Have you ever wished for something so badly, and when you got it, you had doubts about how much you wanted it? Have you thought about something constantly for a long period of time, swung hopelessly between the victorious triumph of achieving it, and the desperate misery of being disappointed, while you imagined all the things that will happen to your life if that wish were to come true? Why is it that we really start evaluating how much we need something the second we get it? Is it because we think we are not worth it? Is it because we have a change of heart? Is it because it comes a bit too late? Is it because our hope for it runs away, our desperate need for it fades, our wasted time put towards it exceeds the limit that we can bear? Is it because the feeling of gratification that we get from accomplishing what we want, regardless of what it is, is greater than what we want? Is it because the feeling of winning something over takes over the value of the things itself? Every body wants to be a winner, and that is not a problem, but what is it that you want to win? Is it just the feeling of winning? Everybody wants to feel that he or she is right, worth a wish coming true, worth the feeling of accomplishment . Once we learn to look deep into our hearts and deep into our minds, we will learn to want that which we appreciate before we have. Why? Because our well-being is in need of it. If you cannot appreciate what you don’t have before you have it, you will not appreciate it after you have it. Period. We thrive on the idea of being able to change our surroundings to suit our needs, and we promise ourselves to change so many things, only if we could get that one wish. But, what we ignore is the fact that our hearts and minds are in need of constant care so that they do not feel the need to change others for them to be content. I will not tell you to be careful before wishing for something and allowing yourself to dive into its beautiful sky of imagination. I will tell you to be careful to treat yourself well, and to be responsive to the needs of your heart and mind, so that you may be content with what you have, and, if you wish for something, that you already know its value because your heart and mind truly do need it.
