Desire

DESIRE

The dictionary describes “desire” as “to wish or long for; crave; want” and “an expressed wish; request”

Napoleon Hill says that desire is the starting point of ALL ACHIEVMENT.

I myself have never felt desire so strong than I did in the year 2008. My desire consumed me day and night. I slept, ate and breathed desire. In my mind, I already had the object of my desire. Everything I done throughout the day revolved around the idea that my desire had already taken form. Never a single doubt crept into my mind. And on October 21, 2008, my desire came into existence.

I have never felt such a strong desire for anything until then, and I have not felt it since that time. But I DO know what the POWER OF DESIRE can do. I have seen with my own eyes, felt with my own being, exactly what the POWERS OF THE UNIVERSE can do when your desire is strong enough.

How can a person reach that point? Napoleon Hill says that any idea, plan, or purpose may be placed in the mind through repetition of thought. He also goes on to tell us that we are what we are, because of the vibrations of thought which we pick up and register, through the stimuli of our daily environment.

He uses the example of Edwin C. Barnes. Mr. Barnes had a burning desire, one consuming obsession of his life, to become a business associate of Thomas Edison. Barnes’ desire was not a hope! It was not a wish! It was a keen, pulsating, desire, which transcended everything else. It was a DEFINATE!

Edwin C. Barnes stood by his desire until it became the dominating obsession of his life- and - finally a fact. He left himself no possible way of retreat. He had to win or perish!

In “Think & Grow Rich”, Napoleon Hill gives 6 practical steps, in which desire for riches can be transmuted into it’s financial equivalent. .

Procrastination

Procrastination comes in many forms. It can have long-term devastating effects. People have suffered financial loss/ruin, loss of health, loss of family and the list goes on and on.

Procrastination is NOT lack of organizational skills and/or time management. As a matter of fact, a procrastinator can be highly organized.

Why would anyone having this information choose to procrastinate? Because for most people it is not a choice. It is a way of life. For most people, putting off today what can be done tomorrow, gives them a sense of accomplishment because they know they are only one day away from their goal. Problem is, that day never comes. They spend more time creating excuses and alibis than they do getting the job done.

You read stories everyday about the man that dies from a heart attack because he kept putting off changing his diet until it was too late. Or how about the criminal who ends up in prison because he wanted to wait one more day before walking the right path. The gambler, the drug addict, the abusive partner?

OLD MAN PROCRASTINATION: Affects millions of people everyday. Robs individuals of their time, freedom and life. It causes sickness and disease and takes away a persons self-worth. There is absolutely NOTHING positive about procrastination. It affects all walks of life regardless of status, race or gender.

How can a person avoid or break free from the procrastination trap? There are tons of “self-help” books and programs out there but the bottom line is going to be self-development. Here is a few ways to stop the silent killer. Future articles will discuss these in further detail.

1. Desire

2. Decision

3. Organized Planning

4. Persistence

Many Network Marketers find themselves failing business after business due to procrastination. They lack the skills they need in order to be persistent. This e-book “Success in 10 Steps” explains how procrastination is death to your business and what you can do to stop it.
