the nature of desire: what your longing reveals about your destiny

Welcome back, Activators! In this episode of It Is Done, Nisha takes us on a journey into the heart of desire—exploring how our deepest longings are not just random wants, but spiritual signals that guide us toward our destiny. Together, we delve into the idea that desire is not selfish or misplaced, but rather, a sacred compass pointing us in the direction of our true purpose.

Inspired by Psalm 37:4, which says, “Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart,” we discuss the spiritual origin of desire and how it acts as a guide that connects us to our divine calling. We’ll unpack how to discern between ego-driven desires that seek external validation and soul-aligned desires that resonate with peace and purpose.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The deeper meaning of desire as a spiritual signal, not just a fleeting want.
• How to recognize when a longing is coming from your soul versus when it is driven by ego.
• Practical steps to nurture soul-aligned desires and use them to manifest your destiny.
• The importance of surrendering to the process and trusting that your desires are part of a bigger divine plan.

Key Scriptures Covered:

• Psalm 37:4 – "Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart."
• Philippians 2:13 – "For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill His good purpose."
• Proverbs 16:9 – "In their hearts, humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps."

Practical Exercises:

• Desire Mapping: Write down your deepest desires and reflect on whether they feel soul-aligned or ego-driven. Focus on nurturing the ones that resonate deeply.
• Meditation for Clarity: Spend time each day in meditation, asking for guidance to discern between your true longings and surface-level wants.
• Daily Journaling: Document your progress and reflect on how pursuing your desires is shaping your growth and purpose.
