Heart's Desire = God's Will

I just watched a podcast with Michael Beckwith where he states what I have intuitively felt for years, that is that our heart's desire IS God's will for our lives!

I am excited because you often hear that desire is a negative thing. It is selfish and ego based.  It should be eliminated if you want to experience peace.

But, that has always felt wrong to me.  

To me, the heart's desire is how an individual knows their path.  It eliminates the problems of codependent martyrdom.  It is the answer to understanding one's purpose.

Selflessness and a life of suffering is not what this life is about.  We can live an enlightened and beautiful existence and still be in service to the world.  To do this we only need to let go of the selfish wantings, greed and superficial and temporary goals, and tune into the higher goals, the deeper longings and allow that to be the compass for all of life's decisions.  

So take a minute now to tune into your own heart's desire.  What are you longing to experience?  What do you want to see in the world.  Think big.  The bigger the better.  God is big and is looking for parters.  Let yourself play the part God intended for your life.  Let go of the expectations of others and learn to trust your own inner guidance.  This is how you will live a life of your highest dreams.  Be your highest expression in this lifetime and we will all benefit.  Your selfless service to the world is to live your best life.
