"What do I want?"

What do I want? This question has been on my mind because my wife often has difficulties making small decisions. My parents raised me to take turns. Turns on who get to pick that evenings activity. Which movie? Where to eat and so on. She often doesn't know what she wants. (Of course I am very grateful that she instantly decided wanted me around.) All this thinking about her wants made me consider my own. What do I was now? What do I want soon? What do I want in the coming years? What do I want at the end of my life?

It interesting if you examine the history of self-made millionaires, actors or actresses, Olympic athletes or anyone else that accomplishes something. There is a point far before they had done anything that they decided they wanted it. They decided they wanted it badly. They wanted it more then almost anything. When the time came to make the small choices as to that day's activities, they chose activities that lead to what they really wanted. Money. Fame. An Olympic medal. There is another aspect to this. Each and everyone of the prophets in the scriptures desired "the things of God", "spiritual things" and "To know Son of God". (Look at Abraham, Mormon , Nephi, etc.) So if we really want it we can have it.

19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and thieves break through and steal;

20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.

21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

So what do you want?
