The Author's Corner: Arrows of Desire

What is desire? A simple question to most, however the word desire means only one thing and that is to want something. The items that one wants can vary from a new car to an ice-cold drink. Depending on what these desires are will show the thought process of the person. Are they quick to get what they want or do they take their time in deciding.

Over our lives there is the things that we want. It could be a relationship if you are single. It could be a better education into a new career path that you want to take. How you achieve you wants shows you character and how you go about reaching those desires.

Everyone wants to be in a better situation than they are in now. This means that everyone has a desire of a better tomorrow that what is in today. Over time, the path that leads us to that single desire may end before we reach it because we pass from this life. This is not what most would say is a positive where we did not reach our goal, the truth is that most people do not follow through to reach their goals or dreams or the desired life because they give up easily.

Most people have desires or wants and sit and complain about how the world is this and that without getting up to achieve or grasp that dream desire. That is the truth for today’s society. Individuals today do not get up to change their life and blame others because they themselves are afraid to move towards their goals/dreams/wants and desires. They find the negativity in life and follow that path. Fear is what they see and taking that step outside of the scope of their present life will cause some hurt feelings from those who are in their life.

It takes a change in how you see your life to begin to achieve those desires you have. The first thing is to set goals that are reachable that line up with you desired future. The second step is to move forward from where you are at today towards that first step, the first goal.

Once you achieve that goal, start towards the next step and in time you will have your desire.

Sounds simple and it is, you just have to have the motivation to do it. Trust me when I say this because once you get going it is hard to stop, and you will be able to reach your wildest dreams. That is what the motivation does, you get that one goal and the next thing is you are saying to yourself, ‘That was easy.’

That is the arrows of desire because they point us in the right direction in our life. That is why we have dreams, and it takes us to make them come true. Everyone can achieve greatness in their own way and when we get there, you will see your world open up to you like a book. Remember you are the main character in your own book, pick up the pen and write out your desires and go get them.

Stay safe.
