You can know what you need and want.

This week, think how many times recently you have answered a question about yourself with, “I don’t know.”

Why do you not know? Do you really not know what you want for dinner, where you want to go on vacation, or whether you want to buy a new couch or not?

Or, have you spent so much time ignoring or denying what you need and want that now you can’t even identify what those needs and wants are? Are they hidden underneath responsibilities and desires to serve others? Are they put aside under the pressure of life’s stresses?

Make a promise to yourself that the next question like these you get, you will answer it, even if it is not your best answer. This will be a start at letting some of these thoughts about what you need or want fight their way back into your mind.
