What You Want and What You Need..


Many of us get really mixed up with these two four lettered words : Want and Need. Some even mistake it for the same.Be it shoes,clothes,house,job or even a partner!I believe all of us are traumatised with this question at one point of our life or the other.Many gyan gurus say that its really what we need that we have to go after, than what we really really want.But who's going to explain the carnal mind! ;)

Read through some of the tips that would really help you fight this dilemma.

1. My soul saver has always been my best friend. Whenever I had an "in pin safety pin" moment in my life, I relied on her and vice versa. Did you know that even a research at Harvard in the US has shown that two heads are really better than one at problem-solving? Well,now you know. Talk it through a friend with whatever decision in life you're struggling with and see the difference!

2. Honestly speaking, this method has never lasted with me. However,many others have really made a drastic change in their financial,spiritual and professional areas of life, adapting this mantra. It's the "pen on paper" method.Write down what you want at the groceries so you wouldn't over spend, jot down the things you've dreamnt of doing always and how you want your life to be and work towards making your dream a reality. Trust me, patience is the key word. Since I'm a true gemini, I lack it! But you must never give up because I believe in, "To have a future you've always wanted, you have to work on your present and forget your past".

3. A very good friend of mine had once told me that "Destiny" will reveal itself to you when you're in a fix.You're inner self will help you recognize between the two and the blurry vision of doubt of what you're craving for and what you're really looking out for,will no longer exist.Its like seeing your future laid out like a red carpet and waiting for you to walk on it. It indeed is a beautiful feeling. I hope you'll feel it someday too.

4. Lastly,I believe the core reason for a confusion to live within you is because you lack happiness. I know, its something you can find but not easy to own. But maintain that peace within you. Dont ask for more. The laws of the universe reveals that there is no scarcity at all.Everything we want is here on earth. Its provided for us to enjoy. However,when man gives birth to greed,strife is caused,a fight is put up and then arises a winner and a loser. A winner would keep having and wanting more because his greed is never satisfied and a loser would always remain in lack of his resources which causes deprivation. The energy released from this cycle of fight changes our inner self,our internal peace and indirectly affects all of us as an
individual,a family,community,country and our little world.

So be at peace dear friends, for we all have come into this world with nothing and will return to dust with nothing more. Own happiness and truly make an effort to distinguish between your short-term wants and your long-term needs.

God bless!
