About desire...

Hello Friends,

Desire is often a motivator and an enabler of many things.  I suppose that is what's most important; meaning it can be a help in achieving our dreams.  But where do we learn to draw the line so that it does not cross over to being a negative?  That part has always puzzled me. I often wonder how to come to terms with such desire in wanting more than one has.

Recently I read this quote by Epicurus;  'do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the the things you only hoped for'.  Those thoughts cause me to pause and reflect on their meaning.  Perhaps what's most important is desiring to live each day to the fullest and finding completeness in that very thing.  Until next tme...
