I help people get what they really want
. . . Understanding, of course, that “getting what one wants” is actually not at all even humanly possible.
(But we’ll get to that.)
The most satisfying feeling I’ve watched people arrive at is the feeling that they are getting what they want out of life.
Some never even considered the question before, and that’s where we start: What do you want from this rad opportunity—to be a human, on this planet, in this particular moment in the world’s history?
But usually people know there’s something they want, so we start by figuring out why they don’t already have it.
There’s a process for getting what you want, and it starts with accepting that it’s not possible.
Yes, definitely counter-intuitive, but think about it: as soon as you get one thing, you want something else.
You saved and saved and finally got the car of your dreams . . . and now you want a sound system for it. Or new tires. Or the new model that just came out.
Sometimes the new thing you want is completely incompatible with the thing you just got. You wanted a partner. But now you miss your freedom. You wanted to be the boss. But now you just want someone to tell you what to do.
It sounds familiar because wanting is literally the human condition.
We can’t escape this, so we might as well accept it. Get honest about what we actually want most. Release what contradicts it. Let go of everything outside our control.
The wanting doesn’t stop. But it stops being a distraction.
