When you fear that you won’t be allowed to have something, you learn to squelch your desires and settle for what you have. This may protect you from disappointment somewhat, but it also leaves you feeling dulled down and dissatisfied with your life.
The truth is, it’s okay to want! It’s okay to have desires. Those desires are what make you feel alive and enthusiastic. They boost your energy, they make your eyes sparkle and your heart beat faster. They get positive energy flowing through your life, and that’s a very good thing.
Maybe you can’t have everything you want, but it’s still fun to dream and imagine what could be. If nothing else, it makes your existing life seem a bit more exciting and interesting. So go ahead, make peace with your desires and let your imagination fly.
