What if the discomfort of wanting something could be transformed into a potent, driving force? What if the pursuit of your desires, despite the uncertainty and fear, led to a journey of personal growth more rewarding than the fulfillment of the desire itself? Welcome to an episode where we explore these thought-provoking questions and dive into the deep end of desire. We’ll illuminate the distinction between true desires and compensatory desires, the latter almost always leaving us feeling like it underdelivered.  Let's face it - the journey of chasing after what we truly want can be intimidating. It pushes us from the comfort of the known into the vast, uncharted unknown. But we’re here to help you reframe that discomfort, to see it not as a roadblock but rather an energizing sensation that can be harnessed and leaned into. We also touch on the complexity of wanting and yearning, and how these potent feelings can be both frightening and exhilarating. We recognize that life can sometimes get in the way of our desires. The lack of resources can leave us feeling lifeless, uninspired, and unable to distinguish between our true desires and compensatory ones. We delve into the implications of this, and how it's possible to navigate the ups and downs that come with it. We invite you to journey with us as we explore the profound concepts of True Versus Compensatory Desire and help you find your path to a desire-based life. We'd love to hear from you.
