Desire
- 8 Comments... What do you have to say?
True desire is what you want. Period.
No matter what it takes to have it…
No matter who tells you it’s not possible…
No matter what the odds are of you accomplishing it…
No matter how many times you get rejected going for it…
No matter how many failed attempts you’ve had while trying to pursue it…
No matter what society tells you to want instead….
No matter what your family thinks you should strive for…
No matter what your friends say is a better fit for you…
No matter what people think of you because you want it…
No matter how big, small, short or tall it is….
No matter how far it is from you now…
No matter how much time, effort, thought, money, frustration, self-discipline or persistence it will take to get there…
No matter how much it defies logic, reason and understanding…
You want it.
Once you’re aware of your desire, what can you can do with it? You can bury it with fear, put it up for judgment, ignore it, maybe put in on the shelf to deal with later one day.
OR
You can dare to dream. You can thrive in the realm of possibility. You can accept and acknowledge what you want and use the power within you to move towards it one simple step at a time or by leaps and bounds. You can find others that will support you in your efforts to connect with it.
You can even change what you desire into something different. Many times you think you want something on the surface, but what you really want is a part of it or something unique about it.
You can do many things with desire but you can’t destroy it. Why would you want to? It’s such a great part of being human.
So you can choose to go for what you want or you can deny it. But understand that when you deny your desire, you deny the truth. When you deny the truth, you’re out of alignment with positive growth and you end up causing yourself more suffering anyway with your frustration/tolerance/apathy towards what you don’t want.
Don’t turn your back on what you want.

Many people desire for something but few make to act on them. The number one hindrance is fear and lack of belief. We all have the capacity to achieve our dreams, we only need a change of attitude and a firm decision to achieve.
Hey Walter,
Yes fear is a big hindrance and I believe commitment is one of the biggest elements of personal growth.

If that’s what you truly want, keep going for it. Try not to let rejection get you frustrated and just keep putting your focus on what you want.

Yes, desire is like our life blood. It keeps us waking up each morning and when we are truly able to allow ourselves to line up with our desires we ca experience so much joy and freedom.
