Why we always want to get rid of desires? Because they seem to be the cause of our worries!
But is it really so?
No!!
Desires are not caused by our worries or unhappiness. Desires are the way to go ahead, they inspire us, they motivate us, and they keep us going when we feel low. Our desires are the way of the universe to tell us which direction we need to go ahead, they lead us towards our purpose of being on this earth. Don’t quench, crush or suppress them!
Let’s say you have a desire to own a beautiful house with a big garden, a beautiful sunrise view, lots of greenery etc etc. It’s a beautiful desire, it will help you to move ahead and do something, take actions and earn more so that you can fulfil your desire. The process of achievement and living your dreams will help you to grow financially, spiritually and evolve you into a better being.
But the problem arises when we attach our desires with expectations. Then, they kill us. Because when we do not meet our expectations we crumble down, we feel bad as if the whole world is working against us. But then what is the solution?
The solution lies right in front of us. If you can work on expectations, that is the ultimate solution. But in the meantime, this solution will work for you. Once you have a desire, forget the desire. What?!!!
With this I mean, just leave this desire in your subconscious mind, use it in your affirmations but do not wait for it to happen. Don’t get panic but trust it will happen.
Forget the end goal but remember the steps you have to take to reach there. Let the universe choose the path for you. Allow yourself to flow in time and space and hence, allowing the universe to take you towards your desires. Just be the instrument in hands of universe and let it work through you. Just like we let the universe work through us and the mother delivers the baby. We do not interfere in its work but just follow the process and ensures that we do all the right things and create right environment for the fetus to develop into a beautiful human being. That is called ‘Trust in God’ in common language, however, we tend to forget it in our daily lives.
But how to do it practically?
Here are little steps to follow:
- Do not set your desire with timelines.
- Instead, Set the goals focusing on the steps which are required to achieve your desire.
- Allow everything in your life to work towards that desire.
- Leave the desire, forget about it, do not keep thinking about it, and do not keep worrying about it.
Sounds strange?!
But this approach works because you get results in life depending upon where you direct your focus and energies. Direct your energies on actions required to reach the desired goal and you will reach there without fail. Instead of just keep thinking and worrying about how to reach there, focus on the plan and start the journey.
Let’s understand this with an example. If we have to prepare a dish we do not focus on the end dish but its ingredients and the right process. We focus on purchasing the right ingredients and learning the process. We do not worry about the end dish if it will be prepared or not. We know if the ingredients and process are right, tasty delicious dish is bound to get prepared. There is no other outcome of it.
So dig deep into your desires, do not get afraid of them. Use them to direct your life towards your purpose. Learn to use them like every other tool you learn and use. It’s totally up to you if you can make good use of it or waste the resource.
Desires are your best friends. They will hurt you when you are on the wrong path and they will raise you higher when you are on the right path. Trust the process and you will be there!
