Morning Manu, (Knowledge Addict! I like that :D)

Firstly ask yourself if these are "wants" or "needs". If they are wants then how important are they to you and can you live without them.

Next ask yourself why you feel you have this "need" or "want" to desire them.

Lastly, break each thing down.

See each thing as a goal.
Look at how realistic that goal is, and if it's not realistic at this time, break it down into more realistic goals.
Look at the options you have to achieve each goal and what steps you would need to make to achieve each.
For each step, write it down, and give a realistic timescale/deadline as to when you are going to achieve it.

Now work on each step, one at a time.

Love and Reiki Hugs

like i want to purchase a new car. It's just a want for me right now and i really want to purchase one. The problem is that i don't feel the burning desire that i have hear about for which i should work extra hours to earn extra money to buy a new car. How to cope with this. I just want to learn how to create a "Want" into a "Burning Desire".

a) Are your goals realistic or do you need to break them down into smaller, more realistic steps?
b) Are there obstacles that can get in the way of you achieving each of your goals? If so, what steps can you take to overcome those obstacles. Set yourself the necessary steps, goals and timescales to overcome each thing.

Most importantly perhaps is, don't try and achieve all your goals at once. Being realistic means looking at the whole picture and seeing what is truly achievable.

do you feel there may a conflict issue somewhere inside you re getting the car?

For example, you do want one because you can think of many benfits but there is also the financial aspect of owning and running a car that may be diluting your commitment to getting one? Or perhaps you just don't NEED a car or want a car as much as you think? Are you sure you really want a car or do you think you do because it's what you think you're supposed to want because everyone else seems to have one or you have recently passed your test etc?

Actually i got everything very easily in my life never struggled for anything when i was young. My parents fulfilled every dream of mine. Now I have started my career But i dont feel any kind of responsibility towards my career i take it very lightly. I make plans for my career and do take steps but eveytime i think i am missing something. When I saw people my social circle have great enthusiasm, dedication, energetic, the burning desire for their career and they are dedicated towards it. This is what i am lacking in "The Burning Desire". I have definite goal and a date when to acomplish it, but lack of all that enthusiasm, dedication. I want to develp a higher level of dedication towards what ever i want to do in my life but i never succeded in achieving that level of dedication.

Dont Know why 🙁

Hello again 🙂

I think you just answeredyour own question - would it be fair to say that because your parents fulfilled your every dream as a child that you felt that they were responsible for achieving everything for you? That in fact they created an environment for you where you never had reason to cultivate a 'burning desire'? Are they still there for you in this way?

If so, I am not sure you have a problem at all! I mean we are all taught that we should be living a certain way and we should strive to achieve certain things, that drive and determination are desirable qualities - but if we are in the position where we dont need to do any of these things all that means to me is that we are different, not lacking.

I guess a problem could arise when for whatever reason your parents' love and support is withdrawn, perhaps through illness or death and you will be ill equipped to deal with your life if they have not left you the means to do this. In fact perhaps you would simply like to be able to stand on your own two feet now. If that is the case Steve Pavlina suggests the following in order to develop a 'burning desire'

1. Burn your bridges
That is, tell your parents that you are no longer going to accept things from them and that you are going to go it alone. Ask them instead to support you in your endeavours. Do whatever you need to do to ensure that you do not accept their help - then you will have no choice then but to press on!

2.Fill your environment with desire boosters
3.Surround yourself with positive supportive people
4.Feed your mind with empowering information on a daily basis
5.Replace sources of negative energy with positive energy.
6. Dress for success.
7. Use mental programming.
8. Take immediate action.

Here's Steve's full article 🙂

You havent specifically said that you got your current philospohy of 'non desire' from your parents but wherever you did pick it up from if you really want to move on I hope this helps 🙂 You can apply all the points to anything - just be honest with yourself to find the answers 🙂

Best wishes
Raquel
