Across our lives, perhaps everyday, or every second day, we come across something that we really want. It could be a tangible or intangible thing. Dreams of going away on a holiday, getting lessons to become closer to our goals, or an actual product that you know might inspire you to be happier and better for it. To want, just like feeling wanted, is all part of human nature.
But... the other thing about being human is that sometimes we don't get what we want (I hear ya, fan girl who wants to go to Steven Ma's concert badly). This usually boils down to money, time and/or circumstances. We realise that we don't have the money for it, the time to invest in it, or simply that some circumstances mean that we are unable to get that thing we so desperately covet. This realisation can be a daily struggle for some.
My new theory is that if I want something now so so badly, that it makes me unhappy that I don't have it, then perhaps it's not such a good idea for me to have it, right now. Is it just a way psych myself out from the realm of my desires? I'm not sure. But it's certainly a different way of looking at things. And hey, not saying that this applies to Lai Soon at all, but just a little something I felt like sharing today. I am a pretty content person generally (as you would know), but I am still learning the art of patience with myself. There are so many things I wish to do, experiences I'd like to have... but I know that all in good time, with planning, they will come. Just not today, not right now.
