Hello, and welcome back to practicing human, the podcast where every day we're getting a little better at life

I'm your host, Cory Muscara, and in today's episode we're going to talk about what you really want

More to come on that in a moment first let settle in together with the sound of the bells

Okay, so let's talk about what you really want

This is one of those inquiries that if we can get clear on earlier in life, or let's just say as early as possible from where we are right now

It can really make things a lot more simple in our life and direct us down a path

That is actually fulfilling rather than one that we perceive to be fulfilling

Because here's the thing

Almost all of what we want and I would be bold enough to say that

100% of what we want reduces to some sort of feeling

some sort of sense of

safety, ease, calm, and purpose and I would really argue for

wholeness that most of us whether we realize it or not are

doing things that help us to feel more whole, complete

Okay, as we are we wouldn't

necessarily admit to that because we feel like no, I'm doing things I'm growing I want to manipulate

certain things and improve and change and so the idea of feeling like okay as we are feels

Antithetical to that, but it's it's in service of some future moment where something in us can rest where we've

moved toward an integration a sense of wholeness a sense of completeness and

And so everything that we're doing is essentially in service of some feeling and we won't go too deep into like what specifically that is but let's just agree upon for now

At least partially or hopefully as much as possible that much of what you're doing is in service of some some feeling whether it's like I want to make money

So I could go on vacations and then there'll be a sense of a freedom of ease of relaxation
