In any situation in life, you always have three choices: you can change it, you can accept it, or you can leave it. If you want to change it, then it is a desire. It will cause you suffering until you successfully change it. So don’t pick too many of those. Pick one big desire in your life at any given time to give yourself purpose and motivation.
Don’t pick too much desires because that will distract you. Less desires give you enough time to live in the present, which bring clarity of thoughts which results in peace.
