Dreams Fuel Desire, Desire Fuels Success
"Once you have rooted your desire so firmly in your mind that you think about it all the time, your desire becomes a commitment."- Art Williams
When you make a commitment, you've got to burn all your bridges, so that retreat simply isn't an option. It is important to realize that desire is the one element that keeps you going when thing get rough. It is the one element that separates the losers who give up from the winners who do whatever it takes to reach their dreams. Take sports for example. Every great athlete has an insatiable desire to win. It's something deep down in his or her gut that burns from within. I think Vince Lombardi said it best with his famous quote: "Winning isn't everything, but wanting to win is."
Can you remember the last time you had such a huge desire for something that you could barely sleep at night? If not, you better start dreaming!
The most important, stand out, characteristic of successful people is that they just want it more. They want it so bad they can't stand it. Because of this desire, they make it happen. They figure out how to become successful at whatever their dream may be. When their minds tell them they can't, something deep within them tells them that they must.
The best part about having the passion and dream to become successful is that you do not need any excessive education or talent. You can have a great education and a ton of talent, but you won't make it without desire. You can have a great experience, but you still won't make it without desire. DESIRE is the secret, but if desire is the secret to success, then what is the secret to desire? Dreams are the fuel that fire desire. Dreams provide the motivation to get back up when you're knocked down. They solidify the belief in yourself that allows you to say "I can, I will, I must."
Dreams provide the energy, life, and fulfillment you experience every day. If you don't have dreams and actively pursue them, part of you will die inside. There is no question about it. When you look up the success in the dictionary, the most commonly accepted definition states that success is the steady progression toward a worthwhile goal or dream.
Dreams are the key to success. I want you to start to imagine the most that you think is possible for your life. Remember, don't settle for mediocrity! No matter what your current level of thinking might be, you are most likely dreaming too small. Build big dreams! Big dreams that inspire you! If your dream doesn't scare you, it's probably not big enough.
The most important thing to remember is that desire is not genetic. It is not hereditary. Desire is something that must be created and strengthened from within. We all have the same amount of desire when we are born and as we grow the desire fizzles out in most of us. But, there is no such thing as a person with a low level of desire. There are only people who have small, insignificant dreams.
In order to make a radical shift in your level of success you must first make a radical shift to break out of your common thinking that you have been trapped in. Dream about the tremendous opportunities that life makes available to you on a daily basis!
Success lies in the ability to develop dreams, chase them, believe in them and achieve them. You can dream of anything you want. But, start dreaming today! Dream of wealth, dream of love, dream of happiness, dream of personal freedom. It doesn't matter what you dream about, you just have to have a dream. When you find your dreams, nothing will stand in your way of achieving them. You will push yourself further than you ever have before and put yourself in situations you never dreamed you would. You will never know how far you can go until you push yourself too far. Push yourself to the edge and you will quickly realize your dreams have no boundaries.
