I have asserted and I am not inclined to change my opinion: to want is a valuable thing today. The value of a desire is felt only when its realization requires effort and search for opportunities. Nothing is valuable if it comes only once.
It's a funny situation when a person who has the power to get anything he wants keeps wanting one thing: happiness. Just like the one who from paycheck to paycheck has to deny you sometimes basic desires. We are all the same - we want happiness, we are all damn different - dissatisfied with what we have.
In another #chellenjkniga5, if I'm not confused, I discovered a new word "False Wishing"... Indeed, the "what if" that arises in our heads quite often is just a self-deception of sorts. Your real "want" is bound to happen in the short term. It has to! But "false wishing" = "if only" can be summed up in another wonderful aphorism:
© Nothing in life matters as much as you think it does when you think about it.
The illusion of focus causes us to become infected with the insignificant, the trivial and the flat with a kind of rapture and deep immersion. "It doesn't work that way" is one of my frequent phrases when discussing life, relationships, and self-discovery. You can't go back and love what needed your love sometime in the past, even if you can't see your happiness now and now without.... © "The best things happen suddenly" - articulated by #HeSelf and #ThroughYourself. You can understand, accept and even sincerely wish, but it doesn't work that way. A conscious wish is no longer a wish, but a decision, and that's a completely different story.
An important practice and experience for me is to learn to natively live by the principle: © "better once on time than twice right". Just stop rushing... everywhere and in everything.
