What does your heart really want? If you spent time with people, most of them will express what they want in material things but ultimately, what we all want is to experience a certain emotion. We want to feel good, happy and joyful, and fulfilled. Our heart already knows what we want.

Ask many people what their heart wants and they will think of very human needs. 'My heart wants love' they will say. 'It wants a happy family and a happy partnership with the one we love. It wants a comfortable home and a comfortable living.'

We all want these things. They're signs of deep commitment to care for the family and an acknowledgment of the power of love and joy to bring comfort to our lives.

Think about the question. What is it your heart really wants? Not the outer,What Does Your Heart Want? Articles material self, or the fragile ego that needs reassurance. Your heart. The deepest part of you which tells you in your quiet moments what it is that you really need to find in yourself.

If you think about it, we can have all these things. We can all have love. We all have it inside if we could only open up enough to let it spread its wings.

We could all have a happy family life and a healthy partnership with the one we love, because we can choose to live in a way that makes it so. Love and happiness don't depend on externals to exist. They come from the heart, and they manifest themselves in honesty and truth about our emotions and our commitment to being the best we can.

And what about the comfortable home?

That too. Remember, we're not talking about material things. The comfortable home isn't about bricks and mortar, or whitewashed weatherboard with a roof on top. A comfortable home and a comfortable living are what we can have if we work out what the important things are in life, and are not distracted by the latest widescreen TV or the must-have dishwasher. The comfortable home and living are what we make in our relationships with other people and how we connect with them.

Think beneath the material layers and focus on what's underneath. The real you that strives for truth, honesty and love. The real heart of you that opens up to all possibilities and lives a life of integrity and courage.

None of the material things in life are worth a bean if our lives are filled with unhappiness and regret, and we live out our days feeling unfulfilled.

Just remember always to look beneath at what your inner truth is telling you, and you will know what your heart really wants.

Ask for what you really want, and your heart will give it gladly. So will the universe.
