Would you like any of these? If you're like most people today, you probably want ALL of these and some!

However if you explore your true desires, you might discover that there are a few things you want more than others. If you keep on going in your search, you will discover one desire that has been with you your whole life

Although income is the obvious desire, it's usually not the final goal. Indeed, money can, and does buy happiness - up to a point. When you have plenty of money to be financially secure or to buy the material objects you want, the true desire may be something else.

Love is the goal of each individual's heart. Whether it's love of a spouse, family, value and acknowledgement from equals, love is the everlasting pursuit. Mystics say that love is the sole intent of life-to give love and to find it.

Many individuals search for confidence that comes with a dependable position in a job. Along with that can come acknowledgement and popularity. Although you may want the money that's related with your job and career, some people simply simply seek to work in groups and teams that offer belonging and friendship.

Adventure and travel is another driving force for some people. They may look for jobs that demand travel, or they might be looking forward to taking time off to visit exotic locations around the world. 

Then there's creative thinking and self-expression. What about the book you are going to write or the watercolor class you would like to take? Creative expression is a wonderful inner release that boosts self-assurance and gives you something to achieve.

Ultimately, regardless of wealth and health, expression and love, everybody is looking for his or her peace of mind.

That's not to say emptiness of mind, but to eliminate petty worries and confusion, to be finally finished with fears and live in complete awareness. 

Is this the ultimate lifetime goal?
