Inspiring Change Every Day with Grace
Desire was never designed to be hijacked, but it has become the order of the day in this dispensation. What used to move us toward meaningful goals now gets redirected toward instant stimulation.
Desire does not grow in isolation. It is deeply influenced by your state. Your body, your emotions, inter - alia, and your environment play important roles in your desires.
Desire begins innocently. It attracts and stirs curiosity. You see something, feel something, imagine something and a spark is born. Desire, in its healthy form, is a creative force that moves you toward growth, connection, ambition, or intimacy.
Desire is not the villain we often make it out to be. It is raw human energy that is deeply revealing. What we long for usually points to something meaningful inside us: connection, affirmation, purpose, pleasure, rest.
Desire matures the same way people do by moving from intensity to depth. Desire does not disappear in long-term love, it changes shape. Early desire is often like a spark that demands attention.
Have you met that person yet? The one with whom conversations flow effortlessly. Their presence lights something up in you. You think about them more than you intend to. They give you a certain electric feeling that almost alters the air around you.
Many of our strongest desires rise from the shadow self: the parts of us we learned to hide, silence, or disown because they felt unsafe, unacceptable, or inconvenient. Desire becomes the language those parts use when they finally want to be seen.
Desire is not primarily about what we want from others, but about what we have not yet learned to give ourselves. When we understand it, desire becomes instructive, even empowering.
Desire often arises from an emotional gap. Yet, it disguises itself as attraction, ambition, craving, or curiosity. We think we want a person, a feeling, a lifestyle, a purchase, or a future, but very often, desire is just a hidden emotional signal.
Desire is often the spark that brings two people together. It’s the quickening of the heart, the pull toward someone, the curiosity that says, I want to know more.
