Strong Desires

It's just a strong desire

Life can be survived without it

Unsatisfied can feel like death

But still, be grateful

It is not a need

Nothing to cry about

Feels like something is missing

But what is desired no one can satisfy it

Still, be thankful

And try to stop thinking about it

Don't go crazy worrying about it

It's nothing more than a want

Learn how to manage the blessings that are already there

Don't seek out something that is not there

The heart will not be able to bear

Spare the heartbreak

Care for the heart, mind, and soul

Desires can have a stronghold

So, just be grateful and thankful

    I like how you say desires aren't needs. I've been there, wanting something so bad it felt like I couldn't breathe. But then I realized I had to focus on what I already had. How do you think we can better manage our desires and focus on the blessings around us? It's important to take care of our hearts, minds, and souls like you said. When we stop chasing after things we can't have, we might find more peace. Have you ever found that to be true in your own life?

  • Being thankful and greatful for good things is a good attitude to have. Thought provoking words
