Episode 19 | You Can't Have What You Can't Describe

Describe cotton candy to someone who has never seen, touched, or tasted it.
Not fluffy. Not sweet. Not spun sugar. Those are words. I'm asking you to make someone feel what it is to have cotton candy dissolve on their tongue for the first time.
You can't do it. Not really.
Now tell me what you want your life to look like.
Same problem.
We spend years reaching for things we've never actually stopped to define for ourselves. Love. Happiness. A relationship that works. A life that feels like ours. We use the words because everyone around us uses them. But if you can't feel it while you're describing it — if you can't put yourself inside it clearly enough to know what it actually tastes like to you specifically — you can't have it. You're just circling something you've never actually touched.
This episode is about getting specific enough about what you want that the wanting itself feels like something real. Not somebody else's definition handed to you. Yours. Built from your own experience of what feels good, what feels true, what feels like the life you actually want to be living.
You can't have what you can't describe.
Start with cotton candy. Work your way up from there.
