InJoy has good advice, feelings/emotions are fairly accurate internal reactions to thoughts that are in-tune with 'YOU' or out of tune with 'YOU'.

Taking proactive and decisive action to 'develop' your core and to define those absolutes that make up the foundation of a person is an important aspect to the 'true you'. You have so much freedom to define these absolutes, that you can even mold what kind of experiences you desire.

Also, the 'form' of desires are really just different masks put on by one actor - fulfillment, joy, happiness, higher-self, true-self, broader-self, whatever you want to call it. The function of desires is to animate.
