Attribution note
Indonesian: 'A sincere and pure desire will surely be granted.' Possibly a loose translation of an autobiography sentiment about earnest longing, but no matching primary line was found; unverifiable as written.
Likely origin: Indonesian-language line; no primary Gandhi source located
Review the attribution sourceAbout this quote
No primary Gandhi source backs this line, though it circulates widely. The kernel is sound: a wish that's both honest and free of mixed motives tends to organize your effort around it, so you notice openings and keep moving. It's less magic than clarity — you pursue what you truly want.
When to use it
- A runner who genuinely wants a marathon plans her weeks around it and keeps showing up at dawn.
- A would-be nurse, sure of the goal, saves for tuition and studies nights without being pushed.
- Someone set on learning guitar keeps it on a stand by the couch and plays a little every evening.
