If you desire something which is impossible, you are ensuring lifetime frustration for yourself

If you desire something which is impossible, you are ensuring lifetime frustration for yourself. Let me give you some examples of such desires

1. Want to be another person
2. Want to have a different gender
3. Want to be born from a different parents
4. Want to be born in different country
5. Want to be born in a different religion
6. Want to be younger than what you are

Instead, I would like to advise you to desire what is possible and then follow your desires with all your courage and conviction. If your desires are possible, the same desires can lift you to higher level and give you so much of a joy. You must rather-

1. Imbibe the qualities of a person who you wish you were
2. Imbibe the positive attribute of the other gender without being ashamed of your own gender
3. Become a parent to your children as you wish your parents should have been to you
4. Visit a country of your dream to know the realist. Shift there if you truly love it.
5. Understand the pros and cons of religions and choose the best religion for you
6. Keep growing and keep learning new things in life to keep yourself young and vibrant

Desiring something which you can’t ever fulfill is a waste of time and the greatest source of misery. Please remember these words of ‘Serenity Prayer’ by Reinhold Niebuhr

God grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change;

courage to change the things I can;

and wisdom to know the difference.
