This…Or Something Better

“Desire is a contract you make with yourself to be unhappy until you get what you want. Therefore, choose your desire wisely.” -Naval Ravikant

One way to not get overly attached to your desires is that for whatever it is you seek, constantly say or think to yourself, “I desire this…Or something better.” Like a mantra.

“I desire this…Or something better” embraces trust. Trust that if what you seek doesn’t happen (even if you wanted it badly and worked as hard as you possibly could for it), or not in the way that you thought it would happen, that’s perfectly okay. It wasn’t meant to be. Trust in that.

“I desire this…Or something better” also allows for possibility. The possibility that arises from being open-minded to all opportunities. Opportunities that will inevitably spring up from your initial desire, followed by you taking action.
