Do you know why you want what you want ?

All self help books instruct you to find out why you want what you want and I always think that we just want things but we don't know why.

Well I know why I want things, please do not include me in your "We".

I want what I want including the career I retired from that lead me to where and how I live today; it has allowed me to have the life and life style I have chosen to have, and the things I want in my life style. So I Definitely know why I want the things I have! It is called ambition and living my life to the fullest, and not existing!

@WillaKissing I want a lot of things. Some of those things I understand pretty clearly, in the way you describe here. But there have been things I wanted that I did not understand so... I get the question. It's nice though, to hear from someone who is so self-assured

@lubovont Thank you. I have always been self assured with a decisive heart that has lead me to many successes in life and career. Now situations have change and altered drastically through out my life's progression, but I have adapted and over came them as apposed to losing myself and my goals. Lost soldiers on the battlefield, been blown up and shot at surviving 11 major surgeries, lost a marriage, lost my son at age 21 to suicide, and yet I keep focused and forward moving. You have too in life or you die with the situation.

@WillaKissing wow... sounds like an interesting life. Not one some would want to live through, but certainly not boring.

@lubovont It has been the greatest of elations and sorrows, but it is what has made me whom I am and where I am today giving me my drive to know and be as I want to be.
