It’s about 5 years back, a rosy winter morning and we colleagues were out for a coffee break . Enjoying the sun and talking about future . Lot of money, Big house, Super luxury cars, bungalow , farm house, vacation at dream palace, working in the home town, enjoying with family …. and many more .. lots of things were there in the desires list.

And one colleague expressed his wish for money. He was working for money and wishing that If he gets 25 Lakh Rupees, he would leave the job and go back to his home town and open a small kirana shop for time pass.

Now , the same guy has much more than 25 Lakhs and he still want more. He wanted to go back to home town with Family, now  he is further away from home . He full filled his desire of Rs 25 Lakhs, but he developed desire for  more money.

Desires are endless. We fulfill one, we get five more . If we try to kill one, we get ten more.  Either fulfill or kill, it multiplies with every efforts.

So is it bad to have desires ?

No…it’s not bad to have desires ,but need to have control on it. Desires are like adamant kid. More you pay attention , more they demand. Its better to attend them occasionally, but do not ignore them.

Increasing desires creates restlessness, anxiety , depression . with fast running life, we want to achieve everything in one day. We have lot of desires to fulfill and no time to wait for them. Sometimes, we don’t even have time to enjoy whatever we achieve.

Today I was talking to one of my colleague . She is dull these days and feeling bored. Even she is little depressed. She has some desires, she want to fulfill all at one time, but that is not possible all the times.  So , what is point to keep desires burning , when there is no time to attend them ?  The best thing is to pick few most desired wishes, give quality time and enjoy them .  And when they are done, move to next.

Certain time, we are tied up with some restrictions, we can’t go out of a limit or we have some other duties to take care. Desires don’t consider these limits and keep on growing.  This develops more frustration and depression. This situation is more dangerous. We have limit to follow and desires are multiplying without limit .

Now since we can’t break boundaries, we should find ways to enjoy within them.  Do something different or do things differently. Control the desires and wait for opportunity. When we start enjoying , we find lot more ways to overcome boundaries and get lots of opportunity to attend our desires.

Sometimes, we get so busy with our wishes we starts getting into  silo and ignoring people around us.  And even we lose some opportunities of enjoying , running behind multiple wishes.

Best approach to win desires is control  them  and enjoy them …

Well … there are many desires ahead of me , and I’m also running behind them…  but yeah, I am able to prioritize them and now following some very high important things in my life and ready to compromise and sacrifices at other places. I hope , I will succeed and have more fun in life.
