Divergent desires will flood your mind. Whichever desire preoccupies you usually dictates your mood and actions toward fulfillment of that desire. Perhaps yesterday you wanted a new career. Today, you feel you need a new car or different friends, perhaps great fame, or no, a mushroom pizza will do. Your desires for others, your children, your colleagues, your countrymen, flood into your thoughts and emotions, too.
Most people are a mass of desires each desire an anarchist dominating for a brief time.
Because of the tremendous number of desires and their constant conflict you find it difficult to fulfill most of them. Possibly, you cannot accomplish even your most important desires due to the sabotage of other conflicting desires. Desire God above all else and be constant in that one desire. In this fixity of purpose, goodness will fill your life. In becoming fulfilled in your most central desire, many other important desires are often satisfied as well.
