I love desires. Desire feels very good to me. Like the happy, ripe, childlike anticipation of all the wonderfully abundant delicious experiences I fully expect and accept, every day, every moment. There's no reason for me to think they will dry up, because Who I Am is infinite abundance.

Maybe you are thinking of desire as the contrast between the unwanted stuff or conditions that you have, and the "someday, somehow" band-aid that you believe would fix your problems. (And of course part of that is believing that your problems are really problems ). I can see how that would feel like lack pain or lack.

Perhaps rather than trying to get rid of desire, you'd like to try on a new perspective around it? One which has you recognizing the unlimited joy and abundance that you truly are. With this perspective, you'll REALize that your desires are simply delightful truths about yourself that already exist within you, and you don't need to wait or do anything in order to be satisfied or fulfilled.

Another suggestion is to examine your desires deeply for your inner truth: what is it you will really have if you have what you think you lack? Keep asking that question, unconcealing more and more layers of your desire until you reach your heart's desire -- the quality, condition, or value that inspires you deep within the more apparent surface desire.

Belle, I think you would really enjoy the book, "Breaking Loose from the Money Game."
