Need could be a candidate as it means:

something that a person must have : something that is needed in order
to live or succeed or be happy

«Our experienced staff will go out of their way to meet your every need.»

It’s a bit stronger than a «desire», but some people are seeking their Holy Grail:

(informal) any desired ambition or goal — the Holy Grail of infrared astronomy (— Collins)

NB. Merriam-Webster says

often not capitalized : an object or goal that is sought after for its great significance

It also usually signifies a goal that’s particularly hard to achieve.

They are the objects of {their} desires.

Replace {their} with the appropriate possessive pronoun for the situation.
