To Truly Enjoy Life You Must Let Go Of Desire

Man was born with a hole in his heart that becomes deeper when he tries to fill it. A man who is never content with himself cannot be content with the experiences life has to offer for instead of embracing the journey he forever chases the result/ the conclusion and the truth is there is no conclusion... once a goal is accomplished or failed then you move on to the next thing. Novelty is a short lived pleasure much like a child enthusiastic about a toy quickly becomes bored of it once they obtain and move onto the next.

To enjoy life you have to appreciate what is present , to embrace your situation whether your fate is fortunate or unfortunate. Pain comes from within, love comes from within, emptiness comes from within, fulfillment comes from within. It is impossible to achieve a state of being from obtaining, it is the belief that obtaining a thing will make us feel better actually makes us feel better until it is obtained and you come to the realisation that thing you got, the success you achieved changes nothing in the grand scheme of things.

I just made all of that up, stop putting importance on what strangers on the internet tell you that you need to do or how you need to be to be happy.

I think desire is also there in the present so idk if getting rid of it is the way. I feel with it we are motivated to achieve greatness. Maybe not desire but rushed expectations should go. It’s ok to desire something and not have it if ur expectations are bound by patience. But I also just brain stormed that one.
