The Starting point of all Achievement is Desire. -Napolean Hill
Any man who has achieved something big had a dream. That dream doesn’t let him sleep. That’s Desire. Let’s make it simple.
You are driving a car, going from A to B. You are at A right now. B is the point you wanna go to in the future. The most important thing, the fuel is your desire. Without fuel, the car can’t move forward except being dragged by another vehicle. Same way, without a burning desire you can only be dragged to work. Working without a desire is Hard work.
Now you can say, Ok, I get it. Don’t work hard, work smart. Working smart is doing what you love.
You understood Desire. What’s next?
Progress
Take decisions consciously. From the before example, In the car, the controls such as steering, brakes etc. are your decisions. You may take wrong decisions, it’s completely fine. Wrong turns can be corrected by U-turns. It’s way better than not taking any decision at all. The worst decision you could make is to not take one. Not taking a decision is like you running a bike on autopilot. You are running your life on auto-pilot. That’s dangerous. Open your eyes, mind, senses and observe. Think and decide your path. Never fix on a single path, in the beginning, take diversions and explore. And once you think you have enough exposure. Now you can focus on what is in your best interest for you.
This is how we progress.
Keep your desires high. Make Decisions. Do the work. Make mistakes. Learn from them. Keep Going. Don’t ever stop.
