I'm reading and doing the exercises in the book, Feel It Real. Today's exercise was so enlightening that I needed to, wanted to, or ah .... desired to share it. The exercise was to write down your beliefs on desire. My mother tells the story of when I was a little girl of me jumping up and down on the bed singing "I want a wagon- sagon ". I wanted a red wagon so badly back then. I never got it. My Mom's heart ached because she could not buy it for me. Here's what I learned this morning. Wanting is so much different than desiring. Reflecting back on my little girl experience, I realized that wanting never leads to manifesting. I went to the dictionary to find out why. Desire : v. 1. to hope or wish for ardently: crave 2. to ask for: request * syns : ache, crave, hanker, long, wish, yearn n. 1. a strong wish or longing: craving 2. a wish or petition Want : v. 1. to desire greatly: wish 2. to be deficient in: lack 3. to need: require 4. to be needy 5. to seek wit
