Your Wish Fulfilled. Become Your Future Self Now.

The strange problem with desire... (and how to get what you want faster)


Listen Later

In this thought-provoking episode titled "Desire: Understanding Our Inner Contracts for Happiness," we explore the intriguing concept that desire can be seen as a contract we make with ourselves—an agreement to postpone our happiness until we achieve what we want. This perspective challenges us to rethink how our desires shape our emotional well-being and life satisfaction.

Desires are a natural part of the human experience, driving us toward growth, innovation, and fulfillment. However, when our happiness becomes contingent upon fulfilling these desires, we can inadvertently set ourselves up for perpetual dissatisfaction. By understanding this internal contract, we can learn to renegotiate our approach to desires, balancing ambition with contentment.

In this session, we delve into:

  • The psychology behind why we link happiness so closely with achieving our desires.
  • Strategies to appreciate the journey toward our goals without deferring happiness.
  • How to distinguish between healthy aspirations and those that may lead to unnecessary discontent.
  • Join us as we unravel the complexities of desire and happiness, offering insights that encourage a healthier relationship with our ambitions and aspirations. Learn how to enjoy life's moments now, not just in anticipation of future achievements.
