Lesson from chapter 2 desire

Chapter 2 Desire:

The starting point of all achievement.

The first step towards riches.

Desire is making yourself become a white hot heat towards anyone goal. Having seen this occur a number of times within own life going for a goal and being unprepared to stop until its obtainment. Even when really excited about something.

Recently on a day out Jenny in the city having seen a large cruise ship in port for the day and wondering when was going to leave we decided to hang around and watch it leave. When we noticed it was leaving near our ferry home after boarding the ferry wharf, a second cruise ship was coming out also nearby through under the harbour bridge.

The cool part had been as was watching the first ship leave the dock which was rare to experience,

Upon boarding the ferry I took off for the upper open deck to take photos. It was something that was wanting to see and experience, wow now that was experience, getting photos of the ship and watching these two larger cruise ships leave port.

Now as Jenny said to me, you just took off. I have never seen you move so fast. True I didn’t have anything was really wanting to do. Yet when do I can just go for it. When there is sufficient reason I will go for it. That is what desire is you want something and nothing is going to stop you in its obtainment as a person.

The following quote came across from insight of the day today to own eMails it was very applicable to desire.

“When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his dream.”

Paulo Coelho

I am needing to ensure that am able to allow Jenny to have the best health. After recently being told that Jenny needed to see a cardiologist. For now its wait and see and supporting Jenny as best can, having been down this road before with own grandmother. Knowing that am in the best industry to be able to affect and take the time out to ensure that Jenny and myself have the best health. As this is the number one thing.

Yet also being able to be there to support Jenny knowing that I have done the work needed to build own business. Its now building those relationships with those key people. Something which has taken time, its about being able to assist Jenny to get better and making sure that own health stays as best as it can. As have said to Jenny in the past, whatever it takes to get you well again that’s what we will do.

It’s a matter of waiting to see what the next step is after our trip to New Zealand and then going from there. For now its also going with the flow, knowing that I am the one who is able to do such. This was placed before us for a reason and now well its what has to happen, I am going to do what ever I can to help Jenny with her health again.

In own past I have seen myself determined to achieve a goal for health reasons. That started 6 years ago when went to the gym initially to improve muscular skeletal function and mobility. It started with barely being able to walk up and down stairs to being able to run around and stand for longer than 1 hour, to be able to swim full laps of the pool. A number of things which had been unable to do for years.

A big thank you to Michael, Willena and ken for your wonderful mentoring guidance and support, your love and encouragement. In assisting me to become that better friend, lover, boyfriend, father and so much more. For assisting me to grow as a person to become that leader who inspires people to become better. To the mental cleanse participents thank you for your inspiring lessons,

Abundant love, hugs and health.

Mutual confidence is the foundation of all satisfactory human relationships. | Napoleon Hill Foundation

How very true from Napoleon on how fragile human relationships are, also confidence and trust within the other parties. Demonstrate
you can be trusted and you own the world. However demonstrate that you are unable to be trusted and it falls apart. There may be
some people who attempt to pull you down to make themselves feel big. Yet you need to show that you can be trusted by the other
party for any relationship to work.

Once you destroy that trust it can take a long time to rebuild it. Should that ever happen at all. Yet you do need to learn to trust in
life, also you need to learn to build other peoples trust too.

Brian Tracy quotes of the day.

What a very true quote from Walt Disney on the power of desire, persistence and keeping on going even when times seem rough as often this can be a test to see your own
endurance and weather you are wanting something bad enough. Quite often our own success will lie just beyond the point of failure.

"Mickey Mouse popped out of my mind onto a drawing pad... when the business fortunes of my brother Roy and myself were at their lowest ebb and disaster seemed right around the corner."

-- Walt Disney, producer

Overcome your fears and go for those goals.

A wonderful article from Jason Leister on quitting, however its not the type of quitting that you would think about normally. You need to quit those things that are
holding you back. You need to overcome these saying you are no longer holding me back as a person. Overcome your ghosts and go for those things you have dreamed
of wanting to do for so many years.

Why You Should Quit

I think quitting is underrated.

As I look back over my business and life, there are a lot of things that I probably should have quit far sooner than I did:

•              I should have quit technology consulting the minute I realized that selling time for money had some real drawbacks.

•              I should have closed some niche businesses when I realized that the impact they could make on the world was too small for me to qualify as a good steward of the life I've been given.

•              I should have quit "searching" so hard for the answer to "what should I do?" the minute I realized that the act of teaching from my experience is what makes me feel alive.

Why didn't I quit those things? Because my ego was far too big and too fragile to let me do it. And because I was more afraid of what other people would think about my "quitting" than I was about wasting more moments of my life.

And so I happily wasted a portion of my life in exchange for avoiding the criticisms and opinions of others.

The bottom line is that I didn't quit because I was scared. It's fear that kept me paralyzed for years and years.

But I've come a long way since then. The pressure finally caused something inside me to crack. (Yes it was painful.) It was a mess for a while, but the entire process eventually led to some real clarity. And now, as I'm ready to take everything in my life to a new level, I believe I've found a few more items that belong on the "quit list."

Here they are, in no particular order:

•              I am going to quit making decisions based on fear. (Obvious exceptions include any scenario involving hungry wild animals chasing me.)

•              I am going to quit shielding my talents, my skills and my power.

•              I'm going to quit using the trick of "playing small" and downplaying my talents as a way to win approval, validation and attention from others.

•              I am going to quit looking for answers in places outside myself.

•              I am going to quit making "realistic" decisions that steer me away from making a powerful impact on the world.

•              I am going to quit thinking that extreme success is reserved for "other people."

•              And I'm going to quit letting the thoughts, opinions, or insecurities of others direct decisions about my life.

As you read through this list, does anything come to mind in your life and business that you should quit? My guess is that something came to mind even before you finished reading that sentence.

The question isn't really "should you quit". The bigger question is "Do you have the courage to quit NOW?" As you now know, my answer to that question (for years) was a resounding "NO."

Why Quitting is a Virtue

I've come to view quitting as an important virtue. Quitting something that doesn't belong in your life means that you value your commitment to you above most everything else.

If we all did that, I'm afraid we'd unleash an epidemic of happy and well-adjusted people unlike the world has ever seen.

In an effort to jumpstart such an "epidemic," here's something else I'm suggesting we all quit:

The idea that quitting is in some way a bad thing.

Most people you ask on the street would probably say "quitting" is a bad thing. That's because they've been taught that "Winners never quit and quitters never win."

The type of quitting I'm talking about has nothing to do with what you actually want to achieve in your life. There's no sane reason anyone would quit the pursuit of that.

The quitting I'm recommending applies to all of the other things you feel are standing in your way of pursuing what you want. I'm talking about the things you've been carrying around - perhaps even for years - that are weighing down your journey towards your goals.

As funny as it sounds, you can be thankful for those things. Because that excess weight has made you strong. Imagine what happens when you get rid of that baggage?

I've caught a glimpse of what my future is and if I had to summarize it in one phrase, it'd be this:

Do LESS... Quit More Things

When I say, "do less," I'm not talking about outsourcing, or crowdsourcing or whatever the business automation flavor of the month is.

I'm talking about distilling the essence of the value that I bring to this world and focusing on delivering more of THAT... exclusively.

Doing less more effectively, with more power, with more focus and stronger intention. The end result of this is that you deliver more impact with less effort.

I'm realizing that, for me, the road to success is not so much about acquiring more skills or techniques or strategies... it's about SHEDDING the stuff that doesn't serve me or that keeps me from delivering the maximum amount of value to the world that I'm able to dish out.

So when's the right time to QUIT?

You quit as soon as you realize that your time could be better spent in another way. You quit the minute it becomes clear that you're living your life for someone or something else instead of living it for you.

In my experience, doing this on a regular basis is one of the scariest things you can do. It brings you right up to the edge of your comfort zone where you're forced to make a choice:

Do you live your life based on how you want to live it? Or do you live your life based on how you think others want you to live it?

Do yourself a favor. Do the world a favor. QUIT something.
