Waking Up Desire

"Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything"...(Napoleon Hill). How can you possibly appreciate the magic of desire occurring in life if you have not gone through the motions of complacency and stagnation. When unexpected desire occurs, it wakes you up to the wonder of life beyond routines, roles and responsibilities. Desire is an emotion rooted in the soul and is the souls way of connecting to the deeper meaning in life. When you have a desire for something, someone or to reach some goal, it is the flame of the soul lighting the way. It drives and attracts the individual toward what is desires. It is like a magnetic pull that propels one toward their destiny. Once desire is ignited, the person's internal remote can lower the flame out of fear or heighten the flame out of curiosity and will but the flame can never be denied, even if one chooses to resist the calling. On your journey, you may recall when desire was ignited in your soul. One client always had a desire to sing. She could have resisted the desire and attempted to squash the desire, but the more she tried to deny her feelings, the more dead she felt inside. Finally, she fanned the flames and allowed herself to reach for her desired goal. She took singing lessons, sang at local clubs and taught music at a youth center. It meant hard work, sacrifice and upsetting her husband, but she did it anyway. As she worked toward her goal, she came back to life and eventually her husband supported her decision. When desire is present it pushes the individual forward. Here are some great quotes about desire. "The waves of desire in the world-ocean are intoxicating wine"....(Sri Guru Granth Sahib). "Desire is a powerful force that can be used to make things happen"...(Marcia Wieder). "The first principle of success is desire - knowing what you want. Desire is the planting of your seed"...(Robert Collier). "Desire is the very essence of man"...(Benedict Spinoza). "Those who restrain Desire, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained"...(William Blake). Desire in relationships draw the individuals toward each other. When two people desire each other the intensity is twofold, magnifying their soul connection. Even when groups of people desire to collaborate, they are unfolding the power of their destiny to accomplish a goal together. An example of this is when musicians worked together to create the song "We Are The World." When people ignite their desire, whether individually or together, the energy is magnified and intense attracting whomever and whatever is needed to accomplish their goal. Desire and love are especially powerful when they are combined and can propel you toward the future of your dreams. So let yourself desire and watch in awe as it works it's magic in your life.
