Does the satisfaction gained from our desires lead to happiness? Is satisfaction worth the energy given to our desire? In my opinion, no, absolutely not, in fact the opposite is true!!!!
-
Maybe some of our desires bring loss, resentment and low self-image with the constant need for satisfaction. Do we set our sites on a lofty carreer, status, possessions, power, family and titles?
-
All those desires bring a great responsibility to protect from loss while they are impermanent desires. If we lose a job, a house, a mate or power , resentment and depression visit us.
-
Approval or avoidance of disapproval guides most of our lives. We can see that our happiness is handed off for others to control. Let go of the desire for approval from others and accept yourself as perfect.
-
My healing solidified when approval did not matter anymore. Freedom had arrived. Happiness is possible when all those desires were let go.
