What you want is not necessarily good for you...

Nowadays, many people love to talk about their vision, dreams and goals. In general, I think this is a very good thing in particular if it really changes lives to the positive.

However, we need to make sure that our goals are indeed beneficial as things we desire might actually turn out to harm us. In particular, the media world which surrounds us creates a broad range of desires in us. Many of these seems exciting and give us temporary high but we need more and more of them. But no matter of how much we get, we always feel empty again.

I really liked what Donald Miller wrote in Blue Like Jazz: "I think the things we want most in life, the things we think will set us free, are not the things we need (...) the tricky thing about life is, really, that the things we want most will kill us."

What about your life? Do the things you build your life on, give you the fulfilment and satisfaction you truly desire?

If not, you might be looking in the wrong place...
