What do we desire and how do we get there? And I know you might be thinking is desire really something that we should be concerned about when it comes to our life. The answer is absolutely YES. Desire is important because it gives us inspiration and energy. Desire motivates us and without it, life as we know it would cease to exist.
Desire is the reason behind everything we do. If we don’t desire something, then why even bother to worry about it? There are five specific reasons that desire is so important. One of them, purpose, I talked about last week but here are four others to think about.
Desire provides the motivation that you need to pursue your goals and overcome obstacles. Without motivation, we wouldn’t keep going when times get tough. Let’s also talk about how clarity factors into your desire. When you have a desire for something, it helps if you clarify your goals and priorities. You can focus and not allow distractions to get in the way of your goal.
What about passion? Is passion the same as desire? In my mind, when you have a strong desire, it ignites a passion in you that will inspire others. This can also help to create a positive impact in the world. The final reason that desire is so important is that it leads to satisfaction and fulfillment in your life. This is so extremely important because it allows you to live life on your own terms and achieve what matters most to you!
One of my favorite articles about desire was written by Natalie Parker. She says “It all starts with desire. A desire for more, a desire for purpose, a desire to live and abundant life. A desire to be great and significant. A desire to do what you were born to do. A desire to do that thing that you can’t stop thinking about.” Desire is where it all starts!
