I’ve decided to start a 40-day program of being aware of and sidestepping desires. Desires motivate, but also bring attachment to outcomes — a major cause of not being in the moment with what is. Steve Ross once said the reason we get such pleasure from satisfying a desire for some new thing is that for a moment we are in a state of desirelessness.
With that sentiment in mind and Kali to chop off the head of every desirous thought, here we go.
Day 1
I do not desire this car.
