Want is needy and will make you needy.}} {{Want, and belief in lack, shrink your opportunities.}} {{Want is an empty void — your real value is full and abundant.}} {{Want is always hungry and searching, whereas contentment is steady, calm and receiving.}} {{Don't be so busy wanting and seeking that you never realize you already have and are; you are your destination.}} Relax and empty your mind of doubt and want. {{Empowerment comes from self-realization and recognition of our internal gifts, which we already have in abundance.}} Some people, unfortunately, stay in a state of paralysis; in an endless cycle of want. {{The secret is in realizing your internal gifts and then setting them free.}} {{If you don't know your calling or gifts yet, don't worry, your gifts and purpose know you — and if you are open you will not have to find them, because they will find you.}} **Source:** [[books/Simple Reminders Book (2014-2018)|Simple Reminders]] <!-- bryant-content-generator:end -->
