Whats Up?

It is spring. Summer is quickly approaching. What season are you in with your life. Where are you at? What's going on? What's up?

I like to do polling and see the mental states of people. The pulse I am getting is that some of you are perfectly happy with where you are in life. You are feeling good and pleased with your life. I am happy to hear that.

Unfortunately most of you are just getting by. You are apathetic. You would like some change but you just can not get around to it.

You lack motivation. You lack desire. You are treading water. You are putting in effort to stay where you are even though you are disappointend with where you are.

If you think about this you will realize it makes no sense. By treading water and putting in effort you are wasting time and energy.

The time and energy you put into staying where you are can be used to go somewhere else. What is that about?

You are motivated to stay where you are. You desire to stay where you are. You are disappointed with where you are.

What's up with that?

Isn't it time you stopped this charade? Isn't it time for you to make a change? Isn't it time for you to get your act in gear?

If you are depressed then get a handle on it now.

If you are procrastinating then learn how to stop.

If you need to get your head on straight get going.

You can do it.

Desire

"The starting point of all achievement is desire. Weak desire brings weak results."*Napoleon Hill

To desire is to wish for; to crave; to aspire to; to long for.

Desire is a hot emotion. It is a strong emotion. It is one of those emotions that you can drive you nuts. It can also be a strong motivator to get what you want. How many times have you achieved something becasuse you desired it? Was it easy to get what you desired? Probably easier to get what you desired than something you wanted to or needed.

Desire can get you moving. Desire can also help you separate what you really want and what you think you want.

How in touch are you with yourself? Can you differentiate what you desire from your other wants? Can you use desire to get you what you want?

Here are some quotes about "Desire"

Napoleon Hill

Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.

Denis Waitley

Out of need springs desire, and out of desire springs the energy and the will to win.

One essential to success is that your desire be an all obsessing one, your thoughts and aims be co-ordinated, and your energy be concentrated and applied without letup.

We trifle when we assign limits to our desires, since nature hath set none.

James Allen

To desire is to obtain; to aspire is to achieve.

As you can see there are a variety of takes on desire. What does it mean to you and how is it incorporated into your life? What do you desire? Let me know.
