As the wise Eckhart Tolle says: Do things with one or more of these three things: acceptance, enjoyment or enthusiasm. Be awake in what you do. Replace wanting with enjoyment.
I also suggest replacing wanting with doing. Do a bit everyday towards your goals, enjoy the doing, and enthuse about the outcomes.
