While there are many challenges to living a happy and contented life, I\u2019d say without reservation that confusion among the concepts of LIKING<\/i>, WANTING<\/i> and CHOOSING<\/i> is responsible for a disproportionately huge amount of human misery & frustration. So here is my attempt to reduce some of that suffering by eliminating its cause.<\/p>\n

LIKING<\/i> is not<\/b> the same thing as CHOOSING<\/i>! They are 2 completely different concepts!<\/p>\n

LIKING<\/i> is akin to wishing, or even hoping, and it is strictly emotional. While CHOOSING<\/i> may begin<\/i> with wishing or hoping, it always concludes<\/i> in physical action that is proof of the choice you\u2019ve made. Consider this deeply.<\/p>\n

As for WANTING<\/i> \u2013 it is simply a bridge<\/i> between LIKING<\/i> and CHOOSING<\/i>.<\/p>\n

WANTING<\/i> starts with the WHY<\/b> underpinning your LIKING<\/i>, and then it infuses it with your Will<\/b>, ideally to such a degree that you end up making the best choice for yourself i.e. CHOOSING<\/i> what you were LIKING<\/i> in the first place!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. LIKING.<\/li>\n
  2. WANTING.<\/li>\n
  3. CHOOSING.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Three different concepts that, working together<\/i>, can<\/strong> make your dreams come true!<\/p>\n
