THE DAILY MESSAGE
DESIRE. Science tells us that the eagle’s wings developed in response to the eagle’s efforts to fly. The desire which possessed the eagle was more than a mere longing—it was an “ urge.” An “ urge ” is a desire—“ plus ” and it is the plus which makes the desire achieve. Desire is the real dynamic of progress—all great achievements are desires come true. Desire has moulded civilization—built cities, towns, and homes. But it was desire plus. Desire is just longing, but desire “plus ” is desire made invincible by faith, courage, and determination. Then, desire becomes an urge, which possesses its possessor and will carry him upward on the wings of aspiration, as truly as the eagle soars away into the etheiy on the wings which grew out of/his desire to fly. Encourage your longings—dreams—and desires—hut just add that “Plus.” —M. PRESTON STANLEY.
