GIBBERISH VS FLUENT DESIRES
If you are not clear about what you want, you can never really have it. Desire with no clear object of desire is actually confused desire. So while some people have fluent desires, many people have very gibberish desires. By gibberish desires i mean those desires that you yourself don’t understand. Its a lack of clarity when it comes to what you really want in life.

So think with me here — How many things have you done out of gibberish desires? How many things have you done with mixed and conflicted emotions? Friends, when part of you wants something and part of you is not sure, that is gibberish and that lack of clarity in terms of desire is what ultimately makes you settle for easy things. It can actually make you settle for anything. Lack of clarity in terms of desire can also make you avoid what you really want especially if its hard to get it.
