The Problem With Desire

Desire is the main barrier to happiness. The more one desires external things, the more they realize that these things do not bring happiness or fulfillment. Happiness is internal and cannot be achieved through external possessions or circumstances. Desiring something creates a feeling of internal lack and the belief that one cannot be happy until they obtain what they desire. However, the only problems in life are the ones that individuals perceive as problems. The perception of not having what one desires is what creates the problem, not the actual circumstance. True happiness and contentment come from not feeling like something is missing in life and accepting circumstances as they are, rather than constantly desiring things or wanting others to change. Your thoughts are the problem, not external factors.
