(0:00:20) - The Importance of Following Your Desires (12 Minutes)

I discuss the importance of desire and wanting in our lives. I believe that one of the best ways to know ourselves is by understanding what we truly want deep down. The most common desire we all have is for love, and it is essential to enrich our lives by figuring out what we love and bringing more of that into our lives. Unfortunately, when times get hard, joy is often one of the first things we quit, and this isn't a very healthy or enriching long-term strategy. We can re-center our life around our core desire by practicing appreciation, generosity, kindness, and gratitude to ourselves and others. By doing this, we can live a life we love and make sure that our best life is our most loved life.
