Playing with The Energy of Desire

How do you cultivate self-worth? By asking life for what you want. Not what you have been told to want. Not what you believe you should want. Not what you believe others want for you. Exactly, precisely, what you truly want for yourself and your life. 

How do you know when you’re asking for that? When it feels a little embarrassing to write down or speak out loud. True desires are so honest and authentic it is actually quite a vulnerable feeling to put them out on display in the world. We have been trained from a very young age to suppress our deepest desires, lest we make other people with suppressed desires (which is basically everyone) uncomfortable. 

So we walk around this world knowing deep down what we desire but consciously we have accepted substitutes for what we want and wonder why we feel so unworthy of life’s bounty. 

Worthiness comes naturally to those who not only are in tune with what they truly desire, but have the audacity to ask life for it, fully believing that they have already received what they have asked for. With that attitude, even if those desires don’t manifest, it doesn’t matter because the energetic benefit of desiring has already been received.

Could it be that asking for what you want is actually more generative of worthiness than actually getting what you want? What if the true blessing is in the asking, not the getting? Because in truth, no desire that is out of alignment with the perfection of life will ever manifest. The only aspect of desire that you are guaranteed to experience is the energy of the desire itself as it appears in the moment.

So learn to have fun with desire and desiring. Ask life for what you want, just for the hell of it. Enjoy the deliciousness of desire itself, long before it ever manifests (or doesn’t). The best quote-on-quote “manifestors” are having such a blast playing with the energy of their desires that they don’t even have time to worry about whether their desires actually manifest. 

Desires are here to help us remember that the universe is a cosmic sandbox, and we’re here to play!
