What do you crave? That is a powerful question. It is different than “What do you want?” or “What do you dream of?” I was going to write an article about this, but decided that instead I would post my journaling about that question instead. What do you crave? I crave connection with people. I want to have great conversations about Life. I want my mind and spirit engaged, stimulated, and challenged. I want to make a difference for people.
I love to connect people with things or ideas, to help them see that they are up to something. It’s exciting to feel that shift from a place of someone feeling “less than” to the space of “wow, I am up to something and I can claim it.” I think the claiming it is what I yearn to see in others and actually for myself.
It was an eye-opener for me to realize that I viscerally need the things I crave. When I put it into that context it empowers me to claim my craving. It is not a whim or some little thing to me that I want to connect so deeply with people and with myself. When I don’t have that deep connection on a regular basis I shrink, I get small. I forget that I am up to something and I begin to tone down who I am at my core – I go into hiding. What a gift to recognize that visceral need to connect. I have also been asking other people what they crave and here are some of their responses.
- To feel like I’m in charge of my own life
- Acceptance
- Acceptance and acknowledgment of who I am
- I want my “0n-switch” on
- Significance
- Relationships – that’s what brings the fun and purpose back together
