Desire

Desire is good, if we had no desires in life, there would be no reason for us to live.

However, the question is what kind of desires should we seek, and what kind of desires are desirable?

Satisfaction?

Another thought, should we seek satisfaction in life?

For example, I am currently dissatisfied with my chest size, and also I would like to be able to dumbbell press 150 pounds in each hand. Perhaps this is a good desire, because it gives me a motivation purpose and energy to do things.

Where I am satisfied

I am very satisfied with the muscularity of my back, and my legs and thighs. I know the good thing is honestly from this point forward, it is all upside.

However, I seek to keep increasing the numbers for my rack pull, and also my micro squat. Why? It is fun thrilling and interesting to me.

Design satisfaction?

Something I am insanely passionate about is design. Typically with design matters, I am so insanely specific and particular about things and I can never find things which satisfy me. However, after much great thinking, experimentation, and time, I usually find some sort of design I am happy with. And then once I am happy with it, I just try to stick with it as long as humanly possible, until it stops working and I gotta move onto the next one.

For example, matters with clothes. Choosing a certain outfit, I am insanely particular about the quality of the materials, the look, the fit, and the color. However some thing I have noticed is that the tricky thing with clothes is that now that I am frequenting the gym every single day, I’m getting way buffer, and way more swole. Thus, a lot of my shirts are starting to fit too tight, which probably requires me to get a new type of shirt solution.

For example, I really like the Outlier.nyc shirt, merino wool, but after much use, it always tears apart. Well I do find this to be stylish, it is a bit annoying.

Life thoughts and pursuits

Then I suppose the question is this, addressing your desires in life, where you are dissatisfied, etc., which pursuits do you believe worthy enough for you to pursue?
