"There’s nothing capricious in nature, and the implanting of a desire indicates that its gratification is in the constitution of the creature that feels it." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson from The Selected Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wow. That’s a strong statement.
First, nature is not capricious–she doesn’t play around. You wouldn’t *have* the desire if you couldn’t *manifest* the desire. POWERFUL stuff.
Kinda reminds of Napoleon Hill’s classic: "What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve."
More from Emerson: "Our desires presage the capacities within us; they are harbingers of what we shall be able to accomplish. What we can do and want to do is projected in our imagination, quite outside ourselves, and into the future. We are attracted to what is already ours in secret. Thus passionate anticipation transforms what is indeed possible into dreamt-for reality."
And, "Do that which is assigned to you, and you cannot hope too much or dare too much."
Well… what are you waiting for?
You’ve been inspired. It’s time to reap your destiny!!!!! (!!!!!!)

Good quotes, Brian! I am sure that you realize that, like all emotion-based feelings and actions, desire can be used to destroy–anything, including self–as well as create.
There are those who teach that the best way to be happy is not to have any desire. But surely they must realize that the desire not to have a desire IS a desire. Whether we like it or not, we human beings are, by nature, desired-based. In effect we are incurably religious; we all say our prayers. Atheists and agnostics call them desires, or wishes.
Interestingly, our word 'desire' comes from the Latin 'desiderare'–to await the fate which the stars bring. Siderus is the Latin for constellation.
My desire and intent it to have desires that are Love-based and life-enhancing–in the agape sense of the word. That is, desires that are good, beautiful, true, just and inclusive.
Wonderful ideas to share this morning. Thank you!
How passionately these words resonate into my soul and out into my daily routine! thank you, thank you!
ya i understand that , the intention is to believe , and do not doubt or second guess , just believe , and nature starts the process of bringing you that , what you believe.
so ultimately our thoughts are the main tool of ourself which makes or brakes us , according to our intention.
hey guys: love it!

akhil: yayuh! the way you described it makes me think of this:
"One-pointed intention means holding your attention to the intended outcome with such unbending purpose that you absolutely refuse to allow obstacles to consume and dissipate the focused quality of your attention. There is a total and complete exclusion of all obstacles from your consciousness. You are able to maintain an unshakeable serenity while being committed to your goal with intense passion." ~ Deepak Chopra
