Desire Is the starting point of Archievement

Blessing morning to you all steemians, it's your favorite boy @Ayoflash Ringing a bell of motivation to you all this morning.

What is Desire? The natural longing to poses any seeming good; eager wish to obtain or enjoy, or in its abnormal or degenerate sense: excessive or morbid longing; lust; appetite. Desire is a much abused term – the public mind has largely identified it with its abnormal or degenerate phase, just mentioned, ignoring its original and true sense. Many use the word in the sense of an unworthy longing or craving, instead of in the true sense of aspiration, worthy craving and longing,etc. To call Desire aspiration renders it none the less Desire. To apply to it the term laudable aim and ambition does not take away from it is character of Desire. There is no sense in endeavoring to escape the fact that Desire is the natural and universal impulse toward action, be the action or good or bad. Without Desire the Will does not spring into action, and nothing is accomplished. Even the highest attainments and aims of the race are possible only when the steam of Will is aroused by the flame and heat of Desire.

Some of the occult teachings are filled with instructions to kill out desire, and the student is warned to beware of it even in its most insidious and subtle forms, even to the extent of avoiding even the desire to be desireless – even desire not to desire. Now this is all nonsense, for if one wishes, or wants, or is inclined, or thinks best to, or is pleased to Kill Out Desire
