How to WANT things?

Why does the question about how to clearly express wishes arise, and why isn't it always enough just to want something? It's simpler than it seems, and I'm afraid I'll disappoint you by saying that there's no magic in it. Well, almost no. It's not about meticulously describing your desires as an experienced lawyer. The point is that when we think about our wish in detail and reflect on how clear and comprehensible it is, when we imagine it, write it down on paper, etc., we actually fix our attention on it. Our mind begins to RECOGNIZE our desires, to focus on them, so that we linger on it and it doesn't just get lost in the endless stream of our thoughts. It's time! Things are going to be different now! Just put your mind to your desire.
