Wanting vs Committed

from Thrive Beyond Pornography · host Zach Spafford

-       Do you really want to or is there a part of you that isn’t willing to let it go yet? -       Choosing to do this on purpose. -       Not waiting until you never look at porn to have the confidence to be a free person -       Commitment vs wanting – if you want something that doesn’t mean you will be able to get it. -       To want is to desire or wish for something – there is no action required – it is passive -       Wanting is really easy – all you have to do is think “I want this” -       There is no risk involved.   -       It doesn’t require anything of us. -       Saying “I want to stop looking at porn” isn’t going to get it done -       It increases desire without any positive results – which can create a negative result in that you think you are doing something without results –  -        -       When we think we  are doing something without results we are creating failures -       This is proof in our heads that we are failing.  -        -       When we want something but aren’t doing anything to get it we are creating a gap that our brain tells us is insurmountable.  -        -       When we are committed we promise to do something.  -       Have you ever said to someone, “I’m going to get this done”.  Whether is was, going into a certain profession or building something that you had no experience doing? -       As you go through that process, in your mind, you never waver. -        -       You know it is going to happen no matter what.  -        -       That is committed.  -        -       Action is required – until you get to the place you want to be. -         -       You aren’t waiting for it to happen before you believe in it.  -        -       Being committed is uncomfortable and challenging.  -        -       It also gets results -        -       You will have to do things differently and think about circumstances differently -       You have to see the world differently than you do now to make that thing happen -       A really simple example of this in my life has been becoming a podcaster.  -       I had no idea how to podcast 6 months ago.  -       It wasn’t even on my radar.  -       Then I wanted to be a podcaster because I thought it would be a great way to get the message out that there is help and there is a way forward for people who struggle.  -       But that didn’t make me a podcaster. -       For months before I really committed to doing it I wanted it and I thought about it and I...
