“Days full of wanting,
let them go by without worrying
that they do.”

Rumi


Coaching Point: Wanting has a mixed reputation. Some say wanting/wantingness/desire is not healthy, not “spiritual.” They say it is not okay to want.

Others say desire/wanting is natural to the human condition. We are meant to lean into “what’s next?” To create, to evolve.

Rumi’s saying reflects freedom. Acknowledging our desires and letting go of attachment to them brings peace. Noticing what you may want next yet not feeling a missingness about it now.

Be inspired to go for outcomes. Enjoy co-creating your future. Have stuff, relationships, experiences. Create and offer contributions. Live your life to its fullest expression.

But do so while enjoying the flow. Let timing support you.

Are you already good at this or is living this way every day a step up for you?
