Programming the Mind: Must Have vs. Must Want
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 can we want something, we can also devise 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 through our subconscious mind. We even 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 `user friendly', which means that we can use the programme 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 smoothly and we start having what we wanted. One way to programme our mind is to 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'!
