Inspirational Quote – The Power of Desire and Hope

“The secret of life is the desire to attain something; the absence of this makes life useless. Hope is the sustenance of life; hope comes from the desire of attaining something. Therefore this desire is in itself a very great power.”

                                                                                    –Hazrat Inayat Khan

Our true desires should not be taken lightly.  Our true desires are the secret to life And we must be able to distinguish between our true desires and false desires.  This feeling we get inside of us when we are aware of our true desires often times can’t be explained to others.  This feeling is stirring of hope—the inspiration we need to stay motivated in life.  To “attain” on the path of enlightenment and in increasing our Visionary Consciousness is the art and science of being and becoming.  Attainment is not about the acquisition of things, but rather, attainment is the directing of thought and energy to fulfill the true desires of the heart. The true desire itself is a signal from our true and authentic self seeking to let you know who you really are and why you are here. 

Even with our burning heart’s desires trying to direct us toward our true and authentic self, sometimes we get thrown off path if we do not understand our vision of purpose in life.  When we don’t have a vision to how we want to evolve and see our lives unfold, the “something” just becomes the acquisition of things.  Bringing ourselves back to the Presence allows the Creative Spirit to move.  We feel inspired again as the Creative Spirit moves and the “something” becomes about who we truly desire to be and how we truly desire to live our lives.  This “something” empowers us as co-creators rather than making us a victim of circumstance.  As we grow in consciousness and awareness, we continue to use this empowerment to actualize our true desires; thus we move closer and close to actualizing who we truly are.

Accordingly, this empowerment is hope.  Hope is the sustenance of life.  We will only lose hope when we can’t see more.  Seeing more is the work of increasing our Visionary Consciousness.  And we will never be able to see more if we are not in the Presence or if we do not maintain present moment awareness.  Hope when met with faith through spiritual work and spiritual technologies (meditation, prayer, mantras, journaling, yoga, visualization, visioning…) becomes the “knowing” we have in the Presence.  As we look at our present moment and see the circumstance we have created, then in the Presence we have a “knowing” that “all things work together for our good.”  With this “knowing”, we are able to draw to us by way of the Law of Attraction all things in synchronicity to create, actualize, and manifest our true desires. As such, we can’t lose hope; for if we lose hope, we lose sight of our vision of purpose in life.
