Excessive Desire

My desire is constantly morphing and evolving, and keeping up with and satisfying it is challenging. However, I could find a more peaceful and fulfilling existence by taming and eventually eliminating it. As I observe my desire, the foundational desire related to survival is necessary and not an issue; the excessive desire is. So, what does my life look like without excessive desire? Could I be even more productive, responsible for myself and my family, and positively contribute to society?
