When there’s always something to desire it’s because you don’t think you have enough and if you don’t think you have enough, there will always be something that’s desired. Desires draw isn’t something that’s inherently bad, why one is drawn to desire is where issues arise and this is only because where there is desire, it’s because you think something is missing. Desires draw only matters to the degree in how the thing desired affects your life. The desires draw to drink alcohol in access and do drugs have consequences much different than the desires draw to stop using those things, but the desires core is the same and that’s what needs to be examined. Don’t let the different draw pull you into unconsciousness because all desire leads to suffering in one form or another.
You may think the draw of desire to improve is a good thing, but that would mean you need things to be different to accept yourself. Accepting life exactly how it is is the only place you will experience the peace of not drawing the desire of having things different. I’m not saying don’t improve yourself, but if it’s at the expense of your peace of mind, there’s no benefit to it. Go for the gold, just understand even if it’s attained you will find it’s not providing the benefits you thought it would; shortly afterwards desires draw returns. Investigate this and see how desires draw arises from needing, and needing causes attachment which causes suffering. Break free from desires draw of needing things different and you will inevitably stop suffering…
