Vitamins for the Mind
by Jim Rohn
Desire/Motivation
Humans have the remarkable ability to get exactly what they must have. But there is a difference between a “must” and a “want.”
The best motivation is self-motivation. The guy says, “I wish someone would come by and turn me on.” What if they don’t show up? You’ve got to have a better plan for your life.
When you know what you want, and you want it bad enough, you will find a way to get it.
Motivation alone is not enough. If you have an idiot and you motivate him, now you have a motivated idiot.
Without a sense of urgency, desire loses its value.
