The Power of Absolute Desire
When we absolutely desire something, a magical force emerges that compels us to do whatever it takes.
We put up no obstacles because none exist in our minds.
Think about the difference between wanting and truly desiring.
People create endless obstacles around things they merely want.
Ever tried convincing someone to do something that wasn't their idea? They'll take five minutes just to tie their shoes.
But when it's their idea when they truly want it they're first out the door.
This is the difference between casual interest and absolute desire.
It's no problem to drive six hours to somewhere you've dreamed of visiting, but driving 40 minutes to somewhere you only moderately want to go feels like forever.
The breakthrough comes when you take time to identify what you truly desire then frankly become obsessed with it.
Whether it's a promotion at work, the body you want, or building a multimillion-dollar business, the principle remains the same.
Define your desire with crystal clarity.
Work on making yourself obsessed with nothing else but reaching that goal.
Sell yourself on it completely, and the rest becomes surprisingly manageable.
"Just wanting" something isn't enough.
We must desire it absolutely and unapologetically.
Only then will we do whatever it takes to get it and keep doing whatever it takes, no matter how long it takes.
