Things you Desire

If the things you desire are only for yourself ,
then what you accomplish will be
empty and unfulfilling .

Desire turned inward is nothing but greed ,
and will bring you nothing worth having .

The greediest people are
not those who desire too much .

The greediest people are those
who desire too little ,
who desire only for their own narrow ,
limited concerns .

The more outwardly your desires are focused ,
the more fulfilling will the fruits of those desires be .

What you desire for the world beyond you ,
for all of life itself ,
will bring the most lasting , fulfilling rewards .

The person who solves his own small problems
will receive some real value from his efforts .

Yet , when that person can make ,
the same innovation available to others ,
the value that can be created ,
is virtually unlimited .

Desire can be a powerful force ,
so be sure to point it in a positive direction .

The more you desire
is focused beyond your concerns ,
the further it will take you and your world .
