Wanting Something Is Holding You Back from Getting It
How to come to terms with your desires

We are always warned against wanting more. The disease of more indeed is spreading more viral than ever, with social media at its peak and the pursuit of external validation taking its toll on our mental health. Yet, doesn’t this striving for more attitude contribute to our growth?
Ever since I have left my hometown, I have been ghosted by tiny glimmers of a desire wanting to go back. Ever since I got back, I am haunted by dreams of moving away once again. And you know what? I have come to terms with my desire.
I have made peace with where I am, not rushing to be some place else. I put unshakeable faith that if the move serves me, then the Universe will align with my desire, bringing it to fruition. I have unshakeable trust in my ability to recognize promising opportunities and not fearing taking advantage of them.
The distinction between paralysing desire and ambition for growth
There is a huge difference between wanting something and confidently trusting that you are going to get it. Wanting is stained with:
- Doubt
- Fear
- Insecurities
- Lack of self-worth
- Controlling
- Trying to compensate lack with action
- Attachment
Attachment to the outcome is what throws you off. Attachment to your subconscious beliefs is what trips you up. Attachment to the ‘how it is supposed to happen’ prevents you from allowing to make it happen.
Since you believe you are going to get it, why would you even analyse how or when it is going to come? I am going to let you on a big secret. It is not about wanting. It is only about a thought: It would be nice to have/be/do… and anchoring yourself in this confidence that you are going to receive it. That is it. Class dismissed.
Why is it so hard for that truth to sink in?
Because we had different truths programmed inside our minds since our childhood. The subconscious believes in lack, struggle, sacrifices, not having enough, not being enough. Our nervous system is shattered and clouds our thinking. Stability is the key.
- Meditation.
- Breathwork.
- Mindfulness.
We need to calm down our nervous system, depart from survival mode and familiarize ourselves with harmony and stability. It may feel weird, even uncomfortable at the beginning because you have never been there for so long: always on the run, on to the next meeting, chasing the next project, wishing for a better relationship. But never in the now. Never enjoying the journey. Never worry-free.
Do you know what the cool state is?
Wanting something and not being afraid of it because you know you are going to get it. Not make it happen. Not beg for it. But effortlessly receive it through your process of enjoying this life.
There is nothing outrageous with wanting more unless you know that where you are is enough. That you are enough and everything you have to offer is enough for now. Life will always present you with chances, open doors to walk through. No key necessary, you are the missing piece.
There will always be more
You are on the journey, and there is no final destination. You are on the path of a thrilling, self-development adventure. Make the best use of it, striding with pride and determination for growth.
Cease any judgment. Cease any care for others’ opinions and validation. No external compass necessary, as the guidance system is deep within you. Those are your precious emotions. Tune into your gut feeling. Heavy fear will always serve as a warning. Exciting intuition will always shine light upon your next steps.
Get to know yourself
Accept every emotion, fear, pain, or jealousy that may come to the surface. Perhaps that is our role here on earth? To get to know ourselves, accept ourselves for who we are?
You will never know love unless you taste the pain, the rejection, the fear. Emotions guide us. They are our allies. They are not good, neither bad. Of course, positive emotions make us fly, but uncomfortable feelings make us grow. And we need to expand to enjoy freedom.
When you love your partner, you accept them with all their flaws, dark side too. You are willing to know it all, take care of them. Why you are not willing to do the same for yourself?
Don’t take away your own power by muting your feelings with distractions, addictions and petty remarks. Don’t turn off your guiding system by focusing on the behaviour and achievement of others.
Whenever you pay too much attention to what others may think, you allow the behaviour of someone else to influence your balance. When you want people to behave differently, you are turning off your power. Your power lies in the unconditional standing of your ground, anchored in stability and a good mood.
I am satisfied with where I am, no matter what others may say. I am happy with my life, no matter where others seem to be. I am worthy of following my path without gazing at others achievements.
That is the attitude you should adopt daily.
After all, you are invincible. Do not listen to little voices in your head or external opinions behind reasons you might fail. Realize those are just invalid comments with no bearing upon your worth.
Faith in your power, in your ability to move forward, is crucial. You need to trust to experience blessings. Whenever you ask for guidance, you will always be given the direction. If you ask for courage, life will present you with the opportunity to show it. If you speak about unconditional love and wish for others to love you unquestionably, life will present you with opportunities to prove your capability of genuine affection.
Do not wait for the next bus to take you to the final destination. Your journey will never be completed. You might as well accept the fact. It makes life easier. Far more joyful. Far more fulfilling.
Many people have grown to fear desire. Actually, desire is life. Desire is born within you every day. Stifling your desires means suffocating your willingness for life itself.
Crave more while being satisfied and appreciative of what you already have. Dream more while anchoring in your sweetest emotions. Forge a new path, knowing you deserve more. Become immune to the disease of more by marrying your Souls’ purpose.
