I was presented with the above question by someone wondering if there is a difference between where you supposed to be versus where you need to be, and how it relates to wishing and praying for something that is not materializing in life, and trying to accept this truth.

Let me first discuss my views on “supposed” versus “need” to be. One could argue that they mean pretty much the same thing, however words have energy and this energy creates your reality. Let me deviate for a moment and give you Webster’s definitions of these two words:

• Need – A lack of something necessary or desirable
• Supposed – Regarded as true, real, or genuine

When I hear the word “need” used in the above question, it feels like I’m sentencing myself to a place because of my actions. I have placed myself on punishment and I will not move from this space until I have learned my life lesson. This feels so wrong to me.
The word “supposed” states the obvious. You are where you are! Where else would you be but where you are supposed to be? There’s more I can say on this subject which focus on how most people either live in the past or future, but I’ll save that for later.

When it comes to wishing for something I would simply say stop wishing or beseeching what you want and just start being grateful that you already have it. When you place your energy into wishing and hoping for something you want, you will continue to create more opportunities to wish and hope. Affirm that what you seek you already have, then give the universe time to catch up with you.
