Needs vs Preferences

There is a difference between preference and need.If you use the word "need" a lot you may find that it is useful to change the word to prefer.When we use the word need we begin to hypnotize ourselves into believing that our needs are not being met. This can trigger us into a form of survival mode or a victim position that can deeply effect our perceptions and interpretations of life. In that state, we are not wholly grounded in ourselves and can behave and communicate in ways that are out of balance, hurtful, distancing, or controlling.In fact, nearly all of the people reading this blog have their needs met.In fact, all of us can invent more preferences and then start to think that they are needs.The more we perceive and communicate with preferences the more gratitude and appreciation we can have for what we have while at the same time indicating how we would like it to be.It is so much nicer to be around people that have preferences rather than people who have needs. What do you prefer?
