Ep 48. Wanting Without Needing

Jody Moore
About this episode

As human beings we all have needs and we all have wants. There is nothing selfish or wrong with any of it. But many of us feel our wants and needs just happen to us and we believe that if people and things outside of us changed, we would have those desires fulfilled. I have found tremendous peace in realizing I can want things without needing them. Especially when it comes to other people's behaviors. Wanting and needing are not the same thing and your desires are within your control.
