Short spoken excerpt from Lori Harder (YouTube video "You Need Desire If You Want to Excel") arguing that desire is valuable when balanced with gratitude; desire motivates growth and personal development, while untempered wanting (focusing on lack) can overwhelm and diminish zest for life.

I feel like desiring things is a great thing as long as you are simultaneously grateful for what you have. I think wanting things gets overwhelming when you start to focus on what you don't have. The desire is leading us down the journey, which is often challenging, that is, creating us into the person that we came here to be. And the second that you stop desiring, the zest for a life can be gone.
