What Do You Want?

in #life9 years ago

Have you ever thought why this world is so messed up?

Why people are so frustrated, angry, sad, stubborn?

Why are you either angry or sad?

Because everyone is trying to do something, to become something, without knowing if they want to do it or not.

We must know what we want.

Otherwise, we are going directionlessly.

There is no purpose for us.

We are hitting our head against the wall.

And no matter, how hard we hit, the wall is not going to break.

But one day, our head is going to shatter.

So if things aren't working, we should check our objectives instead of our ways.

Once we know our objectives are right, we can go around the wall.

The most famous example of this is Thomas Edison.

He figured out how to make a light bulb after trying 1000 times.

Or it is better said in his words, those were the 1000 steps to make a light bulb.

He never knew how he will invent the light bulb until he invented it.

But he always knew what he was trying to do.

That's why knowing what you want is really important.

So, if you don't know what you really want, you can try to figure out things throughout your life, but you will never be satisfied.

When you know exactly where you want to go, you will take small steps to reach there.

One more example of this is Arnold Schwarzenegger.

He had a rough childhood.

He didn't wanted to spend his life where and how he was living.

He knew he wanted to be the best bodybuilder in the world.

He never knew how he would become one.

But he figured out somehow to become one.

There are three things and only three things everyone wants in this world.

These are the three things that keep the world going.

These are the three things, which keeps you going every day.

These three things are:

1. Money.

2. Love.

3. Health.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, an average guy in his childhood, became one of the greatest legends in history and achieved all the three things in abundance.

How did he do that?

He achieved all that not because he knew how to do it, but he knew what does he want.

If you know how much money you want, things will be simple.

You can decide if your current job can fulfil your needs or not.

And then you can switch careers, maybe that's why you were always sad or angry.

If you know what kind of relationship and with whom you want.

You will know with whom you should get closer and with whom you should maintain your distance from now on.

And most important is, you should know if you are healthy or not.

Only then you will know what to change in your lifestyle.

You will have three most significant goals painted in your mind.

This will give you enough peace and satisfaction.

And then your mind will start working out on ways to achieve these three things.

You will be astonished to see how much you want to do then.

It will be your first step towards happiness.

It will be your first step towards not being angry, frustrated or sad.


So the most important question for you is what do you want?


Sort:  

A simple formula....

  1. Have no expectations from others.
  2. Lessen the Greed.
  3. Admire the current situation because it's always wise to live in a small house than to sleep on the roads .
  4. Develop yourself by learning something everything .
  5. Everything's happens for a reason

I agree with all these plus the initial post from @looftee. It is also very helpful to have a definite goal. That way, you're more focused on what's to be achieved.

Have a lovely day @chiragpatel97, @looftee

Yeah definetly...

I love to learn something every day.

knowing where we are and what we want is the key to living a rich life , we are sad cause we are slave to someone else plan or ours isnt working out, we get frustrated cause life doesnt make sense cause we are not doing what makes us happy

Do what you love and love what you do.

If you ask what Do You Want?
Majority of people will give you the same answer that is "we want to be successful in life!"
If you ask again them why?
They will answer "success makes us happy"
But this is the biggest wrong feeling.!
success can not make you happy rather happiness can make you successful. !
Thank you!

These are two different things. Success and happiness.

One must be happy, but one is always successful.

You are definitely right.

Good read. In your list of 3 things that everyone wants, I would even add one more... Happiness, just because there are many ways to achieve happiness.

Happiness is in everything.

I know it is a old trope, but a good one none the less. Follow passion. When we lose track of time, expending energy in what we love, that is passion.

Where we spend our time mostly becomes our passion if we know what we are doing.

the question itself is the problem..

"What I Want?"

There is 'I' - EGO
There is 'Want' - DESIRE/ Expectations

AS long as there is EGO and DESIRE in life, there can be no happiness...

:)

There is always I in life.

We donate to make ourselves happy.

We make sacrifices to make ourselves happy.

Whatever we do, whether it is a sacrifice, or luxury or anything else, the goal is to make ourself happy.

And there is always want/desire to become happy.

But considering your profile pic. You know better than me.....hahahhahaa

I just tell myself things, just to make myself happy.

Welcome Back ... Long time no C

All well in life bro?

Yepp, everything is fine.

Even better than it was once.
