Desire

What will make you pursue and achieve your chief definite aim or major goal in life faster than you could have ever imagined? A little thing called desire!

Desire is a sense of longing for a person or object or hoping for an outcome. The same sense is expressed by emotions such as "craving" or "hankering". When a person desires something or someone, their sense of longing is excited by the enjoyment or the thought of the item or person, and they want to take actions to obtain their goal. The motivational aspect of desire has long been noted by philosophers; Hobbes (1588 – 1679) asserted that human desire is the fundamental motivation of all human action.

When you mix your goals with a burning desire to achieve them you will find that you become almost unstoppable in your pursuit of them. Going back to yesterday and tying into persistence, you will find two of the most powerful keys to success that have ever been discovered. When you combine these two things with the process of taking massive action, there will be nothing that can stop you from eventually achieving your goals no matter how big they are.

When it comes to success in any endeavor in life, a shot glass worth of desire is worth more than a pitcher of talent. A person with a burning desire shows what he truly is by what he does with what he has. When you desire something strong enough, excuses disappear and you are left with reasons why.

Here are some more thoughts on desire.
