Most people confuse wanting with desire, and the consequences are far more costly than they realize. Wanting sounds innocent enough, even aspirational, but it quietly anchors the mind in lack. I remember learning this decades ago, long before it was dressed up in manifestation language or spiritual branding, and even then I understood it in my head. What took much longer was understanding it in my body, in my relationships, in the way life actually responds when you orient yourself one way versus another.
