In order to understand why this distinction - between wishing something or being interested in it, and truly wanting or aspiring to it - is important, it’s necessary to recognize an essential truth about human beings: we only do those things we want to do more than any other option available to us. Before you start disagreeing ("I do want to do it, I just."), let me make a distinction: you might wish you were doing it (in the case of having a different job) or feel a mild interest in doing it (in the case of learning French), but you don't aspire to do them so much that you're willing to do what it takes to achieve them. However, I propose to you that the reason you haven't done them is that you don't really want to do them. And I suspect that the reasons you've given yourself for why you haven't made effort toward these things center around excuses ("I don't have time," "my boss would get mad if he found out") or self-flagellation ("I'm just lazy," "I don't have any discipline"). I suspect you might also have things in your life that you've been telling yourself and other people, perhaps for years, that you want to learn, or do.and haven't yet done or learned. No new job yet.in fact, no real effort to do a job search.
