We All Have Things We Want

But do these things come from our ego self, and can therefore be nothing but impermanent, or from a deeper part that wants to expand and express more of it’s beingness, thereby lasting forever?

That was a question that arose, believe it or not, in response to some deep questioning by one of the participants in a business mastermind?

What came of the conversation, shared among the members, was the idea of the difference between “yearnings” and “cravings”.

There is no end of craving.
Hence contentment alone is the best way to happiness.
Therefore, acquire contentment.
Sivananda

Yearning vs. Cravings

People came to agree that cravings were something we hoped to satisfy with some consuming or acquiring. But ultimately, cravings can only be satisfied temporarily.

Yearnings, on the other hand, were thought to come from a deeper, more permanent place inside us. They are an invitation to a call to action. Explored, answered and acted upon, yearnings can yield actual changes to our being that can last…forever.

Take the yearning to become a musician, or an artist. Once acted upon, and a new skill set is practiced, the satisfaction of expressing music or painting can not be taken from us.

Or consider the yearning to enjoy the business that we began to be independent, practice a unique talent, or just to experience challenge. This yearning can actually be calling us to be more capable, able, and to provide a greater service that is needed in the world. Again, once earned, these will go on.

At the innermost core of all loneliness is a deep and powerful yearning
for union with one’s lost self.
Brendan Francis
