Purpose and desire...
Purpose and desire can seem similar but they are actually drastically different.
Purpose is important in many ways, it is the reason why you push as hard as you do. It is the reason why you impact others, and it’s the reason why you are who you are.
Purpose allows you feel connected to the universe through the contribution of your gift(s). Purpose gives you a reason to wake up every morning, producing a goal to work towards. Purpose gives you a sense of identity.
Desire is what you want while purpose is the flowering of who you are. Desire is a strong feeling of wanting something. It is that yearning that comes from deep inside of you. It is not that grasping external needy feeling. But that place within yourself that calls you deeper and to something greater.
Desire is personal, narrow-minded, self-gratifying, self-preserving whole purpose is wider reaching, it’s a long-term vision encompassing the benefit of others. Purpose has a way of taking life’s most unavoidable sufferings and making the meaningful.
Don’t seek out your desire, seek to fulfill your purpose.
Period.
