What we want and what we need at times may conflict.  Sometimes we focus on a want and circumvent the need right in front of us.

 

Sometimes with all life’s noise, we forget what we know deep inside.  We do not really forget, sometimes we just need to re-focus, to quiet ourselves and hear what we need to hear.
