What impact does desire really have on our lives?

This has been a question I have been studying throughout the month of November.

What I have learned is that Desire like most things is a choice, and if we want something bad enough, and have enough desire…we will make the choice to do something about it.   If the desire isn’t strong enough…we will only do something about it when it is convenient.

“Never, never underestimate the power of desire. If you want to live badly enough, you can live. The great question, at least for me, was: How do I decide I want to live?” – Marya Hornbache
