DESIRES

DESIRES !!! 

When you say the word desires, most of the people perceive it as a negative quality.Many spiritual aspirants in this world will encourage everyone to live a simple life.

I have a serious problem with the word "simple" as it changes every now and then.It changes according to your needs,wants,income and interest.

For a person who is earning $ 50 permonth, living "simple" life simply means a roof on top of his head ,a place for shelter and minimum food to survive.But for a person who is earning $ 5 million a month,its no longer living 'Simple' but its more of 'living life' 

So what's the difference between both this people ? Is it their 'desires' ? or their 'Life GOALS' ? or its just "LUCK" ??? Based on my opinion, one the underlying principle which influences every individuals life is their "DESIRES"

For me, its a 'holistic' word.Its either you don't have desires at all and live the 'basic' life which caters the basic need or not, each and every individual in this world SHOULD HAVE THICK FAT DESIRES to live a life of ABUNDANCE.
ABUNDANCE of LOVE, HAPPINESS,HEALTH & WEALTH.

Most of the time, 80% of the population in the world live in a 'grey' area where they justify their future based on their current scenario.For an example, if they are earning $ 50 permonth, their desires will be around their 'current' income which they are getting.So indirectly,these individuals put a limit to their creative thinking because of their current scenario.They don't have big desires, they have doubt and fear in them.They always choose to settle as a mediocre.My argument is it should be either here or there.Either you choose to live a simple life with basic needs,without any goals in life or you must have BIG GOAL & DESIRE in life.There should not be anyone in this so called 'grey' area which is living in your own limitation of thoughts.

There are wonderful examples in this world, who made it really big and contribute even bigger in their lives.A few of them which inspired me personally are Sir Richard Branson, Napolean Hills,Joe Vitale,John Assarif, Vishen Lakiani and many more.All these people are created by the same source that created you and me but how is it that they have achieved so much that we haven't yet.Based on my opinion, all these people believed in what they do, they had high goals which completely blows their mind of and keeps them 'exited' and they know that by achieving their goals,they will definitely touch million peoples life out there.So basically all these people had thick fat desires and all their desires are tied with the element of giving back to society.Napolean hills said in his 'Think & Grow rich' book that there is no 'Something for nothing'.So coming back to us, why can't we have thick fat desires, I mean whats wrong in it, if it benefits the society? Nothing is impossible until you put a limit to it in your mind.Some says sky is the limit but for me even sky is some form of limitation. So no matter in what, its YOU who decides the limitation in your mind.

A simple example that I can give is, assuming that you are earning a very basic income, for example $ 500 per month which is enough for you to survive.At this point of time, nothing will come to your mind accept the worries of facing difficulties of meeting your end to end needs.So when you worry, that's basically an 'emotions' tied up to your thought.So when you have these emotions tied to your though, obviously that's what you will attract.More difficulties, more 'budget' problem and etc.Vishen Lakiani from Mind Valley said in one of his talks that, when you have a problem, you need to have a HIGHER VISION which makes your current problem completely obsolete.So in this case of the person of earning $500, he/she has an option to shift his/her thinking to a bigger purpose or goals in life such as having a goal of earning $ 5000 permonth, visualising the lifestyle that he will experience if he is in that position and of course a goal with a 'giving back' element where this person can decide to give $ 1000 for charity or the needy.All the above is just an example that I can think off, but the main point here is you can make the changes in your life by just switching the way you think.You can only switch your thought from the current scenario,IF you have another though which excites you and the DESIRE element play an important part here.

Think of a position that you can touch millions of heart.
Think of a position of which you can act without any inspiration from outside as all the inspiration comes from within you.
Think of a position which you love doing day in and out without getting tired.
Think of a position which you will never complain.

YOUR ONLY LIMITATION IS YOUR OWN MIND

We have to think BIG, visualize our dreams as if its 'real' and feel it.
Eventually it will materialize, according to the timing of the divine providence

I guess its nothing wrong having thick fat desires but ALWAYS back it up with HOW YOU CAN BENEFIT THE SOCIETY with it.

So in summary :

THINK BIG AND CONTRIBUTE EVEN BIGGER !!!
