Everything you have in life is because you wanted it. The things you own, the people you surround yourself with and the things you do each day are all your creation. Your decision to want that in your life.
You keep what you want, ignore or remove what you don’t.
You might hate your job but the truth is, you don’t want to leave because you’re afraid of the unknown. You want the comfort of knowing what comes tomorrow.
Your relationship might’ve been over a long time ago but you don’t want to leave because you don’t want to be alone. There is safety in pairs.
You’re always broke and never able to get ahead but you don’t want to work another job to make more money. You can’t afford that new purse but you want it, so you put it on your credit card.
You don’t want to leave your job. You don’t want to find someone new (or be alone.) You don’t want to have money in the bank.
You don’t want to be active. You don’t want to be skinny.
You don’t want to travel the world.
You don’t want to learn how to speak Italian.
You might think you want these things. But you don’t.
You don’t want any of it.
But you wish you did.
And there’s a difference between wanting something and wishing for something.
If you want something, you’ll make it happen. You’re willing to sacrifice whatever you need in order to have the things you want in life. If you hate your job, you’re willing to risk opening the door into the unknown to find work that’s rewarding.
If you’re not happy in your relationship, you might wish things were different. But if you want them to be different, then you’ll do whatever it takes to try to fix what’s broken or have the courage to leave and be alone.
If you don’t want to be broke anymore, you’ll find a way to get out of debt and start saving money. You’ll quit spending money on shit you don’t need. You’ll pick up extra hours at work or find another job. Maybe you’ll start a side hustle to earn extra money.
If you want to travel the world but you’re not traveling the world, you don’t really want to. You’re just wishing.
You don’t want to be fit and healthy. You’re just wishing.
It’s time for you to stop wishing and start wanting. Want it bad enough to make it happen.
Wanting without action is still wishing.
Don’t wish your life away.
