#1 I began to speak about the Desired Feelings Thing, as it became known, onstage at my speaking gigs. I gave the theory a name: The Strategy of Desire. I wrote about it in session 3 of my book, The Fire Starter Sessions, and it proved to be the most meaningfully discussed chapter of the book.
#2 We typically come up with our todo lists, our bucket lists, and our strategic plans. But what if we designed our todo lists, goals, and bucket lists from a different perspective.
#3 We have the power to choose what we want in our lives. We can choose to be angry, resentful, and filled with clutter, or we can choose compassion, tenderness, and resilience.
#4 When you want things to be different, when you're in pain, when you've got a great idea to act on, when you want to make stuff, you'll have your desired feelings in mind. Your desired feelings are how you create your reality.

#1

I began to speak about the Desired Feelings Thing, as it became known, onstage at my speaking gigs. I gave the theory a name: The Strategy of Desire. I wrote about it in session 3 of my book, The Fire Starter Sessions, and it proved to be the most meaningfully discussed chapter of the book.

#2

We typically come up with our to-do lists, our bucket lists, and our strategic plans. But what if we designed our to-do lists, goals, and bucket lists from a different perspective.

#3

We have the power to choose what we want in our lives. We can choose to be angry, resentful, and filled with clutter, or we can choose compassion, tenderness, and resilience.

#4

When you want things to be different, when you're in pain, when you've got a great idea to act on, when you want to make stuff, you'll have your desired feelings in mind. Your desired feelings are how you create your reality.

#5

When you get clear on how you want to feel, your external goals will feel more comfortable and you will feel much more integrated. The pursuit itself will become more satisfying.

#9

I once sent an email to a lama. A Tibetan Buddhist lama. I was high off a weekend workshop with him and other Buddhists and wannabe Buddhists. For the record, I’m neither.

#10

I have a passion for enlightenment, but I wonder if the intense wanting to be better is the wrong way to go about things. Perhaps it’s about letting my essence, my Buddha nature, just be revealed.

#11

The art of having a deep desire for liberation is to keep asking yourself quietly: Am I being pushy. Is my desire for freedom clean or is it tainted with all kinds of emotional overtones. In my desire to be free, am I harming myself or others around me.

#12

I decided to start looking at what I desired, and why. My answer was simple: to feel good.

#13

When you examine your desires, you get closer to your current reality and your potential. When you cease to desire, you cease to evolve. Your pursuit of the things you want can shift from feverish and anxiety-driven to trusting and fluid.

#14

We all want to feel good. We want to get the right stuff done, without delay. To feel good, we want to cling to our desires or trust in the universe.

#15

I want to feel like a Rumi poem. I want to feel like an orgasm. I want to feel like I matter. I want to feel like I am alive and overflowing with abundance of what I desire.

#16
