Vincent T Lombardi said “The difference b/w a successful person and others is not lack of strength, not lack of knowledge, but rather in lack of desire”
Have U been to a seminar? Did you get some very useful, info, new challenges etc. The average person comes away from a meeting and (hopefully, if it is a dynamic speaker) says “Wow that is great, I’m going to change this and do that!” No! It is like going to that seminar and then putting the material or workbook on your shelf and never looking at it again.
Do you use a body spray/deodorant? What happens when you use it .It smells great however over time, it wears off, and next day you smell lousy again, of course that is if you did not bathe! that's when your "AXE" effect comes into picture. My dear friends most times Motivation does the same thing..It lasts for about 24 hours and slowly wears off
One of the key to success is your self motivation-A burning desire that drives us every day to change the world and destiny! It is our desire for a better life, better growth and better future.
Desire is sure a word, but it is much richer than the word “want” though they are essentially the same. “Want”, though, sounds like you could take it or leave it. “Desire” says, “I have to have it!”Desire, is “want” with a fire under it.
One day we may be passionate about building our career or nurturing our relationship and then, the next day, we find ourselves in the “want” camp again. The key to keeping on is to re-light the fire under want so it roars into a raging fire of desire. As Swami Vivekananda says”All power is within you; you can do anything and everything. Believe in that; do not believe that you are weak. Stand up and express the divinity within you” So what do we do? Simple we light the fire! So to build the fire of your desire we essentially require just 3 things.
1st is The WOOD: Keep a clear mental picture of the goal. The picture of the goal is like the wood in a fire. It is the raw material. Know what your goal is and what it looks like.
2nd is The FUEL: Keep a list, if simply just a mental one, of all of the benefits of pursuing and reaching your goal. Make them as “sense” oriented as possible. “See” the benefits.”Hear” them.”Touch” them. This is like the fuel that we add to a fire to get it going
3rd is The MATCH: Keep yourself active! This is the match: Action! Even when you don’t feel like it, get yourself to act and soon you will see the fire burning because you have ignited the dream! The more desire you have the more the fire burns.
Next time when you go for a seminar just remember 3 things. 1st: Define your goal cos a goal without a plan is a wish. 2nd: Take small steps and celebrate small success. 3rd: Practice (3) cos practice makes man perfect.
Eventually the fire will begin to die out. Here is where you throw the wood again, pour some more fuel, and if needed, strike another match. Don’t let the fire go out though, because it is easier to continually throw wood and fuel on an already burning fire than it is to start one up again.
After reading this blog the next time you all go to a seminar, don’t just go home and say “This will work, I can do it!”Have a plan,(Write it down read it again and again keep telling yourself it will happen it is happening follow your plan (check it out see the destination and keep working towards it) and Slowly but surely see your goal change to reality.
Remember: “The idea is 10% and the implementation is 90%, but you cannot teach pigs to fly no matter how long the runway is” Keep the fire on.
