This post got me onto the subject of wants.
We talk about all the things that we want and don't want. We then take actions that are counter to what we say.
If we truly want something, we will figure out a way to get it. Otherwise, we just think that we want it. In reality, we want something else more.
Let's say that you want to go to the gym for a workout. You come home to get ready but end up sitting down in front of the tv or game station and don't make it out to your workout. What did you really want more?
You can chalk it up to a lot of things, put blame on circumstances or even play the victim.
Perhaps rather than looking at your motivation, processes, and excuses, you should be looking at what your wants really are.
