Bring Your Desire to Life

As Halloween harkens the beginning of the holiday season, there are so many people pushing products to help set goals and get ready for next year. Most of the goal setting is focused on what the person desires to happen in life. That led me to think about how our future is wide open and that's why it’s important to know what we want.

The definition of desire is, "a strong feeling of wanting to have something or wishing for something to happen."* And, while identifying a desire is key, it is also important to enjoy ourselves every day as in this quote in Today's Daily Wisdom:

"With practice, we can train ourselves to consistently be present, delighting in our unique, transient, and priceless experience." **

If you already have a desire, whether a chance to travel, a career move, a new place to live or to retire, the key is to identify it.
