CHANGE YOUR MINDSET, CHANGE YOUR LIFE
A lot of people claim they know the secret to success. They will claim it is motivation, ambitiousness, positivity, conscientiousness, and all sorts of other abstract nouns. However, they are missing the true vital ingredient, the real key that will get you started on the road to success to begin with your DESIRE. It comes from within.
It does not matter how hardworking you are, how much time you spend at work, but if you do not particularly want to climb to the top it just will not happen. Anything along these lines is a competition essentially, and if you do not truly desire success then you’ll still be going against a whole lot of people who do. You can not have motivation without desire, but even if you could, where would you be directing that motivation?
It is the desire that will help you act as the motivator as you put in more time after work. And the more you desire something the more you’ll work to get it. And as you do you’ll find that you subconsciously even help to navigate through the challenges.
Of course, not all desires will work. Firstly your desire needs to be realistic, and secondly, your desire needs to be concrete. A desire to fly for example probably is only going to end with disappointment unless you are from Krypton, and a desire to ‘be more successful’ is an abstract aim that’s quite subjective.
How to Find Your Desire?
Some people do not seem to have any desire at all and these people can be quite aimless in their lives. They aren’t going to progress because they do not know how they want to progress and they do not know what they want from life. The thing is, everyone has something they want, and it is just a matter of finding out what it is.
If you are struggling to know what your desire is, then think of your life now as it is. Now think of how it could be improved. Now think of how your life would look if you had everything the way you want it.
That’s pretty desirable, right? Maybe you have got a big house and kids, or a small house and great artistic job, or a high-flying businessman.
Now you know what your desires are, write them down and break them down into smaller steps and priorities. Suddenly you have direction and motivation.
