Do You Deserve What You Desire?

Do you do things that you desire to do?

It is all too easy to do things for other people, and to do things that are “expected” of us, and ignore what we desire for ourselves.

Desire Some of these desires are little things, like sitting down to read a book; eating ice cream; watching a video; taking a walk; playing a game; and so on.

Then there are the desires to do big things, like take a vacation; start a business; write a novel; compose a song; get married/divorced; and so on.

Many people deny that which they desire for any number of reasons. Some are completely legitimate, based in timing and cost and location. Most, though, are denied because of self-imposed limitations, such as feeling unworthy and undeserving of getting what we desire.

It is possible, as well, that we may deny ourselves what we desire because we do not think we are good enough, skillful enough, or capable of being more than we are.

The truth is, you deserve to have the things you desire. You are worthy of your desires, and you have every right not only to desire what you desire, but to seek it, find it, and acquire it.

Consciousness creates reality. When we believe we are not worthy or deserving, that is what we create. Our thoughts, feelings, and actions drive our lives. When we are aware of them and making conscious decisions and choices, we can create virtually anything.

So you deserve the job, the relationship, the trip, the friends, the money, and whatever else you desire to have. There is no why, this does not require any explanation beyond your worthiness and deserving of being and having the best you can.

Desire is more empowering than want

Because words matter as much as they do, it’s important to be aware of the words you choose. This is why I have been working to not use want, and instead use desire. Why? Because of the literal definition of these words.

Deserve Desire One of the definitions of want is to be without or lacking. Beginning with lack is not tremendously conducive to abundance and positivity. Desire has not got that lack in any of its definitions, so as such it is stronger, and doesn’t involve lack or scarcity.

To be wanting is often disempowering. To be desiring is an expression of creation in gaining something we crave or request or wish for. This is why to desire something is a means to create and build greater.

You deserve to have the things you desire, material or immaterial, because you are worthy of being amazing and awesome.

Finding positivity is not hard, but it does require action.

Knowing that we can have the things we desire for ourselves, because we are worthy and deserving, we can choose incredible options to live the best lives we can. When we go with our heart’s desires, and we live with passion and excitement for all the possibility of living as fully as possible, ultimately we empower ourselves. When we feel empowered, we often spread that feeling to others around us, and as such can build more positive feelings. We can use the positive feelings this generates to dissolve negative feelings. When we take away negative feelings, we open up space to let in positive feelings, and that is something we can be grateful for. Gratitude leads to happiness. Happiness is the ultimate positive attitude. Positive attitude begets positive energy, and that is always a good thing.
