When I was a small child, I had needs.

My survival relied upon having my needs met by others.

I developed coping strategies to optimize the potential my needs would be met.

I had to believe I would survive. I was reliant on others.

As an adult, I can survive on my own.

I can need nothing.

My needs are now replaced with wants.

Wants are preferences that guide my choices and mold my experiences.

From the space of wants, I transition from believing I can survive to knowing I can thrive.

I move from engaging coping skills and relying on others to making choices in collaboration with those who authentically support my growth along with theirs.

There is power in wanting and knowing.

Wanting and knowing bring assuredness, clarity, and focus.

Expectations fall away, choices become simpler, and I begin to align more and more with my sense of fulfillment, harmony, and success.

Feeling the difference…

I need. I want.

I believe. I know.

I want.

I know.

I know.

I know.
