DESIRE – The stepping stone to success

All major achievements or success stories begin from a spark in the mind. The ability to dream and set goals is what makes the human race supreme. We always crave for luxury, more comfort and a better lifestyle- this is what keeps the mind active.

A simple example to illustrate how desires can be fulfilled is the discovery of the automobile. The sole reason for this discovery was because someone had the desire to lead a better life- in short, luxury! Have you ever thought; why are then the majority of people struggle to meet their daily requirements; be it money or time? The answer is DESIRE. It is the factor of how much more you want out of life.

There is an outstanding success rate, in people who have believed in the concept of desire and stood up for it. Most people do confuse desire with wishing. They wish to lead a better life, have a raise in the salary, get out of debt. Merely wishing will not take you places. Your dream, however small, should be embossed into your subconscious mind. Only when your dreams are imprinted in the subconscious mind, will you take the necessary steps to achieve it.

Desire is basically the stepping stone to success. In simple words, it is a never ending craving for something which will not let us lead a peaceful existence, unless satisfied!!! Desires are as vital to human beings as water is to fish! All successful people for that sake are crazy dreamers. They went out and achieved whatever they desired.

When Henry Ford had an itch in his mind to have his name on all the cars on the street – his friends thought he was insane!! When Bill Gates dreamt of having his software on every computer – people around him thought he was out of his mind! Hence, we all should be working progressively to attain our goals. It’s not mind boggling to understand the determination and will power of the brain to achieve these desires.

If you are dissatisfied with your present circumstances, it’s simply because you aren’t doing what you dreamt of doing. There are only 2 solutions for this situation.
1. Either you can program your mind to start liking the things you are doing.
2. You can intensify your desire. You will be amazed at how the subconscious mind will find a way out.
Napoleon Hill’s six ways to turn desire to gold
1.Fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. It is not sufficient merely to say "I want plenty of money" Be definite as to the amount.
2.Determine what exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. There is no such reality as something for nothing.
3.Establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire
4.Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once. Put this plan to action
5.Write out a clear, concise statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire, name the time limit for its acquisition. Describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it
6.Read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring at night, and once after arising in the morning. As you read- see and feel and believe yourselves already in possession of the money.

Guaranteed recipes to fail...

There are certain things in this world to which we cannot attach a guarantee card, say happiness, love, friendship, affection, hatred, anger and frustration. All these may be counted as emotions or state of the mind, which may even be temporary .i.e. it can be changed by external forces and incidents. And there are others which come with a guarantee; say the TV that comes with a 5 year guarantee or the refrigerator or the air conditioner or the mobile phone or anything that we get to buy in the market.         Almost all manufactured products are offered a guarantee, be it 5 years or 5000 hours or 2 lakh kilometers. All man-made things can be given a surety, while almost all god given gifts cannot. This is the reason as to why we cannot guarantee we’ll be happy even when we earn $1,000,000,000. Who knows, we might be happier as a poor man.         I have heard people state that successes and failures are states of mind and that we have the abil...

who can be a mentor ?

Mentor: [men-tawr, -ter] : noun: (1) a wise and trusted counselor or teacher. (2) an influential senior sponsor or supporter. verb (used without object) (3) to act as a mentor: She spent years mentoring to junior employees. Mentee :[men-tee] : noun: a person who is guided by a mentor. The dictionary defines a mentor and a mentee in just a few simple words, but that does not give a complete picture of the privileges and power these people have got. A Mentor is someone who gives an honest and wise advice to his/her followers. Of the many followers, the one who grasps his advice and goes ahead to use them are mentees. All of us may have a mentor, but not necessarily mentees. The reason for this being, "No one is perfect". We are all people who want to bring in perfection, be it in our personality, family relationships, work motivation, earning skill or the way we close sales. So we seek the help of a force greater than us to guide us. A mentor is someone who ...

”May I help you?”...Help is always around the corner.

To make a mistake is the best way to learn; but repeating the same mistake again and again indicates carelessness or, perhaps, even foolishness. What if you made the same mistake, but under different circumstances? No matter how smart we are, we may be pulled into a crisis without notice. The only way out, then, is to ask people around you for help. And the good news is there’ll always be someone or the other to bail you out of trouble. All you’ve to do is to ask. Most often, people hesitate in helping thinking they’ll land up in greater trouble or perhaps doubting the genuinity of the person or the situation. Once you explain your problem, stating the true facts, they’ll be more than willing to help. Thinking from the giving side, wouldn’t we do the same? Last time I traveled by train, I was fined heavily for traveling on someone else’s ticket. At that moment, I had no other option but to call up my friends and ask for help. Luckily there was someone to rescue me. One of the less...
