This question, which worries every adult, with a careful approach breaks up into two components: "how to want what you have?" and "how to have what you want?". Hence there are two problematic situations: we do not value what surrounds us now, and we want something more, but we do not know how to achieve it. It would be great if these situations coincided with each other! But each of them must be dealt with separately, so that later, adding both solutions together, answer the main question: "Still, how do you want what you have and have what you want?"

Why do not we want what we have? Why did we at some point cease to appreciate what surrounds us? It can be difficult for a person to answer these questions immediately, without serious reflection. However, even though the answer is actually simple, it will take some time to accept it. And the answer is as follows. Sometimes we don’t value what we have, because for us those values, which we have achieved, ceased to be important, and we got all this. Over time, it turns out that status work alone does not mean spiritual satisfaction, and money alone does not bring happiness. And at the moment of this rethinking, reassessment of our own priorities, it is time to seriously think about another issue.

What do we really want? With the external simplicity and stereotypedness of this question, answering it is much more difficult than any other. After all, answering it, you need to be as honest as possible with yourself, and even this honesty requires some internal work in order for the answers received to be as sincere as possible. Perhaps this will be somewhat helped by the fact that people who no longer need to think about material well-being and financial issues ask a similar question. In the end, there comes a time when these matters are settled, but satisfaction is not felt in the soul. Therefore, there is no sense in deceiving yourself, and you can free yourself from the burden of having to buy material things for the sake of happiness by looking for other, deeper answers to this question.

From birth, talents are hidden in a person. The world is arranged in such a way that each person, being realized, playing his own role, by virtue of his capabilities, makes him better. This happens as if by itself, the main thing is to understand and accept your nature and begin to act in accordance with it. And then the question: “How to have what you want?” Will cease to worry us, because we will have wonderful opportunities and previously invisible roads to achieve our real goals.
