The Power of Desire: How to Channel Desire into Success

3. Desire is the motivation that lies behind every action, the
power and energy that causes all movement.
Desire incites persons to make the most incredible efforts.
It can be transformed into energy for positive or negative
ends.
The high fliers in your midst are those who have channelled
this energy generated by desire into productive use,
making positive strides by way of individual achievements
admired by people around.
The energy generated by desire can be so strong that an
individual can continue striving or struggling far beyond
his/her normal limits.
4. Desire without attachment to outcome might
sound like a paradox at first. How can you
desire or want something and yet not care
about whether you get it or not?
5. “The starting point of all achievement is
desire. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak
desires bring weak results, just as a small
amount of fire makes a small amount of
heat.”
- Napoleon Hill
6. What Is YOUR Desire?
Identifying your Core Desire is the first
step in determining what you aspire for
your future. Your Core desire will take
you through trials, tribulations, and it
will ultimately test your patience.
Your Core desire will eventually lead
you to a level of Success you may have
previously conceded as unattainable.

8. Desire for Success
Desire has been identified by
psychologists as the first ingredient for
success in any endeavor.
A Greek philosopher, whose student approached to
teach him how to acquire wisdom fast was said to
have taken the student to a river. The teacher then
held the student's head and pushed it down into the
water until he, student, almost choked to death.
When the philosopher let go, he explained to the
baffled student that the desire for wisdom must be
as strong as the desire for air.
9. “We are desire. It is the essence of the human soul,
the secret of our existence. Absolutely nothing of
human greatness is ever accomplished without it.
Not a symphony has been written, a mountain
climbed, an injustice fought, or a love sustained
apart from desire. Desire fuels our search for the
life we prize. Our desire, if we will listen to it, will
save us from committing soul-suicide, the sacrifice
of our hearts on the altar of "getting by." The same
old thing is not enough. It never will be.”
- John Eldredge
10. Desire Is The Foundation Of Success
Your minds become magnetized by the
dominating thoughts which you hold in
your minds.
It is the power of these thought and
intentions that cause us to attract, like
a magnet, the forces, the people, the
circumstances of life which harmonize
with the nature of your dominating
thoughts.
This is why having a Burning Desire is
an essential element of success.
11. Burning desire is not the same as what you wish
Burning desire is not the same as what you want
Burning desire is something that it is a MUST for you
Burning desire is something that you cannot LIVE without it
12. Is YOUR Desire Strong Enough?
The necessary desire is best described as obsession. Nothing
will stand in the way, no set back will be sufficient, no
obstacle a barrier to the power of such a desire.
It is the hallmark of the great achievers throughout history,
that they have achieved their success and wealth through
unstinting desire, faith and persistence, often through much
difficulty and set-back.
Holding such desire requires
great strength of character
and self-belief, but this
power is available to anyone
who is prepared to grasp it.
13. “In order to succeed, your desire for
success should be greater than your fear of
failure”
- Bill Cosby
14. Burning Desire
Burning desire is more than a wish or a want or a dream.
Wishes, wants and dreams typically come from you, the
human individual. Burning desire is something that comes
from your spirit. It is as if your Higher Self is compelling you
toward something. Burning desire is what animates your
purpose and your values. Not necessarily what drives you
toward getting a new pair of shoes…unless that pair of
shoes stands for independence, achievement or
confidence.
15. Burning Desire
Take a moment to think about the goals you have
set for yourself.
How committed are you to achieving
these goals?
Under what conditions would you give up?
What if you could significantly increase
your desire to achieve these goals?
What if you wanted them so badly that
you knew with absolute certainty that you
would absolutely, positively never ever
give up?
16. Burning Desire
When you are truly 100% committed to
reaching your goals, you move from hoping to
know. If you want something badly enough,
then quitting is simply not an option. You
either find a way or make one. You pay the
price, whatever it takes.
17. You are what you deep, driving desire is
As your desire is, so is your will
As your will is, so is your deed
As your deed is, so is your destiny
18. You Create Desire Automatically Whenever You Challenge
Yourself! And the Way You React to a Challenge
Determines the Destiny of Your Lives.
So! When Do You Challenge Yourself?
