Want, or desire, arises when you are not happy. Have you seen this? When you are very happy then there is contentment. Contentment means no want.
If our mind is pure, our desires get manifested quickly.
What puts you on the road is your desire to enjoy. What brings you home is being in love
Your desire for perfection is the cause of anger. Leave room for imperfection. Perfection in action is almost impossible.
A goal or cause in life, will help you come out of your hunger for insatiable desires.
