Achievement is measured in many ways. How do you measure yours? Furthermore, what is the source of your achievement? take 3 people that have been remembered for different things.
Napolean Hill, Tony Robbins, and Mother Theresa:
Three different goals, three different missions, and three different outcomes. Yet, there is one thing that they all share. There was a burning desire within them to accomplish their mission.
Burning Desire?
Wayne dyers explains it this way: "when you become truly inspired, all you have to do is manage the coincidences that happen in your life."
So become inspired about something. Too often, do we entertain the thought of something, but never associate emotion to it.
The contrarian code states that "You cannot feel your way into action, you have to act your way into feeling."
Napolean Hill was told that his child was completely Deaf, and that he needed to be placed in a special school and would never live a normal life. Mr. Hill did not accept this, and had a burning desire to give his child the most "normal" life that he could. Everyday, he worked with his son. Stamping on the floor furiously so that his son could sense vibration. He taught him how to read lips, and worked with different communication methods. Long story short, turns out the doctors were incorrect, and the hearing was not totally gone. With a simple hearing aid, Mr. Hill's son could hear! now, if Hill would have accepted the Dr. opinion, and done nothing about it, his son would not live the normal life that he came to live.
Tony Robbins came from a unique situation as well. Three fathers, and time spent as a janitor, gave him a burning desire to radically change his life. He went to work for a man named Jim Rohn, and modeled himself after his success. Within one year, Tony went from making a little over 33,000 dollars to over 1 million dollars. He found a way to help people maintain a peak state. To help others find their Burning desire within, so they could accomplish what they wanted to accomplish.
Mother Theresa is listed as one of the most influential people to ever walk the planet. She promoted the feeling of belonging through God and his teachings. her work in the streets of India may never be matched. her burning desire was one that she passed on very casually. In a radio interview, she was asked how the DJ could help her. After refusing all of his monetary suggestions she told him . " Go out there to a stranger that thinks he is alone, and convince him that he is not."
What a profound notion. Not worried about money, fame, status, or anything else, but to have a burning desire to change the world one person at a time.
Why the examples?
What is it that you once felt passionately about?
What was it that you thought should be changed?
Did you do something about it?
Did you let it go?
Find that reason, talent, passion inside of yourself and let it start to burn.
let it bring you up to new levels. Stop worrying about the how's and the what if's. Find your Burning Desire and let it consume you.
Listen to Les Brown explain it to you.... Enjoy
