What do you want? Would you want it if you didn’t know they have it? And would you want that if nobody ever knew you had it?

It’s shockingly difficult for many people to clearly know what they want and desire. It’s also shockingly difficult for many people to be content once they’ve attained the thing, the experience, the position, etc. We humans are wired to seek the reward of new, different, next, but, in our modern era of abundance and constant input, our wants can get out of whack.

Listen in for perspectives to align your wants and desires with your core values. When values are the guide, you may find it easier to remember that what you have now is what you once wanted and wished for. Also, you’ll be less likely to settle for a temporary want that works against your lasting core values.
