All desires are burden to the soul

<p>You&rsquo;ve felt it. That burning desire, the yearning for the shiny new car, the luxurious apartment, the next promotion, the next&hellip;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><img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:875/0*_UnrXf0O3sOQxx5G" style="height:467px; width:700px" /></p> <p>Photo by&nbsp;<a href="https://unsplash.com/@grakozy?utm_source=medium&amp;utm_medium=referral" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Greg Rakozy</a>&nbsp;on&nbsp;<a href="https://unsplash.com/?utm_source=medium&amp;utm_medium=referral" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Unsplash</a></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&rsquo;s the purest, the most uplifting. It&rsquo;s what makes my heart light and spirit soar. It&rsquo;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> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@mustafabisic/all-desires-are-burden-to-the-soul-16fecb055266"><strong>Learn More</strong></a></p>
