What is it that we really want and how can we have more of it in how we approach each moment?
What happens when you get what you really want?
What will be different?
What do you have when you get that?
What is it you really want?
And what will you still want when you have that?
What about when you have that other thing, what will you want then?
And if that is the thing you really want, and it feels like there is nothing behind that, what is it about that thing that makes it important?
What are the qualities of that thing?
In a word what do you have when you have that?
If nothing changed, and everything around you was still the same, what would having that word, right now, look like?
What if what we are often seeking are qualities that we can bring about in our own lives?
This isn’t to deny there are certain things that in having them, be it more wealth, a promotion, a new relationship, a new living situation, to name a few, can transform our way of life, but what if we can also bring about some of the qualities they create from how we are in the world and from how we see things?
For example, if that word or quality is freedom or love or joy or wealth or happiness, what does bringing those qualities into your life look like in each moment? What is the joyful way of seeing something? What is the wealth or richness I can experience now? What is the freedom I am currently denying myself? What is the love I can bring to this moment?
While we could say every situation has a different potential for the qualities we seek; a scenario where there are lots of things I like present is more likely to bring me greater joy. What if every situation had limitless potential for the qualities we seek?
This is all to say, what if what we really want is often far more accessible, in its essence, than we often think? What if the material or tangible manifestation of what we really want is just one way of experiencing it?
What if every moment has the potential to offer us more of the qualities we want in our life and it is up to us to allow ourselves to look for and to experience them?
And if this moment feels devoid of the qualities we want more of, how could we bring them to this moment?
What if the tangible manifestations of what we really want come from bringing more of their qualities to each moment?
If you could have more of any quality in your life, what would it be?
How can you be that quality more in each moment?
What would it be if everyone brought more of the qualities they want from life to each moment?
