in my practice, below are the definitions i use with patients regarding a "want" versus a "need."

"want" – a preference, something desired but not essential to one's saftey or sense of well-being, optional, additive, negotiable.

"need" – essential to one's saftey (i.e., physical, psychological, emotional) or sense of well-being, non-negotiable, a fixed requirement, the maintenance of is critical.

clearly, based on the above definitions, there is a stringent difference between the two – which is not to rule out obtaining what one wants provided one's needs are met first and/or not at the detriment of another.

sentry, an excellent "decision making" methodology which could be applied to just about anything.

thank you spending the time and mental effort on these 14 questions...
