In Buddhism, there's a teaching that "desire causes suffering." There is truth in this.

However, this does not mean we should stop desiring. A desire only causes suffering if we continue to long for it --- if we continue to focus on desiring what we want.

Desire is born out of the contrasts we experience in life.

To better understand this, we need to differentiate between desire as the act itself and desire as the object or goal. It is the former that causes suffering and anxiety.

Desiring causes suffering because it brings your focus on the lack of having what we want. The law of attraction responds by sending you more of that lack.

Once we have identified what we do want (desire), we no longer need to keep desiring it. Instead, we focus our mind into experiencing it as already happening.

Longing for your desire and manifesting your desires are exact opposites. As Abraham Hicks put it, you can either look in the opposite direction of your desire or look into its direction.

The latter is what causes suffering because the focus is on the lack of it. The former is what gives joy because the focus in on having it, whether vibrationally or the actual physical manifestation.

When you are vibrationally aligned to the completion of your desire, the physical manifestation follows.

When you think of your desire, ask yourself: "why do you want it?" Answering this question will help you experience it as already happening. You get to experience the feeling of having it.

Don't entertain thoughts about how, who, or when because this will cause you longing and anxiousness. Then let go and let God.

This approach will help to free you from your desire, freeing you from suffering. Instead you'll be allowing it to manifest, and your mind will be free to receive any divine guidance that comes your way.

Harness the power of the Law of Attraction and experience success, wealth, good health and meaningful relationships for the rest of your joyous life.
