Many
people wonder where their desires
come from. Are they God's
desires? Individual desires? The
truth is, even when we don't know
where it is that they originate,
the fact is, we have them. They
can't be ignored. The challenge
most people face is, they are
afraid to act upon their innate
desires because of beliefs they
have accumulated through out the
years.
If we
look at each individual, we
notice that everyone is drawn to
so many different things. From
the simplest to the more complex.
Some love medicine while others
enjoy gardening. Some love
science while others love
spirituality. Some love to fly
while others prefer to drive.
Some create great music while
others are business geniuses, and
the list grows endless.
There is
so much diversity, yet, we must
realize that the key to a more
balance existence is by allowing
each of us to honor our true
desires. But the question still
remain, why do we have desires
and where do they come from? My
theory is, we have desire so that
we can continue our growth.
Because if we are not growing,
our lives would be very boring.
And where do they come from? I
suggest that they don't come from
us but from a source far much
greater than we.
I know it
sounds like a contradiction to
freewill. Because if we do not
choose them, then where is our
freewill to choose our destiny?
Honestly, I don't know much about
who or what chooses our desires.
However, somebody once wrote,
"At the same time
that we are the creators, writers
and protagonist of our own movie,
at that very same time, we play
extra on a much bigger
play."
How about
if our desires are the script
given to our souls for us to
execute here on earth, while our
freewill gives us the choice to
either follow our script or
choose another one? That being
the case, makes perfect sense
that we can choose whatever
script we want. However, in my
opinion, there is a catch.
Following our own script may lead
us to chaos, struggle,
unnecessary challenges and pain,
while following the script
assigned to us by our souls leads
us to happiness, joy,
fulfillment, prosperity and
wisdom.
In other
words, does it matter who's
script it is as long as we
experience complete ecstasy in
our lives? Think about it. So
really, it is not whether we
should follow our innate desires,
but to ensure that our desires
are not ego based. How can we
differentiated? Simple. If a
desire, while exciting as it may
be, brings us peace and harmony,
it is definitely spirit based
desire. If on the other hand
there is a sense of urgency, fear
or impulse to it, it probably
comes from ego.
The main
premise is to understand that we
came here to live a life filled
with love, peace, health,
happiness, fun, fulfillment,
wisdom and prosperity. Our
desires help as a guidance system
for us to maneuver throughout the
world in such manner that we can
experience all of the things we
truly want.
And we
experience those things we desire
by growing and expanding. And the
only way we can grow and expand
is by having new desires. See how
this is a never ending cycle? So
for us to continue feeling
motivated to expand is by having
new and bigger desires. And just
so you know, I am not talking
about acquiring more things. For
all you know, your desire may be
to give up all your possessions
and spend the rest of your life
traveling and serving people
while it can also be having a
huge mansion and all kinds of fun
things to play with.
I can
guarantee that Mother Theresa was
the happiest woman on the faith
of this earth by living a simple
life dedicated to service and
prayer while Sting is very happy
and fulfilled creating music
which generate millions and
millions of dollars for him to
enjoy.
A
wonderful minister by the name of
Bob Marshall once said;
"Put your focus and
energy on the things you want to
create in your life. If what
which you desire does not fall in
what would be considered God's
plan for you, not to be concerned
because what will happen is, all
that energy will be redirected
toward something far much better
that will fit the bigger
plan."
Let's
look at it this way, if you want
a house on the beach, God has a
mansion for you on a mountaintop
overlooking the ocean. Just honor
your feelings and desires and all
of your dreams MUST come
true!
