Human's Passionate Desire

“Most of our troubles are due to our passionate desire for and attachment to things that we misapprehend as enduring entities.” ~Dalai Lama

I have a big heart, and I've often confused a big heart with being filled or over capacity with love. You know the phrase, "love hard," yea, I have that "problem." Truthfully though, when I read that quote it was like a light blub went off in my head onto where I have placed myself with people I've grown to love, respect, & honor. Now, at first glance of reading the quote I understood it to translate:

:: the reason you cannot let go is because you put your passion and energy into a physical, life-like form, than giving it reason to 'stay alive'::

But after reading it over and over again, I understood it as:

:: Don't confuse passion with power. You are in control of what has a soul, spirit, and live when it comes to what you give. You give water to a planet so it can grow, not so it can stay a seed::

Now we can agree to disagree, but I do want to know what you think it means!

---------------------------------

When it is all said and done, we are what we want to see in people. Often in times we get into relationships with partners, {romantically or just platonic, and even when handling business} and respect what others say but we secretly want things to go our way. That same limited thinking is the energy that charges or discharges the relationship. People get drained from being passionate about something to only have it transpired into an entity that has no soul or spirit!

That leads to confusion and attachment to WANT to make things work between the two {three, four, five, etc.}; which then leads to people feeling like they GIVE too much, or they don't get ENOUGH in return. Attachment to things & people with no sense of lust just makes you feel empty because lust itself is a blind factor of love.

Love is mutual and it is the root to everything you desire, materialistically or not. You love money right? You love the expensive life right? You love to feel wanted right? Than don't put your passions into the result you want, but rather YOUR OWN ENERGY to achieve everything you desire.

What others think of you is none of your business anyway, so be passionate. Love hard, Laugh often but remember, be the best version of yourself. People will only treat you as good as you treat yourself.

Peace.Love.Happiness
