Written by a human, for humans, always.
There is so much that most people want in our lives.
Success.
Achievements.
Fulfillment.
But here is the issue...
There are wants in our lives...
And there are needs in our lives.
There are things that we need from a psychophysiological perspective.
Sleep.
Water.
Meaningful human connection.
Specific micronutrients.
Safety.
You can want all sorts of things in the world...
But they are not needs.
The only things that are needed...
Are needs.
But there seems to be this line that more and more people struggle with...
Between what they want and what they need.
Here's the reality that we need to understand...
You can only get what you want...
If you are serious about getting what you need.
Sure...
You may be able to make a small sacrifice here or there for a tiny period of time.
But you cannot constantly sacrifice your needs for the sakes of your wants.
Your body will rebel.
At some point.
When that happens...
It will begin a war between your wants and your needs.
Here's the issue...
Your wants will not win.
There are reasons that most people absolutely fail to achieve the things they want...
And die on their deathbeds full of regrets.
They put more effort into the things they want in life...
And their bodies literally destroy their ability to get anywhere useful with those wants.
The needs become the reason that the wants are never achieved or sustained.
I know it can be a struggle.
I myself want to write so much more today...
But my body is telling me that there are things that I need.
Sleep.
Recovery.
I have had a long, fun, and eventful weekend, but there is a cost...
So, my ability to achieve my wants is limited by the needs of my body.
It is precisely for days like this that I created a minimum for my writing, but that is an article for a different day.
Here's the point...
You need to understand what you actually need in life.
If you ever hope to achieve the things you want...
They will not be achieved at the expense of the things you need.
The war between your wants and needs has a winner...
Your needs.
You will not achieve your wants unless you are also tending to your needs.
The key to obtaining what you want...
Is to understand that creating a war is a losing matter...
So create psychophysiological unity...
That is the only way to actually obtain your wants in life.
