Needs Versus Wants


Needs Versus Wants

What do you need?

What do you want? 

Do you blur the line between the two?

What humans need to survive is water and food and sleep. 

What else do you think you need?

If you think you need a lot of things...

What if you stopped saying that?

What if instead, you decided to see your needs as wants?

How might this affect how you show up?

Do you see yourself as a "needy" person? 

If no, great, then perhaps this truth is not for you.

If yes, then is that who you want to be?

Maybe you have fewer needs than you think.

If unsure, do you say "I need" often? That might be what some refer to as a needy person.

I wonder what would change if you shifted your needs and wants.

I wonder what would change if you decided you want more and need less.

I wonder how this would change the energy you feel and the intensity by which you feel it.
