Desire | Understand, Persue, Follow | Live The Dream

What do you desire the most?
Not like, not interest, not attraction. Your DESIRE. Yes, desire in life, what is it?
Let’s dive into this subject, a bit deeper today..

Desire” is the emotion of longing or hoping for a person, object, or outcome. The same sense is expressed by words such as “craving”. When a person desires something or someone, their sense of longing is excited by the enjoyment or the thought of the item or person, and they want to take actions to obtain their goal.

There’s no waste to life if you’re happy living it. Your happiness is the root of your desires. So take a few moments and really think about what makes you happy. Is it traveling? Being around children? Owning a successful business? Your significant other? Financial freedom? Once you pinpoint the one thing (Oh wait, there can be many) that makes you happy the most, you’ll have a pretty clear idea of what you should strive for in your life.

For example, when i see the trading community around, i notice this –

“Most traders are motivated by trading and making
money, not by a desire to understand themselves and markets.”

Let’s connect on the social account you’re inn (Just a tap) –

Sometimes (Most of the times) you may feel it is out of reach. Well, think through.

You may think that what you desire is impossible or only a dream, or that you don’t deserve what you desire. Or, your answer could be to live in good health, or to have a partner to share your life with, or to have financial independence. You may want your children to be happy and healthy. But consider this for a moment: if you had those things, what would that naturally bring you? Would it make you happy? Would you be content? The answer is ‘yes’ it would – for a short while. Ultimately we all want unending contentment; unbroken peace, love and joy.

Here are few things you need to DITCH to create the life that you truly desire.

Scarcity Mindset –


We as a whole have episodes of this. On intense days, it’s anything but difficult to fall into an inane example of harping on what we don’t have. We feed that shortage attitude and let it become fat, fixed and stationary. We continue letting ourselves know of the apparent multitude of things we need without understanding that we have such a great amount to be thankful for right now.

Play it safe attitude

Being risk-averse and careful could mean you’re in a safe zone but it could also mean you are knee-deep in stagnation because you can’t bring yourself to go any further for fear of the unknown.

Unnecessary Competition


It’s about advancing towards a complex situation not through aggression but by keeping yourself centered and grounded.

Here are few things you need to ADOPT to create the life that you truly desire.

Come to peace with the way things are.


“If only I had more money, I’d…”

Or, “If I had more time, I’d…”

How many times do you hear people say these daily? Many times, I bet.

People are so obsessed with what they don’t have that they never allow themselves to be satisfied with what they do have in life. Constantly having a mindset of wanting more and more will squash any chances you have of acceptance.

Punch fear in the face and get to living.


Fear is a natural part of our lives. Conquering fear starts in our heads and the mindset that we approach fear with. Experiencing failure provides value when it comes to living a fulfilling life and being the best version of yourself.

Challenge yourself to become a social butterfly.


Make an effort to connect with more people, smile, and maintain eye contact a little longer than normal. This forces you to become more open to the world, leading to greater connections.

When meeting new people, choose people from all different backgrounds and beliefs. This allows you to become a more well-rounded individual.
(It can be difficult for some, i understand. But hey, that’s the fun and challenge)

The energy called desire has been condemned for centuries. Almost all the so-called saints have been against it, because desire is life and they were all life-negative. Desire is the very source of all that you see, and they were against all that which is visible.

Individuals, when they are baffled with common wants, begin changing the article: they begin making extraordinary objects of want – paradise, heaven, and all the delights of paradise. In any case, it is a similar stunt, the psyche is again befooling you. This isn’t the method of the smart individual, this is the method of the dumb.

So go out there and get the things you desire. (P.S. – Those may be varying from time to time, and that’s okay, as long as you’ve analyzed the situation well.)

Until Next time..

    Wow, this was something amazing. Specifically, the know it all attitude. Many lose their success just because they think they know it all. It’s better to learn from your mistakes and learn new things as well.
