The Journey Inward

I read this quote: Has it occurred to you that you could ask for more? Not just more than you now have, but more than you’re now asking for?

This quote knocked me back a bit. A fellow teacher and I work with a small group of women leading a workshop on manifestation. What struck me was not that the concept was new or that the goals might be hard to set and follow, but rather that the women did not know what they wanted. They had not stopped to think about it. Some vaguely wanted things out of their control, like a job for a spouse. Some had been so busy caring for a spouse and children that it hadn’t occurred to them to want for themselves.

But want we must! We must want more for ourselves. Always. As women, we might feel selfish or demanding or bossy, but we need to get comfortable with this word. We need to take up more space. We need to lend our voice and our perspective and our ideas to the world. We need MORE of everything out there and within us that we long for. We need to have longings! 

What do you want MORE of today?
