Desire Over Need

If other people's needs conflict with your desires, follow your desires. They deserve to have their needs met by someone who desires to meet them, you deserve to act from desire and not coercion.

The idea of greater need is a race to the bottom. Your whim is more important than someone else's need, but you'll find from a nourished state that your desire is most often aligned with creating more connection, that service to others is often your deepest desire, when you are nurtured and nourished.

The crazy paradox is—you can't experience that your service to others is pure generosity unless you prioritize your own desires over others' needs.

If you are meeting others' needs rather than pursuing your desires, you will lose the thread of your desire and not notice its presence or absence in your actions. You may find yourself suddenly in the posture of the martyr in the middle of what you thought was the path of your desire.

When you trust that your desire is all that moves you, you can experience pure generosity of spirit in your acts of service to others.
