Desire: The Starting Point of Purpose

Desire: The Starting Point of Purpose

It all starts with a desire.

A desire for more.

A desire for purpose.

A desire to live an abundant life.

It’s that pull to do something meaningful, something impactful. Not materialistic wants or fleeting impulses—but those righteous desires that align with who you are and what the world needs from you.

Let me explain why starting the year reflecting on your deepest desires is powerful.

You Can’t Achieve a Dream Without Desir

Whatever you want to do in life—truly do—you must desire it. Not just like it. Not just find it interesting. You have to yearn for it. It has to stir something deep within you, because that’s what keeps you going when the road gets tough.

Without true desire, your passion fades. And even if you keep going, it’s unlikely you’ll feel fulfilled. I don’t want that for you.

Desire Is Connected to Purpose

We’re each born with specific desires tied to our natural talents. These aren’t random—your unique calling is often embedded in what you long for.

You won’t be drawn to something that you’re completely unsuited for. Like me—I’m never going to be a jockey. Horses aren’t my thing! But painting? Drawing? Creating? That’s been my calling since kindergarten.

Desire Doesn’t Fade—It Smoulders

Even if you try to ignore it, desire doesn’t disappear. It simmers in the background. I once suppressed my desire to be an artist for nearly 7 years, working in hospitality and administration. But no matter how much I pushed it down, that creative spark never went out.

Eventually, I gave in. A magnolia tree outside my house reminded me of what I loved. I picked up a pencil. Then a paintbrush. I started creating again—and that desire reignited my life’s direction.

Desire Will Guide Your Plans

Before making big life decisions, ask yourself: what do I truly desire? What can’t I stop thinking about? What brings me peace, joy, and energy?

Don’t chase dreams you’re not passionate about—they’ll lead to resentment. But once you’ve uncovered your real desire, your plans will feel exciting and aligned with who you are meant to be.

Success Begins With Desire

Forget society’s definition of success. It’s not about status, money, or possessions (unless that aligns with your purpose). True success is about fulfilling your life’s assignment—doing what you were designed to do.

Desire is the foundation. It’s your inner compass. And when you follow it, life becomes more fulfilling, more purposeful, and yes—more successful.

So ask yourself:

What is it that I truly desire?

The answer might just change everything.
