Change your life from the inside out...
“Our destiny changes with our thought; we shall become what we wish to become, do what we wish to do, when our habitual thought corresponds with our desire.”
-Orison Swett Marden
The Desire Engine is a way of thinking about what pulls us through life—a cycle of thought, choice and action that literally moves us forward, day-to-day. It's a self-coaching model we can use to look deeply at our choices in any given moment, and test how they align with the outcomes we want and expect from our future.
We can say that the our life turns on the Desire Engine, and our self-expansion (even transformation) turns on our progress and process in life. One helpful way to visualize this relationship, is like a set of gears.
Everything we experience begins with thought. Emotions, belief, attitude, choice, action, relationship, experience, material wealth — it all begins with our thinking. We create, and co-create, with thought.
Aligning aspects of our internal process and external action can smooth and energize our forward progress in life. Both short-term goals and long-term dreams are more easily achieved when all the gears of our Desire Engines are meshing well and running smoothly.
On the other hand, fears and other inhibitions can slow or thwart our progress through the Desire cycle, slowing our forward motion through life, and lowering our energy levels. It's also possible to make choices that are not aligned with who we are, and this is like putting the wrong kind of fuel in our engine—it can't run its most efficient under those circumstances. This kind of poor running might result in (at minimum) a feeling of sluggishness, or that we're "stuck," but it doesn't have to be that way.

DesireEngine.com promotes self-accountability and deliberate (conscious) choice. We can all benefit by reclaiming authority that up until now, we’ve practiced giving away in order to gain the approval of others — or for this or that imagined reason.
It's true that we increase our chances of happiness by making more of our choices based on what inspires us; from the inside out; with more focus of attention and "presence" than we are normally accustomed to.
There's real power in the knowing that our happiness is not about someone else's actions or solution, but about finding what works for us based on who we are in the present moment.
What do you want? What are the thoughts you habitually think? What are the kinds of choices you make, and how do you make your choices? What you are willing to do to make your wants happen?
Working with the Desire Engine can provide you with the insight and perspective to answer these questions, and more.
