What do you crave? What do you dream about? What ignites your passion and stirs a fire in your belly? What is your burning desire?
And why do you need to be crystal clear about this?
If your reason is not big enough or your desire not strong enough, you won’t do the work necessary or persist long enough to achieve what you want. You’ll give up at the first or second roadblock. It’s that simple. As Napoleon Hill wrote...
“Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.”
How badly do you want to fulfill your destiny, to live a life of purpose and passion, to
achieve what you dream about? And since confidence and courage are absolute
necessities to all that, how much are you willing to do to build your confidence and
access your powerful courage?
If our dreams are big and exciting enough, they will translate into a burning desire, in
other words, your big “why” and a burning desire and a big enough reason is what you
need to really make things happen in your life. Nothing happens without desire and it all
starts with a big and exciting dream.
Here’s an example of what I mean by burning desire.
Have you heard those stories of women who are able to lift a car in order to save a child? Or the one I read recently about a 22 year old girl lifting a BMW off of her pinned father?
It’s adrenaline of course that gives them the super human strength, but what drives such a massive surge of adrenaline in the first place? It’s the sheer desire, the drive to save someone that matters to him or her. Try lifting a car without such a powerful reason. You won’t be able to. Such is the importance of burning desire to achieve awesomeness – to achieve what would otherwise be considered impossible.
How badly do you want to fulfill your destiny?
Success comes to those who dare to dream. When your dream is big and exciting
enough, it will drive your purpose and there is no fulfillment in life without purpose and
living up to our individual full potential. So let’s start dreaming big and exciting enough
dreams that fuel your passion and spark those flames of desire. How are you at
dreaming? Do you go for it or do you hold back because you don’t want to dream about
things that seem unattainable or unachievable for you? Do you have a big dream or do
you believe that the life you are living right now is your destiny so what’s the point of
dreaming?
In the next Blog post, I am going to give you some great exercises to help you Dream a
Bigger and more exciting dream! With love,
