The ONE Principle that Controls your Entire Life

And its not what you think...

You have been taught many things.

You were taught how to study, how to compete, how to succeed.

You were taught to manage your time, your finances, your responsibilities.

But you were never taught how to understand and manage the one force that drives all of it — DESIRE.

Every thought and action you have ever manifested began there.

Before the body moves or a word is spoken, the Mind must desire to do so.

Behind every achievement and every failure is a direction of desire.

And yet no one ever explained to you what desire — actually is.

It is not something to suppress like the Buddhists practice, because in order to suppress or stop desiring, one must desire to do so.

Desire is also not solely a physical expression between a man and a woman.

Desire is an eternal Mind-quality.

It is the sole motivator of the body and the initiating impulse of all motion.

Without desire, your body would not move. You would not rise in the morning. You would not build, pursue, speak, create, or pray.

To pray is to desire something enough to ask for it — from a divine source.

Desire is the cornerstone of prayer.

Desire as a PRINCIPLE is UNDIVIDED and eternal, its a unity.

Its expression is a polarity — or two seemingly opposed desires.

It can move toward the unfolding of our latent Mental — Spiritual — QUALITIES.

Or it can move toward the gratification of the senses and body needs.

Both are a necessity.

Desire is like a rope.

Through action, we pull our dreams out of the eternal world of imagination into fruition in the material world.

Every desire that aligns with one’s true purpose becomes a single strand in that rope.

One strand alone is weak.

But strand upon strand, woven together in the same direction, creates strength.

Say you wish to build a strong body.

Desire to eat healthy, exercise and rest (physical desires) must be combined with spiritual/mental ones, perseverance, patience, and the desire to multiply your WILLPOWER.

The more unified the strands, and the more your desires harmonize, the more powerful the rope.

But a life composed of opposing desires — unbalanced, conflicting, divided — is like a frayed rope.

One strand pulls toward discipline.

Another pulls toward sloth.

One pulls toward health.

Another toward Doritos.

The rope weakens.

Eventually, it breaks.

When that happens, people say they “lost motivation.”

They didn’t lose motivation.

They lost unity, they lost balance and stumbled.

I once knew a man who wanted mastery and comfort with equal intensity.

He was not lazy. In fact, he was disciplined — in bursts.

He would wake early, train hard, study deeply.

And then another, unbalanced desire would surface.

He wasn’t lacking desire.

He was dividing it too much.

Every year he set new goals. Every year he began again. Every year the rope frayed a little more.

Until one day he said, “I just don’t have the drive I used to.”

But the drive was still there.

It had simply been pulling in two directions.

When he finally chose one direction — not perfectly, but consistently — something changed.

The rope began to strengthen again.

His actions began to compound instead of canceling one another out.

Momentum multiplied as his self-created laziness subsided.

That is when I understood something simple.

Desire is not the problem.

It is the direction in which you project it.

Your daily portion of Desire is like a pile of gunpowder. It can be ignited and blown chaotically into all directions, or it can be packaged and funneled through the barrel of the gun of purposeful action so it can hit its target.

Desire is like water. A river with many branches is like a mind with many divided and unbalanced desires, but if one were to combine all of those branches into a single artery, the torrent of that mighty Unity would carve through a mountain.

When aligned with PURPOSE, strand upon strand, our Desire becomes strong enough to pull something eternal into the world.

The true art of life is learning what to desire, and how to balance one’s desires so one may bring one’s dreams to fruition.
