6. Wants vs. Needs

This week I am in major reflection of myself, and I am in really deep thought. Have you ever waited for something, and it killed you every second you waited. I am that way. I am planning on doing something really big. I am stepping out into the big bad world of loans and credit scores. I got a credit card to establish credit because I want to borrow money from either the bank or from the company I am buying from. I really want a motorcycle. I have always wanted one. Now, it will be easier to get one than ever before. I work on days I'm off from school, and I stay at school the other days. This way I am saving a lot of money on gas.

My problem is the common argument between my heart and my brain. This is my passion. I long to work really hard towards something that is just barely possible and will not cause any regrets in the end. By doing this, I feel I will be using parts of my potential. I know that this to some will be a waste, but it is just a step. This is how I will open the gates of my heart and let all of the knowledge, strength, power, and perserverence out. All of these emotions are trapped inside, and the only way to let them out is to do this. It states in Proverbs that a deffered heart of hope is a sick one, but a heart that finds that home is happy with life. It says something like that, so I will feel burdened and bothered until I accomplish this goal.

I realize that I by no means need this material object. Why do I want it? Being human is the answer to that question. It is not possible. In the end, I guess it is up to God's will. I will just pray that it is His will I can get one. By the way, I praise him that He gave me a job. I am so excited start Wednesday, so wish me luck my fellow students.
