One of my favourite things right now is my brand new kotatsu! I bought it with some Christmas money that my family gave me, and it is probably the best Christmas present I recieved this year! I feel so happy and cozy when I sit under it, especially with a cup of coffee! Do you like to use a kotatsu in winter?   

"Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek."

- Mario Andretti

Human beings have many desires; from money to family, we seek something to provide purpose in our lives. Without desire we, as humans, would have little to no drive or passion in our lives. Desires come in many forms, from basic wants, to dreams that take a lot of work and dedication to reach, but I see so many leave those dreams and harder to reach desires behind them because of simple excuses like "it's too difficult" or "I'm just not going to ever be able to do that." Desire is a strange and wonderful thing. It's where our creativity and imagination play a huge role in our daily lives. What would one possibly desire when they wake up? Food, coffee, a shower, or possible more sleep. What would one desire as they drudge through the day? Potentially a moment of peace, some work to do, or simply to get through the day. These are all basic desires that we have in our minds day to day, but what could a larger desire be in life? To get married, to have a family, to have a good job, or to explore the vast areas of our planet; these are all things that take time and commitment to achieve, but they are possibly our desires in life.

I have had many desires in my lifetime, one of which I am living out at this very moment and it wasn't an easy ride over either. My long time desire growing up was to one day move to Japan, just for a little while, to experience something new, little did I know that I would actually be here for several years with a love and passion for this beautiful country that only grows by the day. I have many other desires in the future, most, if not all of which I want to one day achieve. These are no small desires, they will take time, determination, commitment, and unrelenting pursuit to reach, but I have faith that one day I will reach them.

What are some of your smallest and biggest desires in your life? Have you reached them? Do you want to reach for them?
