To have a lasting marriage and lasting career only requires adding one word to your daily routine \u201cdesire\u201d. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You may say these days this generation\u2019s desire has increased 10 fold then previous generations. \u00a0\u00a0Look at all the stuff that has been accumulated and the need to want a better career, to want more equal opportunities, to want a better lifestyle. \u00a0If you look closer there are two words that are used quite interchangeably, they are the words, \u201cdesire\u201d and \u201cwant\u201d. These two words at first hearing them, seem to sound like they mean the same thing but digging deeper, each has a very different connotation that will impact the way you see yourself and life.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t pay attention and use the word \u201cwant\u201d in your daily routine \u00a0you set yourself up subconsciously to focus on something that is lacking in your life. \u00a0When you put an emphasis on something lacking in your life, it draws more of that to your life. \u00a0This wanting is only wishful thinking because wishful thinking mostly leads to frustrations and nothing to show for it.<\/p>\n

Having a \u201cdesire\u201d on the other hand is having a strong feeling attached to it that creates motivation, momentum and focuses on the presence of something or need to add on something. \u00a0It is the opposite of \u201cwant\u201d. Having a \u201cdesire\u201d and using it in your daily routine, will trigger your subconscious to attract more to your life, instead of seeing what is lacking\/missing in your life.<\/p>\n

Circling back, \u00a0you can now say that this generation\u2019s desire has not increased 10 fold but has actually decreased. \u00a0With a decrease in desire and an increase in want, we start to look outward for support and approval instead of inward. \u00a0Often times we feel a sense of emptiness and not being fulfilled no matter how much we get paid, how much equality we get and how much better our lifestyle becomes. This outward focusing of wants will always have you \u00a0feeling a lack of something. To begin to feel content, we must start to turn our wants into desires. Desires, makes us look inward and fuels creativity, pushes you out of your comfort zone and makes you attain the impossible. \u00a0When you are able to do that, you will begin to see life in a whole new way.\u00a0\u00a0You become more content with your spouse because you no longer see that the marriage is lacking something but you will want to bring more into the marriage. \u00a0With your career, you will not blame the boss or company for why you\u00a0are not promoted or getting paid more,\u00a0instead you will want to add more value to the job and company, by making yourself indispensable\u00a0so that\u00a0you can make an impact to the company, eventually the promotion will follow.<\/span><\/p>\n
