THE POWER OF DESIRE™
Napoleon Hill, the author of the book THINK AND GROW RICH, said in the book that "Desire is the starting point of all achievement" He also went on to say that "All accomplishments, no matter what's its nature or purpose must begin with an intense burning desire for something definite."
Desire is indispensable to success. I've never seen anyone that succeeds in any undertaken whether good or bad, without a desire. Simply put, without desire, no success!
I have observed the life of some successful men around me I know, they all have one thing in common: they're desirous people. Their successes spring from their desires. They have a desire for what they're doing and also for what they want.
According to dictionary definition, desire is "a strong wish to have or do something". It's a deep seated hunger, dissatisfaction and unfulfillment in your heart to do or have something. It's a craving, longing etc.
The indispensability of desire to success can never be overestimated. Lack of desire for something definite is one of the major factors of failure. You can't succeed in anything without desire.
Desire is the raw material for perseverance, determination, consistency etc. Without a desire, you'll be easily discouraged in your pursuit, your determination or perseverance won't last long.
Desire is like stamina, it'll keep you going in the face of adverse situations, oppositions, challenges etc.
Desire enables and empowers you to pay the price for anything you want in life.
But how do one cultivate the desire for whatever one want to do or have?
To cultivate means to grow, develop, foster, stir or turn on something.
So, to cultivate the desire for anything, you need to think on the following questions,
1. Why do you want to achieve that?
2. What do you stand to gain if you achieve that? Thinking on the why and benefits of what you want will grow, develop, foster, tend and stir your desire.
