Knowing what you want sounds a lot simpler than it actually is. How many of us can truly say that we want something with an unshakeable conviction?
There's the small wants such as that piece of chocolate or that special figurine on ebay that you've been looking at for ages.
Then we have the big wants. What are the big wants? Well, these have to do more with the question of one's existence perhaps.
What do you want from your relationships? Do you want someone to be there to support you and you do the same for them? Do you merely want to have fun and engage in a hobby together? If it's a romantic relationship, are you seeking companionship, passion or security?
Relationships between people are ever evolving and we discover this as we continue to interact with all sorts of different people. Knowing what you want in your interactions gives a better sense of fulfillment and prevents you from being overtly negative, i.e. frenemies.
What do you want from your job? Would you rather do something you love and get little pay or is money the most important factor at the moment that you would be able to survive with a screaming you on the inside?
Not many of us will have the luxury of doing what we love, so we have to make do with what we can but never forget that your job is only one aspect of your life. You can always seek what you want from other parts of it. Passion helps fuel the soul.
These big wants will always continue to stimulate our minds and senses. Sometimes, to the point of over thinking, which won't do any good. Experiment as much as you can. Don't be scared to talk about this with others. Take some time for reflection because this is an important matter. Perhaps one of the best things to remember about this subject is that knowing what you DON'T want can help you understand what you REALLY want.
What do I want? I want to be able to live a happy and fulfilling life. And slowly but surely, I'm getting there...
