The Importance of Desire

This is something most people don't realize. They go through life looking at things they want, or wishing they had that “perfect job”, or looking at someone else, wishing they could be like them. But then they forget about what they saw and carry on with their lives. They never come to understand one of the most important parts of the Law of Attraction. Desire.

People usually see desire as something bad, mostly thanks to what we've been taught in religion. But there is a massive difference between coveting something that belongs to someone else and desiring something for yourself.

When I say desire, I don't mean that fleeting feeling you have when you see the new car Mercedes Benz just released, or if you're a woman, those new shoes they have at the store. I mean true, overpowering desire. Wanting something so badly, that you'll almost do anything to get it. When it gives you sleepless nights thinking about how you can get it, or you find yourself daydreaming about it all the time. That's true desire.

The moment you create desire for something, you immediately start putting the Law of Attraction into motion. And the longer you hold onto that desire, the greater the chances are for you to achieve or receive what you desire.

Now, I'm not saying you should start desiring your next-door neighbour's wife or their car, or job! That would definitely cause others harm if your desire is strong enough, since the Law of Attraction is unbiased.

However, when your desire is simply for something similar to what someone else has, or something completely unrelated, where's the harm in that? Seeing a new car and desiring one like it, or desiring a promotion at your workplace, or a simple desire for wealth, health or love, these are all things that you can put into motion without harming others.

The important thing you need to understand, is that without desire, you can't achieve anything. If you don't desire an improvement to your current circumstances, you simply won't get it. So start thinking about what you want in life. Which part of your life aren't you satisfied with? If you're like me, you'll probably have so many things you want to change that you won't know where to begin. Start small. Think of something insignificant that would improve your quality of life, something you can't do or have right now. Think about it and start creating a desire for it. Once you begin to see the Law of Attraction work, you'll gain confidence to desire greater things.

How does one create desire? Pictures. When you read the word “car”, you don't see the word in your mind, you see a car. It might have plenty of detail, or it might just be a vague picture, but we as humans think in pictures. So when you want to create desire for something, get as many pictures of it in your mind as you can. If you can get physical pictures to look at, all the better. But if you can't, simply picture it in your mind. The more you can do this, the stronger your desire will become. When you can imagine something so vividly that you can almost touch it, your desire will be at its strongest.

Also, give it time. Don't desire something for a day or even a week and when nothing happens, you give up. You need to stick with that burning desire until it is made reality. And who knows, if you stopped desiring, you might have received what you desired the very next day! Some say you need to focus on one thing for 21 days before it will become a part of you. You won't necessarily have what you desire within 21 days, but once you've desired something for as long as that, it's safe to say that your desire won't be leaving any time soon.

Start right now. Make a change for the better by creating a desire that will improve some part of your life. What do you have to lose?
