Desire - Have You Got What it Takes to Reach Your Ultimate Goals?This is deliberately intended as a direct question to push your emotional buttons. Have you got what it takes to reach your goal, or hopefully, goals? It is important to break up larger and bolder goals, into smaller, more immediately doable goals. However, I am again, going to ask if you have a burning desire in your belly? This is a vital question to answer, as it will dictate your likely hood of success. In addition, if you are in the unfortunate position of not having set bold goals, you need to seriously dedicate a full half day to just sitting down quietly, and start writing. Do not stop until you have filled as many pages as you have, and literally poured out your deepest desires onto the page. It is also important to not limit yourself at this point, and write what you really want to achieve, even if you do not have the means or knowledge of how you will actually reach your goal. That is immaterial at this point. To understand this better, many bold thinkers, both past and present, have started on various projects, even though they have not known every step of the journey they need to take. In many cases, it is mainly a case of taking a determined start- actually sitting down, and just starting to do whatever your goal entails. Let me tell you, that by starting, you have already jumped over a huge hurdle, as many people suffer from procrastination, borne from a fear that they do not have every duck lined up in a row. It is a hard point to explain, but I have found that through my experience, when ever I start a project, I find that the people I need to meet, or 'things I need to happen' start to happen for me, as long as I am active in completing my goals. I have in fact, found that a journal, or diary of events to do, as well as events accomplished can be a real eye opener. You will not see much progress in a day or maybe, even a week, but when you take a global view after a six month period, or a year, you will be amazed at the achievements you have accomplished. This is a point well worth taking careful note of, as I guarantee that the majority of successful people are action takers, and I know that by starting to take action, you form a momentum, as well as find, through what I'll call natural universal laws, that events start to take place for you, even though you may not have had all the answers to begin with. Coupled with the above point, your true desire, or single minded determination, will bring forth the answers or information you seek, to continue on your journey. When you have a white hot desire, that is only fuelled by your determination to succeed, you will find the answers to your problems as you progress, and each problem, in itself, becomes a gem of knowledge to draw on later. |
