Everything comes back to desire. For example, there is no such thing as “forcing” yourself to try to do something that you don’t want to do. And so, to be successful – to realize your potential – means to be constantly examining what it is you truly want, and why. Is my wanting going to generate wholesome emotions or unwholesome emotions? It is an ongoing process of contemplation, understanding, shaping, reshaping, and letting go where necessary. When you can see clearly what it is you want, and why, things start to become a bit easier.
