You Must Complete Your Desires

IF YOU WORK AS HARD AT THE TASK YOU DESIRE TO DO AS THE TASK YOU MUST DO, YOU WILL GO PLACES. – Napoleon Hill

Take action, that is the only way to get things done.

As Tony Robbins says, turn your shoulds into must musts or you will be shoulding all over yourself.

Too many people take as much time talking about what they want to do as it would take to get it done. Many people and Politicians, including John McCain, think that talking and making people feel good is the same thing as getting things done.

Our brains have a part of memory called mirror neurons. Mirror Neurons help us relate to each other, mirror neurons help with empathy. Mirror neurons also can make people think they are part of teams or clubs they aren’t part of. One of the reasons people get so involved in TV Sports is because their associations caused by their mirror neurons in overdrive. Instead of getting a rush of accomplishment from playing the sport of football they are getting the same rush from wearing the jersey and yelling at the TV while beer in hand.

Take the time to break the bonds of talking the talk and start walking the walk. The same amount of time and effort goes into both, why not have completed the task instead of saying, someday I’ll get around to it.


Desire: The Starting Point of Achievement

April 2, 2008

Everyone has a burning desire. Your friends and family may make fun of you about your “silly” dreams but we won’t. Think about what you would do with your life if you win the lottery. After all the travel and partying you will have to get back to doing something with your life. What will it be?

You will remember what your burning desire is after you play this game.

Determine an exact goal. It maybe to gain wealth, gain health, drop fat or build muscle or something all together different. Write down and develop a specific goal. How much money do you want to make? How will you feel when you are healthy? What body fat percentage will you be at when you have burnt enough? How will you look like in the mirror when you have reached your goal? What will you be able to do that you can’t do right now that will make you know that you have hit your goal?

Establish exactly what you will give to get your goal. Will you give more time to workout at the gym? Will you give extra money to your creditors to pay your loans off faster? Will you give yourself better food to shed those unwanted pounds? Will you give yourself more quality time so you can celebrate the success you are achieving?

Set a Definite Time for your goal to be finished. Have a calender hanging in a place where you can see it every day. Break your big goal into mini-goals so you can track your progress. Sometimes goals are too big and with mini-goals you can see if you are slacking or going for the unrealistic at this time.

Write this plan out and start today. On day 1 think of a mini-goal that is real simple that may only take 5 minutes to do and check it off as completed.

Read your goal out loud like you mean it at least twice a day. Stand in front of the bathroom mirror before brushing your teeth in the morning and at night. Repeat your goal with feeling and confidence knowing that it will be done. The more you speak your goals the more you will become your goals.

Life gives you what you ask so ask for your world of desires.

Get ready to receive because what you ask for will show up on your doorstep.

Be careful what you wish for because you will get it.

Imagine yourself successful. Think of all the positive things that will happen to you because of your success.

Reflect on your Past Successes. Remember how you satisfied you felt when you hit that last goal. Picture it in your mind, make that picture bigger and brighter. Think about the praise you heard from your friends when you completed your goal. Think about how good you felt when you completed your goal.

Set Definite Goals. The most successful people are those who are those who stay the course but are nimble enough to dodge and weave around unforeseen events. Have the balls to stretch for the sky but know when ego is getting in the way of success.

Respond to life with a positive outlook. Perception is everything. What we give to the universe is what we get. Playas only attract more playas. The only shortcut is to get go and let the flow begin.
