What next?
Don’t be afraid that there won’t be anything left to do for you when you control those desires.
- Steven Pressfield describes this in his book War of Art. He describes those desires as resistance to reach your goals and walk the path you are meant to walk.

Just think of it as the fog that blocks your vision. Clearing up desires will remove the brain fog.
