I was frustrated about myself one day, and I found this from a book "Celebrating Silence":
"Desire kills joy yet the goal of all desires is joy. Whenever happiness has disappeared from your life, look deep within and you will see it is because of desire.
yet all that we desire is happiness. No creature desiring unhappiness is ever born; never has it happened before and never will it happen in the future.
When your small mind gets tired of running here and there, of wandering everywhere, it reaches the conclusion, "My desires have killed my happiness."
Then I felt more at ease. Thanks Sri Sri Ravi Shankar!
