![]() Hi Mark,
To add to your post. I was wrestling with the "What do I want?" question for over a year last year. And I must admit that I came up with many wonderful things that I wanted. However in the end, I, like your post, realized that it all came down to how I feel. To the feelings I really wanted to experience. So I began to ask myself a DIFFERENT question like "What feelings do I want to feel most in my finances. What feeling do I want to feel most in my relationships, What feeling etc. etc.?" Once I figured the feeling part out. Once I realized that that was THE END that I was looking for, I just decided to CHOOSE that feeling. Now I just act as If I already have that experience, and low and behold I feel great. My life has been changed because of it. Glad to see someone articulate my experience as well as you have here.
