Distinguishing our wants and our need is an essential part of realising our dreams. While many of us may want a fancy car or a new wardrobe, or a number of other things, we don't necessarily need to have them in order to lead a joyful, productive life.
There's one mantra many of us need to be reminded to incorporate into our life "All I have is all I need." Now I want to make it clear that this mantra doesn't mean that you can't desire or obtain material things in your life. You certainly can. But while we wait patiently for our desires to take hold, most of us need to be reminded of the abundance that we do have. This perspective brings us the issue of the water in the glass. Should we focus on what we don't have, or on what we do have?
It is important to appreciate the positive things around us. Recognising our assets and giving gratitude for them makes for a very powerful situation to leave joyfully in the present as well as to set the stage to attract more of what you want.
The easiest way to do this is to write down in a journal at least three things you're grateful for each day. I speak from experience when I say that after a week of doing this simple exercise you will feel happier. Should you run into an obstacle that is preventing you from realising one of your dreams, take out your journal and read down the list of things you wrote and you will feel a force of positive energy surge through your body.
Remember above all, it is the person you become and no the things you acquire that is most important. The universe is on your side. You're moving forward.
