Seek your desire, But keep your integrity.
Life rarely goes according to plan and desired things often fail to deliver the satisfaction we expect of them. Freedom isn't found by filling up on your desires, by removing your wishes, especially desires of grandeur. So approach the world with a grateful attitude. It is not wrong to be rich or famous, it merely is risky and irresponsible to base your happiness on achieving such goals.
Desire is a very powerful contract. We, humans, make contracts with others, but we do make contracts with ourselves. Hope is a contract you make with yourself to be unhappy until you get what you want. But desire is the source of unhappiness. Do your best not to have thousands of desires, and especially not to have unconscious ones. Pick one central desire of your life and let go of the rest.
Desire to maintain a positive self-concept. People sometimes lie to themselves or others out of a need to see themselves positively, people often experience more significant positive emotions when exaggerating their intelligence or skill to themselves or others. Liars driven by the desire to see themselves assuredly can forget that their dishonesty contributed to their success. Consequently, they may make misguided bets about their future.
For anyone to be successful, there must exist within them the desire to be great or at least better than their current state. Without this desire, there would be no motivation or cause for action. Simple wanting or wish will not produce results as it just wishful thinking. What is needed is a deep, burning desire for something that will bring results. For real success, desire is necessary as wishes will only result in frustration. Desire focuses on the presence of something or the addition of something, whereas wanting focuses on the lack of something whenever you focus on the lacking part, you attract more lack into your life subconsciously. When you focus on the desire, you are consumed by the feeling of having that thing in your life to the extent that you are already picturing what it would feel like to have it in your life. It is these desires that catapult you into action that brings results. Desire pushes you out of your comfort zone because when you desire something, you will not sit idly without doing everything possible to attain the object of your desire. This creates the attraction and brings into your life everything you desire.
Desire is the one stage that links thoughts and actions together: Thoughts -> Desire -> Action. Wanting something that is beyond your means is unattainable and can become too painful. We always work the hardest for the things we are most passionate about. Choose your destiny and invest yourself in those fields that most interest you.
