Wanting something throughout the life is very natural Quest for us !
And starts right after our arrival in this world !
Yes we make mom realize that
"We Want Milk " with our first cry without any proper greeting or introduction.
And then starts the journey of NONSTOP WANTING in our life which ends (hopefully ) with our last breath .
There is hardly a moment in everybody's life when he or she does not want something .
Worldly material or spiritual needs we run through this tunnel for lifetime.
Our Wanting list never ends though it varies according to our likes and dislikes such as
Some want money , power and physical beauty
Some want mental peace , spiritual growth and connection to Nature Or Creator
Few wants both which is obviously toughest .
Life ,experience and time makes some appropriate changes in our WANTING LIST!
These changes are followed by our inner demands which often take ages to find their "reality of worth" and sometimes dramatic twists and turns appear them abruptly .
We run madly on the road of WANTING and try hard to fulfill them desperately
We Don't stop ,continue running with shivering body and heavy breathing .
Many of us get what they wanted and ventured for but how Sad that
After having all that they quested for and lost more of their life and strength they find
IT Was NOT WORTH IT!
They could have live without it even Better Life With More Peace and Happiness!
Wanting is not bad .
Wanting without being clear about our Needs is not just bad but dangerous either .
I wanted just One thing from my Creator since i came into my senses .
"Guidance" for Wanting Which is Right For Me!
And at this part of age (49 year old) i Realize that God Answered my very first prayer so kindly !
He allowed me to ask for things which were right for me !
And No gratitude is enough to to be Grateful for his Kindness!
Today here is a blank for you all precious people to share your thought about your desire :)
I want greed less and contentment more.
your turn ?
Dearest Baili, what a fabulous post!
ReplyDeleteYes, this is the way we should all live our lives...following the Path our Creator has planned for us.
What I want more than anything else is...
to LOVE MORE...and WORRY LESS!
I do believe I am in this life to learn from my challenges and then use that experience to help others.
As always, a brilliant and inspiring post, my Friend!😊😊
Lots of love and hugs ❤❤❤
My precious Ygraine thank you very much for lovely response!
DeleteLoving more removes worries automatically because
The more we give away Love the Lighter our soul becomes
Just like a carefree feather floating in the air having no burden or fear
This touched my heart!
ReplyDeleteHello, I have learn to do with less and there is nothing really important that I need.
ReplyDeleteGreat post, we all need to learn to love each and be grateful for what we have. Enjoy your day and weekend. PS, thanks for the visit and comment on my blog.
Nice post we have to be less greedy and wanting.
ReplyDeleteGreat theme for a post and you've given us lots to think about.
ReplyDeleteLESS stress MORE compassion.
ReplyDeleteCompassion heals the stress dear Joe well said
DeleteThis reminds me of the post that I just did about people wanting so many material possessions. What truly makes one happy is the wanting and desire to have peace and joy and love. I like your last line, dear Baili. I get tired of people boasting about what they have, their homes, their cars, their status in life. Some of the wisest people in the Bible had no possessions at all. Having things is ok, but being humble about it is special, indeed. : )
ReplyDelete~Sheri
I agree dear Sheri but how unfortunate that peace and joy come in our wanting list too late when we get completely disappointed by our earlier wishlist
DeleteI also agree that most of people always like to talk about their possessions all the time or recent fashion or backbbiting which is annoying and boring for me so this is main reason that I less socialize
Having necessary stuff is okay but drumming it as show off is totally low act to me
What I wanted since I was a child was children of my own. When they were born I was ecstatic. What I didn't know was that I wanted grandchildren even more. I have been so fortunate to have my major wishes fulfilled. Of course I would like to have more money and I really would like to see a world where people want only the best for each other.
ReplyDeleteOh dear Emma thank you so much for such beautiful comment
ReplyDeleteSounds like straight from your heart :)
I am surprised by resemblance of our wishes
Either I wanted to have lots of children which my poor health did not allow though but I am overwhelmed by the grace of my Creator who blessed me with few at least
In this whole world no one has everything he wants
There is incompleteness exist in each life and it has some meaning for sure
I want to be more grateful for all the blessings that I have already been given, and I want less confusion and chaos in my life.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dear Connie:)
DeleteI wish and pray that may you have all the happiness and peace in life my friend!
And being grateful is also a way to destination indeed
Very insightful and thoughtful post. You are absolutely all filled with wants. One thing that is interesting to me is how sometimes some things that we want at one point in life become not so important later on. The old saying "Be careful what you wish for" can also be true.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week Baili!
Thank you dear Brain!
DeleteThis is interestingly great quote
Yes we have to be very careful about our wishlist as once they are true
No escape there to reverse
I want less cruelty and more kindness. The world would be so beautiful if we could all be good to each other.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely precious wish dear Martha!
DeleteI wish all people can keep in their thoughts that
WE ARE IN THIS LONG LASTING PLANET FOR REALLY A SHOT WHILE SO WHY NOT BE KIND AND RESPECTFUL TO EACH OTHER AND MAKE OUR EXISTENCE SUCCESSFUL
Beautiful, heartfelt post, Baili!
ReplyDeleteMore and more I want less and less.
Ah this is so lovely dear Chris :)
DeleteLOVING AND LIVING LIFE IN IT'S FULLEST WAY IS BLESSING
KEEPING OUR END IN THOUGHTS MAKE US WANT SO LESS EXACTLY
This is such a beautiful post, baili. I agree with all you say.
ReplyDeleteFor myself, I wish for less anxiety and more courage :)
Thank you dear Jenny!
DeleteI always found you a kind and sweet lady !
I think we all want courage at some point of our life .
Which never ends though but often be dim by our understanding and compromises for living
And it certainly leads to but anxiety.
But I am sure there are millions of ways to get rid of this disorder and most appropriate is to stay satisfied which we have chosen for us and let go that we don't have control on
Inspiring post, Baili! I want war less and peace more.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Louise!
DeleteWe are with you in same club:)
Interesting point of you, I have never thought about 'wanting' this way but you know - you are right with this thoughts! We really usually want something all the time!
ReplyDeleteHaha
DeleteYes we want things all the time just to reason our lives ;)
How far these reasoning work for us is different story with different experiences
Sometimes "wanting" enables us to move forward and get out of a rut. I think I want to be more contemplative. I seem to be in a hurry so much. Less hurry, more contemplation. That's my wish!
ReplyDeleteContemplation unveil the actual realities hidden behind the fog of raw and rough look at the life dear Jenny!
DeleteWithout being PATIENT AND CONTEMPLATIVE we can't meet the truth that set us FREE
Baili, you have truly shared an incredible truth here, that from birth we are born with wants. It is a God-driven need within our hearts from birth, but I believe our greatest want is for more of Him! In every heart there is a taste of eternity and we try to fill it with many things, but the only way to satisfy that deepest want in our hearts is to seek and fill our hearts with HIM! JESUS is the answer to our hearts cry, need want and longing!! You have shared this truth beautifully!! To answer your question ... I want more of JESUS and less of me! Love and appreciate your desire for Him! Blessings and hugs Baili!
ReplyDeleteDear Marilyn this beautiful comment of your's brought tears in my eyes!
DeleteWHAT A SUBLIM WANT THAT ENDS ALL THE RESTLESSNESS OF WANTING MORE AND MORE AND MORE...
ONCE WE FIND HIM WITHIN MORE OF US
OUR BEING FOUND IT'S TRUE MEANING AND PURPOSE!
War less and peace more, hunger less and food more, polution less and fresh clean air more.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Ah all things are top of the list dear Pedro!
DeleteBeautiful post! Have a delightful week! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI want less selfishness and more selflessness please!
ReplyDeleteSo true dear Betty!
DeleteIf we learn to care for others as much as we do ourselves world is heavenly place indeed
Thanx for sharing your experience

Se houvesse paz no mundo, haveria menos fome e menos dor. Era o que eu mais desejava. Gostei da reflexão do seu texto.
ReplyDeleteUma boa semana.
Um beijo.
Well said dear Grace!
ReplyDeletePeace is solution for each single problem of this world
Thank you for this thoughtful post, Baili. Everyone has more or less desire for material things and need for intangible and non-material, which is quite natural. What I detest is “wasteful lives of nonstop consumption” in materialism and “power mongers.” My reply; I want to be worried less and to be thankful more. Wish you a peace of mind.
ReplyDeleteYoko
So true dear Yoko!
DeleteThis is not understandable that even though we all know that life is so short and unpredictable
We still keep wasting our times and energies in consuming stuff of no value
Nothing will go along while leaving this world!
All we leave behind is good or bad memories
Dearest Baili, you always write such thoughtful and heartfelt posts.
ReplyDeleteIt gives us good things to think about.
The older I get the more contented I find myself, I am fortunate, because not everyone is. So I wish peace and contentment for all …
All the best Jan
Thank you dear Jan!
DeleteThese are TOP OF THE LIST IN EITHER MY WISH LIST
Dear Baili, I want awe more and cynicism less. Peace.
ReplyDeleteDear Dee such precious want !
DeleteI BELIEVE that CYNICISM IS WAY TO DISBELIEVING THE CREATOR !
HOLDING FAITH IN LORD KEEP OUR WAY OF THINKING POSITIVE AND UNAFFECTED BY ANY UPS AND DOWNS OF LIFE :)
