Before chasing a desire, pause and ask where it came from. We often think we want something because of its “objective” benefits, but the desire may have started because someone else made it look desirable. This can apply to a career path, a purchase, a relationship, a lifestyle, or a goal. Ask yourself: Who made this look appealing to me? Who do I imagine when I picture the life I want? Whose success makes me feel inspired, jealous, insecure, or behind? These people are your models of desire. Some may pull you toward good things, while others may quietly trap you in comparison.
