Desires are an instrument of development, both of an individual person and of society as a whole. Desires do not always satisfy the needs a person needs - some are "whims." The quality of desires and their ability to satisfy largely determines the happiness of a person. Where do desires lead?

The theory of transference of reality, popular in our days, suggests that almost all of a person’s reality is formed by his desires. If a person pities himself, grumbles at fate, considers himself a failure and desires too little, then he receives setbacks at work and in his personal life.

If a person wants to change his life for the better, fill it with bright positive people, interesting events, wants to get beautiful housing, a car and paid work, then all this can quickly find a positive owner.

According to Henry Ford: “If you think you can, and if you think you cannot, you are right in both cases.” But one positive thinking is not enough for the realization of desires. Without action, your desires will remain only empty dreams. Therefore, act even if you are not completely sure. It is human nature to doubt critical situations, and all non-standard actions are, to some extent, critical. Action turns desire into intention - the engine of human evolution.

Desires can also be divided into two categories: realized and unrealized. What the person is at the moment depends on the quality of realized wishes. If a person is concerned about material problems, then he was engaged in the realization of material desires - getting a well-paid position, accumulating money or acquiring things. In this case, the spiritual principle of a person, his health suffers. Desires often interfere with the harmonious development of personality.

At the same time, desires aimed not inside (concentrated on oneself, self-centered), but outside - to help those in need, creating strong friendships and family ties, can make a person’s life full, harmonious. To find peace of mind, some need to join religious teachings, someone is helped by books and wise mentors.

Unfortunately, many young people have a desire to find a “passive source of income” that compensates for a luxurious life, and stop searching for the meaning of life, not to mention the support of other people. But such an approach usually turns against themselves. As the tycoon of America at the beginning of the 20th century Andrew Carnegie said: "Anyone who wants only money will be left with nothing." Desires shape our life like a guiding star - that is why their choice must be treated with caution and responsibility.
