There’s a want you’ve capped. You aim lower than your actual desire because the real number feels greedy, or impossible, or not for someone like you.
“What would you have me know about what I actually want but won’t ask for?”
Some additional insights around this question:
- What is the real want, before you shrank it to be reasonable?
- Who decided that wanting it made you too much?
- What would you ask for if no one were keeping score?
