I just thought I'd share something that might be of value. It's about that paradox of "wanting without needing".

1. Identify all the desires that you have (from materialistic to spiritual, there are no rules).
2. Identify the feeling of fulfillment that you would feel from obtaining all of your desires.
3. From memory or imagination, evoke that feeling of fulfillment fully right now as a mind-body-emotional state.
4. Identify one thing that you could do towards achieving the goals identified in Step1.
5. Act from that state of fulfillment towards your goal RIGHT NOW!

It's simple, I know. Easier said than done? I don't really think so. I think this is more about transcending the quick-fix-magic-pill-mentality.

Anyway, I hope that helps.

Thanks

Den
