When what you "want" doesn't make you happy | Michael Beckwith

You know, the average person thinks they know what they want, but oftentimes they're not even aware that what they think they want is not even coming from themselves. It's coming from this societal milieu you around them.

It's coming from parental fantasies. It's coming from whatever's popular in the world. It's coming from the manifestation of gross materialism or consumerism and they want something temporarily and discover. T

hey oftentimes even set goals to get these things that they want to discover when they get the goal, the happiness they thought they were going to achieve isn't there. That's called immature wanting.

And oftentimes people even use the power of visualization to get these things that they want. Not realizing that oftentimes visualization is limiting because you're only seeing that which is within the paradigm that you're living in.

And so as we're growing, developing and unfolding, we want to step into real happiness and real joy and real peace and real abundance. And that stepping into the vibration of what is called Mature Wanting. In other words, , your

And then ask yourself, this is an impulse within you. There's an impulse of creativity is an impulse of power, is an impulse of activation of so much joy and you want to set yourself free. So that's perennial so that what you really want in life, you really want to be more you. And what does that carry

That carries the vibration of yes, you do have magnicent quality things in your life. You have everything that is necessary for you to continue to grow, develop and unfold. But the happiness is not attached to those limited conditions.

The happiness is connected to you constantly unfolding and being more of your real self. So you did not come here to consume. You came here to share. Where do you want

You went to share yourself. You went to express your gifts, you went to give of your talents. You went to discover more of yourself.

 You went to Mature , you went to Mature in your wanting. and in so doing and in so being, everything else is added on to you. Here just adds to your expression on the planet. Peace and blessings.
