Desire may drive you to pursue a better life and create a more perfect self. However, in this process, have you ever held tightly to the happiness and beauty of the present? When you are swept along by desire, the scenery passed, the moments experienced, and the regrets left behind will never return to you. Yes, they can never come back. Lost youth, lost emotions, and regretted choices are already done and gone. What remains is the path guided by desire, not what you truly wish or want to have.
Following desire, you might get everything you want, but in the end, you will be neither happy nor fulfilled. Because your inner self is empty, lacking a soul. No one shares your joy and happiness, because they were left behind when you chased your desires; no one shares your pain and tears, because they were harshly abandoned in your memories as you followed your desires. Yes! You have gained what you deserved, but you have also lost what you failed to cherish. Look back at the happiness you've lost and ask yourself: Is my life still there?
We need desire to lead us to success, and we need it to give life the courage to live. However, it does not allow us to feel true joy and beauty. Because what we should cherish is not what desire gives, but what we possess in our hands, around us, in the past, and in the present. Do not forget the needs of the soul, and do not sell your soul to desire. Happiness is very close to us. Please Learn to embrace the happiness you already have, and do not let desire become the sorrow of life. If you are willing, hold onto happiness and move slowly toward your goals. It may be slower, but the most precious gift accompanies you.
