All desires are burden to the soul
<p>You’ve felt it. That burning desire, the yearning for the shiny new car, the luxurious apartment, the next promotion, the next…whatever. We all have goals. Some big, some small. But let me share a secret: these very goals, if driven solely by material desires, can weigh down our souls like chains.</p>

<p>Every time I coveted something fleeting, it felt like a burden. It made me feel, well, weaker.</p>
<p>Enter the age-old wisdom from religious texts and stoic philosophy, which offer an entirely different perspective.</p>
<h2>The Lifelong Energy Booster</h2>
<p>During my deep dives into religious scriptures, videos, and stoic philosophy, a revelation struck me: while chasing after worldly desires can be draining, linking oneself with a higher purpose or moral compass acts as a supercharger for the soul.</p>
<p>For me, making God happy became my central goal. It’s the purest, the most uplifting. It’s what makes my heart light and spirit soar. It’s my endless wellspring of energy. In the grand theatre of life, this alignment with a greater purpose started overshadowing my earlier, material-driven aspirations.</p>
