Do you want to feel safe?
Do you want nice things?
Do you want to love, to be loved?
Do you want your own home?
Do you want a family?
Do you want friends who care?
Do you want dreams that you can realistically achieve?
Do you want to be warm somewhere?
Do you want the dishes to always be done and put away?
Do you want to have inside jokes, do you want the feeling of inclusion?
Do you want to be part of something bigger than yourself?
Do you want your bed to be made when you come home?
Do you want to fall into it, immediately into a restful and dreamless slumber?
Do you want to wake up and be grateful for what you have?
Do you want to never have to worry about money?
Do you want to be comfortable in every social interaction?
Do you want people to know your name?
Do you want people to understand you?
Do you want to convey your ideas to people in meaningful and easily comprehensible ways?
Do you want a good education, a good career?
Do you want to belong to something?
Do you want to never have to want for affection or attention?
Do you want to look in the mirror and feel satisfied with what you see?
Do you want to know there will always be someone who is happy to see you?
Do you want to call your parents and hear them say they are proud of you?
Do you want to go to the doctor and find out that you're perfectly healthy?
Do you want to live a long, fulfilling life?
Do you want to die with no regrets?
Do you want to look back fondly?
Do you want to leave something memorable behind?
Do you want to leave the world a better place than it was when you were born?
And finally, before you go, let me ask you this:
Do you know where to start?
