Have you ever wanted something so bad, that it hurts?? A burning desire to get hold of some thing, the mere thought of which makes your heart beat faster, your soul crave and that consumes you every waking moment of the day...a desire, a longing SO intense, that you wish to God that it to be fulfilled; for living without the source of your desire seems like an impossible task....Whether the thing is good for you or not, is irrelevant, for your desire supersedes everything else!!......
Whatever the cause of such emotion be, it is so easy to give in!! for emotions are powerful things.....It is like temptations like these, were made to test one's self-control and the limit to which one'd go to obtain them...
Why does the heart always crave things that are not under our control?! Like all things material, the love of a certain person, glory or even acceptance by others....Is it life's way of taunting us and saying that, the things we already possess aren't good enough?!! Or is it its way of telling us, that we need to work harder and strive towards what we find better and more desirable??....
Call it desire, need, greed, dissatisfaction, temptation or an obsession, it IS a part of our lives and how we deal with it is, what is most important....And hence comes the need to be able to distinguish, and to find out, if the desire of that thing (tangible or not), is making us a better person or is it consuming us??....
Obsession in essence I have come to realize is a bad thing, for it is a strong desire for things, that'll eventually cause one to take some kind of a wrong action....An action, which in all likelihood will be repented at a later stage in life..... Such unfulfilled desires often cause discontentment, anger and frustrations and hence need to be cast away.... I know! It is not easy to get rid of them, but they need to be done away with somehow!!....I wish I could tell how, wish to know myself how to have better control over such an emotion.....For an obsession is a state of mind, where the mind is constantly dominated by a wish, a dream....a state, where the person subjected to the obsession, surrenders control and constantly lives in its shadow and doesn't even realize, that his obsession is an illness, which is tiring him and is slowly making him wither away...
A dream on the other hand, is something positive, it inspires you, it gives you space to grow...It gives you a choice to pursue it or not....It is something that you know you might be able to attain someday, if you made all the right moves and worked hard to attain it ....It makes you a better person and it leads you on.....Those who are passionate about attaining their dreams, do everything in their power to get close to them...Their enthusiasm and positive attitude make the desire turn into a reality, for their passion feeds them and they feed on their passion...
I dream of making the impossible, possible, and I WANT to live and realize my dream in my own lifetime. And I want to keep holding onto the thought that my dreams WILL come true one day.....I desperately hope and fervently pray everyday that they come true, but in case some of them die a premature death, which I hope to God, they don't, I hope I'd be able to hold onto the thought which the Dalai Lama has aired, and which I often find myself pondering on - "not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.".....
