Sometimes you may feel like you don't have the support you need to move forward. You might feel busted and disgusted. When it's your turn to be encouraged, you may feel no one can or will help. We have all been there. But you don't have to be there anymore. I discovered something that all successful people know.
There is a way to combat that feeling each and every time you get stagnate. You will be able to push yourself along whether you have help or not. That's right. You can literally change your situation in an instant -- at will -- and be on your way to the success you deserve!
It's a simple concept, but the practice is highly uncommon. If more people implemented this little technique, they would be amazed at their results.
The secret is...(Insert Drum Roll Here)
Consistent Daily Action! If you're not getting what you want out of life, the first place to look is at your daily actions and habits. You must ask yourself, "What small steps am I taking everyday towards any one goal?" You will be amazed to find that your daily action is either not happening or not consistent enough to produce the result you're after. Consistent daily action, regardless of how small, is the single most effective key to achieving any level of success you want. So you have to plan your work. Do you have a real plan that is clear and focused? If the answer is "no" You have to re-assess your desires and find out what's holding you back.
If you don't have a large enough reason for moving forward everyday. IT JUST WON'T HAPPEN. Select one specific goal you would like to work on first. Now, set a date for completion.
Next, create a plan for reaching that goal. What tools, knowledge, suppliers, professionals, finances, etc. do your think you need? Get that all together. WRITE IT DOWN. I've carried a Franklin Planner for several years. I find it very useful in keeping my schedule, tasks and projects in order, but I have been known to grab a good old fashion legal pad or loose-leaf notebook every now and again if it's closer. I'm not high tech, so I write everything down. There are lots of systems, software, cherries and blackberries available. The absolute best system to use is one that works for you!
Break the plan down into manageable daily steps that will assist you in achieving your goal. Once the goal is set, you can ask yourself, "What will I need to accomplish in order to get from here to there?" Now get moving. Refuse to be stopped. Celebrate failure because you learn more from it than you do from success. Decide not to give up until you win! If you haven't taken the time or you just need a loving shove, I have good news for you. Here it is.
Take Action Now!
In order to be successful and reach your goals, there are several characteristics you must possess. In a series of articles we are going to examine the things that are so essential to your growth that without these traits self-improvement would be practically nil. If you are lacking any of the traits discussed, they can be acquired. So then, to create or fine tune these attributes would be your first step to prosperity.
One of the foremost qualities you must possess to succeed is Intense Desire. Desire plays a dominant part in progress. Why is this trait so essential to your improvement and how can it benefit you in the attainment of your dreams? How can you acquire and intensify desire?
Do not confuse need with desire. Ofttimes, we mistakenly assume that need will drive us. To illustrate: Years ago my friend and I both operated a cleaning business. We did not agree on what would make a hard working, dependable employee. She hired applicants who were in desperate financial need, concluding that they would work hard and be dependable. I, on the other hand, hired the applicants that drove up in fancy cars, and were well dressed. I knew they would be dependable because they desired nice things. That desire would move them to work hard and appreciate their job. As a result, my friend had a constant turnover, while I barely had any turnover at all.
What do we learn from this example? In spite of how much you may need money, fame, freedom, or even an attitude adjustment, unless you develop an intense desire for the end result, you will never be moved to action that will endure and overcome the hurdles.
Desire is what motivates, it is the force that drives you. The greater the intensity of desire, the more you will be driven to action. Trying to reach goals without a consuming desire would be like driving your automobile without gasoline. You would not expect to get very far, would you? Desire is what stimulates to action, it is what propels you forward, and the result is the development of strength, skill and intelligence in proportion to that desire. To satisfy the desire obstacles are faced with undaunting courage and no battle is feared. It is only with intense desire that the finer characteristics are defined and you now develop, strength, courage, patience, endurance, and intelligence.
Obviously you desire some change that is why you are reading this article.You can intensify that desire. Imagine yourself with the end result that you are seeking, the fame, freedom, new relationship or business venture. Doesn't it feel great to accomplish it? Imagine the feelings of pride, excitement, the ultimate happiness the experience will bring you. Let your imagination create a longing for the completion of those dreams. In this way your desire will be more consuming.
As this intense desire propels you forward in the attainment of your goal, and becomes satisfied, new desires replace the old one and you gain a renewed exertion. Whether the desire is for wealth, fame, power, or greater freedom, once the desire is satisfied a greater desire takes it place. As you reach your goal you will find that the desire has grown far ahead of you. It awakens, stimulates, and propels you towards the fulfillment of your dreams and you do indeed move forward with Intense Desire.
