……. We fail to seriously consider or understand the reasons why we wish for our desires. Then, on attaining them, we wonder why the initial exuberance doesn’t last, not realizing that it was only a step to something else, which still hasn’t been acquired..…
Author’s Comment: Ever remember a time that you wanted that cake (doughnut, juicy steak, whatever) so much, and then after pigging out on it, you felt so bad? The desire in your mind didn’t harmonize with what the body really needed (or the amount which it needed). So it is with so many of our perceived desires—they don’t fit what our spirit or our lives really need. Understanding this, and developing the persistence to find what you so seek deep down, can unlock an invaluable treasure of contentment.
