I am recently fascinated by the lack which is inherent in “want” or “wanting.”  Many self help gurus, programs, well intentioned friends and sales professionals focus squarely on our wants.  This week, we have explored how when we want, we are focused on and creating more lack in our lives through the Law of Attraction ( LOA , The Law).  On the other hand, when we Choose, by our Choice and through our Choosing we fix our Focus; and, through our Focus the Law of Attraction is set in Motion in consciously positive ways.  ( see:  http://choose.ws/2009/10/29/positive-pivots/choose/what-place-do-you-choose-for-want-in-your-life/yucel/ )

A Positive Pivot takes a miscreating thought, word or phrase, for example: “I want you”, or “I miss you” and Pivots to a Positive Conscious Creation as in: “I choose you”, or “I look forward to seeing you.”  ( see also:  http://choose.ws/2009/05/01/positive-pivots/hello-world/yucel/ )

We know that Choice, Choosing, and to Choose are readily available positive pivots we can utilize when we might be tempted to be in want.

It occurs to me that other other positive pivots are also available to replace lack and want in our lives.

Let us explore further, hopefully with your comments and help, how else we are able to divorce ourselves from “want” in our lives.

There are a ready category of synonyms for “Choose” which form a nice starting point.   I have taken some examples of these from an online thesaurus ( see:  http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/choose  )

Some of these seem miscreating:

• want
• judge
• disposed to

These seem to hold promise:

• decide
• pick
• embrace
• prefer
• desire
• like
• fancy
• love

Still more are in a gray area and require further thought:

• adopt
• select
• devise
• design
• accept
• name

Now recall we are looking to replace “want” in our lives. 

With this in mind the gray list may work perhaps depending on what our context for the words and thoughts are.   Thus, I feel it requires more thought to freely utilize this gray list.   Perhaps you may help with your comments?

The miscreating list seems to me fairly obvious.  Perhaps you agree?

The list with promise seems to fall into two broad flavors of meanings.

Affection Affinity 

•  
  • Like
  • Love
  • Fancy
  • Desire
  • Prefer

Mind Made Up

•  
  • Decide
  • Pick
  • Embrace
  • Choose 

While my thoughts are still developing with regards to this area of replacing want,

Still here is where I am broadly leaning:

• I feel the Affection/Affinity list helps us to know what we are feeling and leaning towards, that is like or love. 
• Once we know this, we can go into a Mind Made Up reality and create consciously with the full force of The Law by deciding or choosing.

An example of this might be when looking at a menu, we go in this way:  “I Fancy a cheeseburger.  Yes, I Pick the cheddar cheeseburger with mushrooms.”

On the other hand, we can also do this in reverse order to get a feel for how we feel about something.  This is because once we decide on something, The Law is set in motion, and we get a better feel for it even before it is fully manifest.

This would go something like this:  “Yes, I Pick the cheddar cheeseburger with mushrooms.”  Then we wait, and notice consiously how this decision feels to us.  If it feels as though we like this idea, we then confirm, “Yes, that is what I Fancy.”  If it feels like we are not pleased with what we have set in motion, we know we can quickly make another decision, so long as the waitress is still hanging around or while it’s just floating in our heads as pure thought.

So, what do you Fancy?

Yours in choice,

Yucel
