How bad do you want it?

Hi their,

Eric Thomas — 'When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you'll be successful.'

The above quote is also parallel to this, if wishes were horses, beggars would ride. Many times we wish for things in life and don't really desire them. The summary of the quote above is just one word DESIRE. Even the scriptures says, whatever you desire when you pray.... That's where it begins, desire is the starting point to achievement of any goal. That's the first principle.

Wishes doesn't get the job done, it's a pulsating desire to do something that makes it happen. The graveyard is filled with many people who have died, wishing for many things in life and ended up with not getting it done, they carried those dreams to their grave. That must not happen to you.

Those who have made a mark in life are people who had a pulsating desire towards accomplishing a particular goal and went all the way in getting it done. Life doesn't give us our shoulds, 'I should be rich by 30', 'I should buy my own house', 'I should go get a degree', ' I should have my own business'.

No! you have to develop a new vocabulary, where you replace those shoulds with musts. Start saying,  'I must be rich by 30', I must get a degree', 'I must have my own business'. How does that sound?That's more binding upon us that the shoulds. Musts are products of a pulsating desire to get a thing done and that is what life gives us, it delivers to our doorsteps our musts.

Many people in life only wish to be successful but they don't desire it, they don't want it as bad as they want to breathe, that's why they can easily throw it off when they meet with little challenges along their path. What life does is, it tests how bad you want something, life knows that most  people never really want something, they have set aside a plan B, those dreams of theirs is not their priority, they would rather desire to just be comfortable and not take risks and be at their comfort zones than pursue those dreams of theirs.

Until those dreams becomes a must in your life, you can't make it happen. Stop wishing for things to happen, make plans towards making it happen. Pursue that one goal, that one desire till its fulfilled  don't quit, don't lower your standards. You can change strategy in implementing that dream but don't quit on that goal. And eventually you will get it, if you really really want it as bad as you want to breathe.

Have an exciting day ahead.
