What’s the Difference Between Desire and Want?
Words matter. Consciousness creates reality. Choose wisely.
Desire is an expression of abundance. Want is an expression of lack. When it comes to self-talk, it’s imperative to be aware of these differences.
Consciousness creates reality. If we’re focused on “wanting” something, we don’t realize that we are taking a lack approach. Words matter. Ergo, it’s important to be aware of the power of not just what we say, but how we say it. This also applies to the words we think and don’t necessarily say.
For example, when we focus on wanting something, we are sending out to the universe a signal that may be saying, because I don’t think I have this or since this is lacking. It’s not a very empowering approach.
If, on the other hand, we focus on desiring something, we are sending out to the universe a signal that may be saying, because I know there is plenty or since there is abundance. It’s a much more empowering approach.
You might be thinking, do I have to police every single thought I have to look out for this subtle difference? No. And yes. When we actively work to employ techniques for manifestation — and work with conscious reality creation — we must take more intentional actions.
