How do you know and decide what you want?

Question

I understand that 'knowing what you want' is the best that can happen to a person, because then everything he/she does is going to be sort of part of that path towards the goal. But what if you don't really know how to decide or feel where you should be going, or what you want at all?

Please be honest. If you think this here is all mind B.S. then tell me.

If you have pointers or know some things I can do to start deciding instead of wondering, then tell me those.

thanks

Answer 1

Realizing most people do not know what they want. And the ones who do usually do not like what they want. Is the first step in learning that it's the wanting is what counts.

Pick something and go from there live will lead the way.

Answer 2

I don't go by what I want. I go by what I NEED in my life to acquire the things I want. I know that I need a degree in my chosen field to get the career I want. I apply that rule to every aspect of my life down to the smallest matter...like I know I need energy at work and I want coffee but coffee isnt the best way to get the energy I need, a well balanced diet and good sleep is what I need. Thats js the way I see it because I can make a list of everything I want and get it but just because it's what I want, I know that it may not be what I need.

A great man taught me that happiness is found in our journey, not in what we want to find at the end of the road. It is important to have goals, dreams, desires, etc. but if we resolve our happiness to the end result of these achievements we may find that we are always chasing happiness.

I do not think this all mind BS !  It is a question everybody seeks answers to. To live your life on purpose and not just by default, you need to figure out what it is you enjoy and are interested in. You have gifts and talents that are given for you to use in your life's purpose.

You are right to contemplate and ask questions about your future. It is of utmost importance a person is concerned about this. Anybody can be a nobody, but only people that are serious of becoming what they are meant to become are fulfilled in life. Keep asking and pursuing what it is you desire..Each day is a step further in the right direction.

Seek and you shall find !  YOu are a very wise person to be thinking and seeking for your future.  Whatever you do, just do it with all your heart and all your strength. You will be a success if you do this.

Seek wisdom in every area.....

All of life is trying to find out what you want, where to go, who to be.  It's the journey, not the destination. Keep trying!
