There is no such thing as can't, only won't. If you're qualified, all it takes is a burning desire to accomplish, to make a change. Go forward, go backward. Whatever it takes! But you can't blame other people or society in general. It all comes from your mind. When we do the impossible we realize we are special people.
Jan Ashford
I read a Buddhist proverb `if we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is to keep on walking'. There are two basic criteria for success: setting goals and working for the same. The size of the goal is our choice and the amount of work is also our choice. But the result is not our choice! It is decided by the size of the goal and the matching effort level!!
No one can make us to set lofty goals nor can anyone make us to work hard enough. Again it's our choice. Isn't common sense that once we've exercised our own choice, we should not blame others for our plight?
It all starts as a small spark and grows into a ball of fire in our mind. Our sincere desire to have the goal realized fuels the ball of fire until it occupies our entire mind. The more and more we think about the goal and mentally visualize the same, the more it becomes an obsession in our mind. This process is what sustains our effort level. Napoleon Hill said `the object is to want…and to become so determined to have it that you convince yourself you will have it'. This process of self convincing makes the goal a life and death issue.
The following steps are relevant to make an ordinary desire a `burining desire':
v Seek an environment which will boost your desire.
v Surround yourself with such people who will fuel the fire inside you.
v Feed your mind with such facts and information which will convince you that you deserve your desire.
v Empower your mind with healthy thoughts and positive energy.
v Go away from and avoid negative people.
v Dress for success and internal energy.
v Programme your mind to sustain your effort level.
v Visualize, visualize, visualize and visualize!
Do the impossible and prove yourself that you are a special person!
