truly need to make me happy? The deeply personal answers to this vital question will be different for each of us. Trust the loving wisdom of your heart. It is only after we acknowledge our inner needs that we can harness the creative energy necessary to manifest them in our lives. "It is inevitable when one has a great need of something, one finds it," Gertrude Stein reminds us "what you need you attract like a lover". by Sarah Breathnach..Have a fabulous Friday, TOWANDA!!!

Lisa lucky for the green team, that all the FS friends that join are put on at random. Or we would be in trouble. But keep it up as we need this for our moral....Bren

Lisa I have to say you remind me of my brother talking to me about wants and needs. I will share a funny story with you. I asked him what he considered eye cream to be and he told me that for me he considered it a need. lol We had quite a laugh over it! Towanda!!

Lisa: I don't usually don't challenges of any kind, too much going on right here. Things can always change though, no rigid patterns for me. :-) Good Night buddy...

Fun and competition??? Yes I love it and its much needed! :) What Yup all I need is love and gratitude all other things really do not matter and self acceptance is the trigger point in some cases to getting what you want. Very true and thank you for putting this so well Lisa. Questions are the key to unlocking your true potential inside of you and boy do I got questions for the challenge hehehe.
