Why We Always Desire Something We Don’t need?

The more things — money, status, houses, jewelry and so on — we see other people with, the more we want what they possess.

So we are constantly imagining ourselves having all sorts of things. And frequently we set out to get them for ourselves.

Some of the things we desire are harmful to our minds. Unfortunately, if we have too much toxic junk (beliefs and values) in our minds, we’re unable to differentiate between toxicity and benefits.

This causes us to believe our toxic desires are actually enlightened ones.

Nevertheless, we are ruled by our desires. They dictate what we feel and think about ourselves. And, in most instances, they seem to exist independently of us.

It’s important for us to remember that Powers of Mind is our unconditioned consciousness and intuitive awareness.

It’s the awareness of what we have limited ourselves to believe.

Keep in mind that money in not bad. It is vital and the more we have, the free we are from the needs of the system.

Until we are not. That’s when the danger comes. Be conscious about what is desired by the body and what is higher than short-term satisfactions.

Be mindful about your priorities and what is going to really benefit us. There is a big different between that and what’s only going to ground us in debts at a long-term perspective.

It’s vital to be consistently redefining your position in the society and what are your actions and beliefs manifesting in the now moment.

When we gather enough information about the bigger picture, we can then start acting on focused points to change what no longer benefit our needs.

Thanks For Reading ❤
