Desire Beyond Yourself

"Whatever you desire to have for yourself, find a way to give
it to others. That is how you will surely attain what you
are truly seeking.

Look carefully at your desires, and the desires behind the
desires, and they will tell you much about who you are. Just
as importantly, they will show you the unique and valuable
gifts you can give to life.

When you approach your desires from a purely selfish point
of view, you will always be frustrated and disappointed.
Instead, take a step back and see those desires in a more
powerful and generous light.

Consider your desires in terms of how they can inspire you
to give value to your world. Then, instead of frustration,
those desires will be leading you toward success and
fulfillment.

Your deepest desires are intensely personal. And yet the
best way to express and fulfill them is by bringing their
value to as many other people as possible.

Desire can push you powerfully forward. When it does, look
beyond yourself and let it take you someplace truly great."

Ralph Marston
