Need vs Want: A different perspective

Words in different contexts carry different meanings. I don't mean like homonyms because those are different words that happen to be spelled (or just pronounced) the same. I mean the same word put in a different contextual basis can carry a different sense to it.

For those analytical-brains like myself, please know that in this post, I am using the words need and want with a sightly different sense than we often do. I am not, here, trying to argue that to need anything is somehow bad. For example, we have basic needs such as food and water and I recognize that. What I am suggesting is that, even the need for food and water have a context, i.e. we only need food and water in order to live. Assuming we want to maintain life, we indeed need corporal nourishment.

We can often see our needs more clearly when putting them into the context of wants. Also, it can serve us to do so by changing our mindset and helping us be more healthy about those needs. That is what the following is all about.

To Want a Need
The best way to get what you need is to stop needing it and let it come in/on its own due gestational time and course.

The best way to get what you want is to go to work, overcoming temporary setbacks, and having a determined resolve to obtain it.

Note that a want is not a need: if you turn your want into a need, you will push it away as you try to grab at it.

Note that a need is not a want: if you turn your need into a want, you will be able to manifest it in the shortest healthy period of time.

Needing something creates a self-appointed timeline and invites desperation.

Wanting something creates a self-appointed journey and invites inspiration.

Needing is a sibling of coercion and manipulation. It requires others obey and serve me.

Wanting is a sibling of self-determination and vision. It requires serving others to obtain my desire.

Needing invites scarcity and entitlement.

Wanting invites abundance and gratitude.

Needing sees failure as the end of the journey.

Wanting sees failure as a step in the journey.

Needing is damnation.

Wanting is eternal progression.

The point of damnation is so we will lift up our eyes and see a new perspective. We can choose to do this without damnation, but when we don't, it is there to remind and help us.
