There's an idea that no matter what one tries to do to suppress the desires of the heart - they will eventually will bleed through in all of our decisions. The heart wins. It sometimes causes us to make very poor decisions and hurt not only ourselves but our loved one's. Rather than hating ourselves we can choose to look at WHY we make these decisions. What exactly was my heart desiring? What desire have I been blocking, over-looking or believing to be wrong and thus not further investigating it? There isn't just one way to deal with a desire. I've also noticed that the more you listen to all aspects [all is an exaggeration - i don't mean to paint an extreme picture] of yourself...the less bitchy they are. Sometimes, they will leave you alone all-together.
What are my desires?
This isn't an easily answered question. Some of my desires may be so deeply buried and closely gaurded that I cannot even be aware of them, at this time, if I were to attempt to.
But, it's still worth the effort to take that first step towards identifying my current desires. I believe if I can get into the habit of doing this - it will be a beneficial tool for the rest of my life and a core one at that.
I like this. I agree.
