Wanting, Found Wanting
We begin using the words, “I want” around age 5. It’s not hard to spot a child who has found them. Stand near a discount store checkout line on a Sunday afternoon, you’ll soon see a child reaching and hear the “but I want it” whine.
Are you in that “wanting” stage with your business and your life?
We all want things for our success. We want to achieve, to believe we’ve made a difference by the work we’ve done. We reach for ways to grow our relationships and our incomes. Sometimes we yearn for whatever meets our eyes. Wanting has an effect on a business and a life.
Positive or negative depends on “the why.”
If we’re wanting to grow a meaningful life or a business, accomplishment brings satisfaction. We celebrate before we find the next mountain to climb. If we’re wanting to measure up, we may achieve the world’s esteem, but the result will be found wanting in our eyes.
How do you keep your positive wanting and lose ideas that you’ll be found wanting?

Know where you’re going with your business and your life.
By remembering that we’re all here for the experience, not to watch someone’s scoreboard.
I feel you need to stay focused on your goals and keep plugging away until you’ve accomplished them. Don’t get frustrated with brick walls, either climb them or go through them. If you stay the course nothing will stand in your way of achieving peace of mind, body, and soul.
Well said, sir!
The world doesn’t have time to keep score for every one of us. Imagine the scoreboard!! 🙂
Hi Jason!
What a great attitude about facing problems you have there. I agree if you’re determined, you will get there. 🙂
