"Humans have the remarkable ability to get exactly what they must have. But there is a difference between a `must' and a `want.' "
—Jim Rohn
Wanting to have something comes before having it! Read it again and you will be surprised to know how true this statement is. Human beings are very different from other species. Not only we can want something, we can also decide a strategy to get what we want.
It all starts with a weak desire and the desire occupies our thoughts. Then the thought occupies our entire mind. What is in our mind permeates our subconscious mind and enters our subconscious mind. Sometimes we also dream about what we want to have.
When this happens, we feel we must want it. This state of mind gives us the mental and physical stamina to work for what we feel we must have. We become determined and focused. When this state of mind continues, we become obsessed and we don't think about anything other than what we sincerely want.
The more and more we want something, the more and more we get `programmed' like a computer. In a computer, once the programme is installed, it becomes `use friendly' which means that we can use the computer very easily. There is a flow and we need not struggle to get the output from the computer.
Similarly when our mind is programmed to get what we really want, the programme runs very smoothly and we start having want we wanted. One way to programme our mind is decide clearly what we want and go on repeating in our mind ` I want it , I want it, I want it…….'. Do this exercise sincerely and you will know the difference between a `must have' and a `must want'!
