What's your real heart's desire? What do you want more than anything? Want so much, that mere wishing and waiting aren't enough? Want so much, you're prepared to work for it. Want so much you're prepared to risk maybe NOT getting it?
A lot of what we think we want, we really only want if it's (relatively) safe and easy to get. We'd quite like to be rich, but not if it means mortgaging our house, working long hours, putting our reputations on the line, getting outside our comfort zone, etc.
Sometimes what we really want is a quiet life, and we might be afraid to admit that to our post-modern, inner-urban, right-thinking, chardy-swilling social circles. Sometimes we really want to be an artist, a recluse, a beachcomber, a lawyer, a nurse, a plumber, a gardener, a strawberry farmer.
Sometimes we chase a dream, when we could chase an ambition. Sometimes we chase an idea. Sometimes we give up too soon on a possibility. Sometimes we don't know the difference. Sometimes we'd rather not know.
What's your heart's desire? If you're not sure, what are you going to do to today to try and find out?
