I agree with the blog post. Many times I've psyched myself out and never attracted what I intended.
Most of the time the wanting, desiring, and longing was much more fun than the having(ask any mother)!
I was also thinking about how excitement ties in with my dog's food addiction. My little pug will literally sit in the kitchen and wait for food to be servered to her for hours sometimes. I realized today why that is. It has nothing to do with her "being a dog". A healthy dog doesn't desire food all the time! I realized that when she was a puppy and ever since I've always made her get excited and jumpy as I was about to feed her, give her a treat, or food scraps. I created the trigger in her that food equals happiness/excitement, and that's why she has this abnormal behavior of always desiring food now. Excitement & other emotions associated with the wrong things can cause a lot of disorders if you really think about it.
