Desires Can Rule You Or You Can Maintain Control

Do my desires rule my life?

I cannot seem to get these things out of my head. Perhaps that is for good reason. Perhaps you need to achieve them or put them in their rightful place, and then move on. Perhaps you need to use this as a spur for action. Don't let you put yourself off.

I want this so much it holds me back. Stuck, eh? Put one foot in front of the other and put your effort in. Break it down to small manageable steps and move off. You can do it.

Do I deserve this? Why should you not? Many people have gone before you and many will follow on after. Why not you? Don't let you talk (or anyone else either) talk you out of doing something. Look at your self respect, esteem and image. Perhaps it needs some attention. But the simple answer is - you deserve it. But you have to put the effort in to demonstrate it. Seldom do things fall into our laps, and if they do what do they really mean to us anyway?

Should I pray for what I want? Sure you can. If you feel it do it. (Not all prayers are answered for lots of reasons - but that is another story . . .)

I have wishes is that the same thing? Wishes v desires? I wish for something - is that the same as really wanting something and doing what it takes to getting it? You decide.

I feel hungry but not motivated. Are you getting confused here? Hunger can stir you. A need can enthuse you. Use this feeling, this urge to move you on - and that is all that motivation really is. It can be different for us at different times and for different reasons. Go with what you have.

Everyone else seems to get what they want, but not me. You need to use this to motivate yourself. What do they do to achieve what they get? A sacrifice of time or effort is normally involved. But you may not see that, though you know it must exist. All you perhaps see is the achievement. But that has not happened out of the blue. And the same can happen for you - put the time and action in and you can move on yourself.

What can I do to make things better? Ah, a big one. Look around. See and feel. Assess and appreciate. Reflect. See where you are at and go with your flow.

Should I look at the bigger picture? Not a bad thing to do. Try to contribute and give as well as receive and take, and you will be more a part of the bigger picture than you are right now.

If they are right will they not fall into my lap? My destiny? We have heard of the examples - all the greats have had disappointments, hurdles, obstacles, to overcome. They carried on when those around said no or disbelieved. You can do the same. Just do not quit and you will achieve.

Desires. Whatever you are going for - do not expect it to always come easy. The effort can help decide what you achieve but also whether this 'x' is really what you want or need.

Find your flow in life and go with that. Be in sync with yourself and you will seldom go far wrong.

Trust yourself and off you go.
