As you spend time in the Present Moment, are your desires making themselves known?
One of the benefits of being Mindful is an increasing awareness of one's desires.
Desires can be elusive notions that appear briefly and just as suddenly disappear. Minuscule yearnings, often ignored for years, are ripe with unrealized potential.
Mentioning the archaic word desire in this day and age seems slightly naughty or vaguely unwholesome.
In the past, paying attention to desire was seen as a necessary self-activity comparable to the self-activities of thinking, judging, and deciphering emotions.
We are going to resurrect the word "desire" from its shady twenty-first century reputation by christening it with a more historically accurate definition: inner knowing that has its origin deep inside our sense of self, makes the heart sing, and excites parts of the brain.
If you are able to capture your desires before they flit off to your unrealized-desires holding tank, you will be tantalized by their power and beauty.
Soon you will create something uniquely 100% You. Helpful hint - use your focus!
Next week - meet a man who followed his desire.
Thanks for exploring the mystery - Nicky Mendenhall
