Why Wanting Keeps You From Having (Lake Atitlán, Guatemala)

Engineering Emotions and Energy with Justin Wenck, Ph.D.

Have you been wanting something for a long time, but you just haven't gotten it?
In this episode, I talk about how continuing to want something prevents you from actually having what you want. This can seem counterintuitive. How can I stop wanting something if I don't have it?
I like to call this the Amazon Prime way of living, where you only click the order button once, and then (at least where I live) the package will arrive. There's no need to worry anymore, the order is in. I have it in my mind already and I have an expectancy that it will arrive, but I don't have expectations (it could come from any delivery company and any time).
I've been traveling a lot so I'll use a travel metaphor as well. Continuing to want the same thing is like staying at a ticket counter purchasing tickets for a trip and never leaving the counter to go get on the plane. Eventually, you have to leave the ticket counter and allow the process to occur which results in the trip you want. There's no Hawaiian vacation at the ticket counter, it involves going on a journey that might have unexpected delays or delights.
What's something you've been wanting for a long time that you still haven't gotten? Let's see how we can shift you into having it.
My book Engineered To Love has great exercises to shift you into having what you want. It's available on Amazon https://a.co/d/inqi2Kk
P.S. I'll also be talking about my recent travels in Costa Rica and now to Guatemala.
