There is a Malbim that makes a differentiation between wanting and desiring. 

I desire to view tuma, but I DON'T WANT to. 
What is my WHY? 
WHY do I do what I do? WHY do I get up everyday? WHY do I got to work or learn or whatever?

That's our WANT-
he tuma is our desires. 

We must remember what our WANT is; our WHY. Then we can differentiate between the tayva (desire) and our lives (WANT).

This idea hit me from listening to this shiur:

And the WHY is an idea from Eric Thomas, Motivational Speaker.
