Fighting the ‘Need' Mentality

The best is still to come.

Today one thought struck my mind: I can stop living my life on my needs. My needs are met and I can have my own desires.

I grew up in poor family and my parents could meet only my basic needs. So this mental state of ‘the need’ was present with me for almost thirty years. Analysing all my involvments, I found this attitude in every and each of them.

Buying stuff, looking for a job and even comunicating with friends was driven by the mentality of a ‘need’ in my head.

What clothes do I need? What shoes do I need? How much do I need to earn? Who needs my support and communication most?

It goes round this state of mind. All my life I have been ignoring desires and wishes burried deep in my heart. I am the only one, who is responsible for that.

There is more danger in having such an attitude than unfulfilled desires. You are living unfulfilled life. And it is bugging you there deep in your heart. It becomes a void inside of you. Which is more, that void becomes a motivating factor for your actions.

I understood I could end up living for that void and not for my dreams.
