Shorten the Journey from Here to Your Goals Understand Your True Longing

We all want something out of life. Some people want a big house and a yard. Some want money. Some want fame. Some want beautiful clothes or flashy cars. Others want a log cabin in the woods. No matter what the goal, there is a true, underlying longing that drives our desire for it. Ironically, however, that desire can never be satisfied by the goal itself.

By looking within, we may understand that the reason we want a flashy car is that we feel inadequate in some way. Having the car won’t change that. Introspection and self-love can, though, and once we’ve satisfied that ache with inner work, the car just becomes a trinket, and life feels good with or without it. Likewise, we may want a big house because we crave a sense of security, but the house itself will never give us that. Security comes from within, too.

It’s okay to want things- we should all be able to enjoy the perks of life, but they are only the icing on the cake, not the cake itself. If we are having difficulty reaching our goals, we can shorten the quest by discovering what it is we really desire.
