What’s the Difference Between Want and Desire and Why Is That Important to Know?
This ties to mindfulness of your health, wellness, and wellbeing.
The difference between desire and want is subtle, but contextually super important.
Desire is an expression of abundance. Want is an expression of lack.
When it comes to self-talk, it is imperative to be aware of the difference between these.
Consciousness creates reality. If we are focused on “wanting” something, we don’t realize that we are taking a lack approach. Because words matter, it’s important to be aware of the power of what we say, and even how we say things.
This also applies to the words we think and don’t necessarily say. Lack in self-talk is disempowering.
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 is 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 says, because I know there is plenty or since there is abundance. It is a much more empowering approach.
