Desire:
The Best Way To Start
“The
starting point of all achievement is DESIRE.
Keep this constantly in mind.
Weak
desire brings weak results, just as a small
fire makes a small amount of heat.”
Napoleon Hill
When you intend to start up something that is worth
awhile, you must have the strong desire to start as this has remained the
starting point of every achievement. Hoping and wishing will make no sense to
acquiring what you desired. Whatever business you plan to go into requires a
pulsating desire to transcend above.
Before you planned going to school, have you
ever desired to be educated? Before you planned studying medicine, have you
ever desired to be a medical doctor? Before you planned going to Bible School
or any Ministerial School, have you ever desired to preach the gospel? Before
you planned applying for a job, have you ever desired to work? Amongst other
discoveries as will be stated later is that the lack of desire is because many
people strive to live on another person’s dream – they live they whole life trying
to fulfill the dreams of their parents, uncles or siblings. Know this; when you
live trying to fulfill someone’s dream, you lack the desire to start yours.
Imbibing an all-consuming desire to succeed
demand several factors such as;
1.
Commitment
Commitment is a very vital tool to succeeding
in your desires. Nothing can possibly stand on your way beyond the limit you
are committed to allow it.
For any desire to succeed, you must be
committed to everything that’s able and capable to make it work.
2.
Living a
Purpose-driven Life
Definiteness of purpose remains the starting
point for all success — the man who knows exactly what he wants… has no
difficulty in believing in his own desires and ability to succeed. Napoleon
Hill said; “if you think you can you are right and if you think you
can’t, you are also right”. What drives people differ from individual to
individual and for your desires to end in fruitful result, you must live on
purpose. Don’t do things that will slow the speed towards achieving that
business you intended to start.
3.
Being
Focused
Your direction in life is controlled by what
you desire. If you don’t desire anything strong enough to keep on course, you
will be easily distracted because life comes with a whole lot of things that
will distract you from getting started and when you give in to it, you give up
on yourself then life will now offer you a goal to fight for. A friend of mine,
Peace Kalu said; “life is like a farm
land, whether you cultivate it or you don’t, something must definitely come out
of it”. Being focused is the only way of initiating what grows out of your
life. When you are focused, you don’t lack direction at every point in your
life but when you lack focus towards where you are going, you end up finding
yourself where you never liked to be.
4.
Information
(Being Knowledgeable)
The desire to be
successful is what everybody craves for but many lacks the obsessive spirit to
become because they lacked information on how to start. If you lack
information, you will produce a deformed desire. If you lack information, you
will keep awake over a negative and most times an unfruitful desire. For your
desires to succeed, learn new things every day to make it work.
5.
God
The God-factor is a very important factor in
initiating a successful desire. Nobody succeeds outside God but everybody can
succeed in-and-with God. The Bible said; “in
everything you do, acknowledge Him and He will make your way prosperous”.
Involving God in every little detail of your
life is a way of asking Him to work on the abundance of your heart. When the
abundance of your heart is at right, your heart desires positive things and
your mouth speaks good. Your life takes up a new meaning when God is involved.
New meaning includes good starting; it includes good success in business and a
fruitful end.
