Hello wondrous Souls,
Today I am talking about the motivation behind our desires in life.
We often chase desires without truly understanding the deeper “why” behind them. We say, “I want money,” “I want a better job,” or “I want to be successful.” But why? What purpose lies beneath these desires? What is calling you forward, and how does it align with your soul and God’s divine plan for your life?
Desire, at its core, is a compass pointing toward your purpose. It is the spark of possibility, a whisper of what could be. But without a heartfelt reason, your WHY, behind your desires, you can lose momentum, become distracted, or find yourself chasing hollow goals that leave you unfulfilled. To keep moving forward on your path, you must ask yourself: What is the purpose of my desire?
Asking the Right Questions
For example, when you say, “I want money,” it’s not enough to stop there. The desire for money isn’t the end goal—it’s simply a means to something deeper. So ask yourself:
- Why do I want money?
- What will it provide for me?
- What will it allow me to create, experience, or give?
- How does it align with the life I’m being called to live?
If your answer is rooted in fear or ego—”I want money so people will respect me”—it may be time to pause and reflect. True alignment comes when your desires are connected to something greater, something sacred. Perhaps you want financial freedom so you can spend more time with loved ones, contribute to causes you care about, or create something meaningful that leaves a legacy.
This deeper “why” anchors your purpose and gives you strength to keep moving forward, even when challenges arise.
Your Purpose is Bigger Than You
The greatest desires are not just about you. They are about how your attributes, unique gifts, passions, and dreams contribute to the world. The Creator, Great Spirit, God, The Divine Living Presence – what ever you choose to call your divine source, has a plan for you, which is always connected to love, growth, and service. It’s about how you can embody your highest self and fulfill your divine potential—not for your own glory, but for the upliftment of all.
So, ask yourself:
- How does my desire align with the highest good?
- How can I serve others through my purpose?
- What does the Creator want to express through me?
When your desires align with God’s plan, they feel expansive, inspired, and infused with grace. You become a vessel for something greater, and the universe begins to conspire in your favour.

Strategies to Keep Moving Forward on Your Purpose
- Anchor Your “Why”
Write down the deeper reason behind your desire and revisit it daily. This keeps you connected to your purpose and reminds you why you started in the first place. - Visualize Your Higher Calling
Take time to meditate or journal about your purpose as if it’s already unfolding. Imagine how it feels to live in alignment with your desires and Great Spirit’s plan. This strengthens your connection to your vision and fuels your motivation. - Surrender and Trust
Your purpose is a partnership with the divine. Surrender the need to control every detail, and trust that God’s timing is perfect. When things feel uncertain, lean into faith. Know that what’s meant for you will find its way. - Serve Along the Way
Purpose is not a destination—it’s a way of being. Look for ways to serve others, even in small ways, as you move toward your desires. This creates momentum and aligns you with the abundant flow of The Divine Living Presence. - Surround Yourself with Soulful Support
Share your journey with people who uplift and inspire you. Community keeps you grounded and provides encouragement when the road feels difficult. - Celebrate Progress
Every small step forward is sacred. Celebrate your wins, no matter how small, and honor the progress you’re making toward your higher purpose. Gratitude magnifies blessings.
You Are Meant for More
Remember, your desires are not random. They are whispers from your soul, guiding you toward the life you were created to live. When you align your desires with God’s plan, you step into a flow of grace, joy, and abundance that transcends the material world.
So, ask yourself today: What is the purpose of my desire? And how can I honour that purpose with love, faith, and unwavering trust in the divine plan?
The world needs you—your gifts, your light, your unique purpose. Keep moving forward, one inspired step at a time. The journey is as sacred as the destination.
Heart to Heart, Elizabeth
