We all want it. "It" is many different things to different people. "It" could be freedom from the cubicle. "It" could be no more living paycheck-to-paycheck or getting yourself out of debt. Maybe your "it" is having more time for your family. But do you really want it?? How badly?
We all want things. If we could just push a button to get the things we want, we would all run out of room. Obviously, things aren't that simple. First we need to determine which things we want. Since that list would likely be long, we also need to prioritize. Which things do we need or want most immediately? Which things would have the greatest positive impact in our lives now and in the long run?
OK. We've narrowed our list down to the key couple of things that really mean something to us. So how bad do you want it? What are you willing to do to make your dreams come true? Focus on your top priority "it" for a second. What are you willing to do to today and each day until you've reached your goal?
Often, the difference between those with dreams and those who are living their dreams is the intense, burning desire to make it happen. Wishes without action are just that - wishes. If you want something bad enough, roll up your sleeves, remove all obstacles and let nothing stand in your way. Using laser intensity, do whatever needs to be done to move your dream forward.
Working too hard/too many hours to work on change? Consider how you could possibly find one hour each week to keep pushing the ball down the field. No money to start that dream project you've always wanted to do? What have you done today to find the money you need. It only takes a small indication of success to ignite your spirit. Once you feel a little momentum, the excitement of actually acheiving your dream starts to grow. Focus enough thought and effort on making your dream come true and you will discover that burning desire.
Do you just want "it" or have you chosen to make "it" happen?
