Chapter 2: Desire – The Starting Point of All Achievement
1.
Desire is not a hope! It is not a wish! It is a
keen, pulsating desire, which transcended everything else. It is definite.
2.
Choose a definite goal, placed all your energy, all
your will power, all your effort, everything into the goal.
3.
Stand by your desire until it became the dominating
obsession of your life – and – finally, a fact.
4.
Leave yourself no possible way of retreat. You have
to win or perish.
5.
Every person who wins in any undertaking must be
willing to burn his ships and cut all sources of retreat. Only by doing so can
one is sure of maintaining that state of mind known as a burning desire to win.
6.
Every human being who reaches the age of
understanding of the purpose of money; wishes for it. Wishing will not bring
riches.
7.
But desiring riches with a state of mind that
becomes an obsession, then planning definite ways and means to acquire riches,
and backing those plans with persistence which does not recognize failure, will
bring riches.
8.
Desire = definiteness of purpose.
9.
Desire is more than a goal setting:
a.
Your desire is your road map to achieving an
overall career objective.
b.
Your goals represent specific steps along the way.
c.
Having a desire for your life has a synergetic
effect on your ability to achieve your goals.
d.
As you become better at what you do, you devote all
of your resources toward reaching your objective, you become more alert to
opportunities, and you reach decisions more quickly.
10. Your purpose
will become your life; it will permeate your mind, both conscious and
subconscious.
11.
6 ways to turn desires into gold:
a.
1st à Fix in your
mind the exact amount of money you desire.
b.
2nd à Determine
exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire.
c.
3rd à Establish a
definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire.
d.
4th à Create a
definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you are
ready or not, to put this plan into action.
e.
5th à Write out a
clear, concise statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire, name the
time limit for its acquisition, state what you intend to give in return for the
money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it.
f.
6th à Read your
written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring at night, once
after arising in the morning.
g.
As you read – see and feel and believe yourself
already in possession of the money.
12. If you truly
desire money so keenly that your desire is an obsession, you will have no
difficulty in convincing yourself that you will acquire it.
13. The object is
to want money, and to become so determined to have it that you convince
yourself you will have it.
14. Only those who
become “money conscious” ever accumulate great riches.
15.
Money consciousness means that the mind has become
so thoroughly saturated with the desire for money, that one can see one’s self
already in possession of it.
16. There is a
tendency for the reader to assume that it is enough for them just to
intellectually understand a concept.
17.
Let us remind you that many of the most successful
people whom you admire did not think they were too smart or too sophisticated
to follow Hill’s instructions.
18. Just do it!
19. Every great
leader, from the dawn of civilization down to the present, was a dreamer.
20. Success
requires no apologies, failure permits no alibis.
21. If the thing
you wish to do is right, and you believe in it, go ahead and do it.
22. Dreams,
followed by failures, followed by lessons learned, then success.
23. Thomas Edison à An example of
“Practical dreamers do not quit!”
24. Dreams are the
seedlings of reality.
25. Remember, all
those who succeed in life get off to a bad start, and pass through many
heartbreaking struggles before they arrive.
26. If you’ve been
thinking about your losses to the exclusion of everything else. The more you
concentrate on them, the more you attract other losses. Stop thinking about
them, and make up your mind that you are going to benefit from your experience.
27. Cultivate a
friendship with the “other” you, so no matter what you are doing, you are
allied with someone who shares our goals.
28. The ways of
Infinite Intelligence – men are sometimes forced to undergo all sorts of
punishment before discovering their own brains, and their own capacity to
create useful ideas through imagination.
29. Learn the art
of transmuting your strongest emotions into dreams of a constructive nature.
30. No one is
defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality.
31. There is a
difference between wishing for a thing and being ready to receive it. No one is
ready for a thing, until he believes he can acquire it. The state of mind must
be belief, not mere hope or wish.
32. Open-mindedness
is essential for belief. Closed minds do not inspire faith, courage and belief.
33. Our only
limitations are those we set up in our own minds.
34. Desire backed
by faith knows no such word as impossible.
35. Every
adversity brings with it the seed of an equivalent advantage.
36. We refused to
accept Nature’s error and, by persistent desire, we had induced Nature to
correct that error, through the only practical means available.
37. If Mother
Nature bends to the will of desire, is it logical that men can defeat a burning
desire.
38. Nature wraps
up in the impulse of strong desire “that something” which recognizes no such
word as impossible, and accepts no such reality as failure.
