Do You Have a Burning Desire?

October 12, 2010

In his classic book, Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill talks about a burning desire for riches. The exact quote goes like this, “You may as well know, right here, that you can never have riches in great quantities, unless you can work yourself into a white heat of desire for money, and actually believe you will possess it.”  It cannot be a mere wish or dream, you must see yourself acquiring the amount of money you want and begin taking action on that immediately.

So why is it so hard for us to do this? Why are so many people struggling to make ends meet? If it’s as easy as visualizing yourself in possession of the money you want, why don’t you have it already?

It’s because of your belief system.  Many of us blame the economy, our spouses, our family, our upbringing, and the list goes on and on. You see, none of these things matter. The only thing that matters is that you believe you can achieve it. No excuses. You are in control of your thoughts and actions. Take responsibility for yourself and everything that happens. Stop blaming others for your lot in life. Begin reading the biographies of successful people. Learn from them.

Believe success is possible and work yourself into a white heat of desire for the thing you want. Anytime a negative thought comes into your mind, realize it’s your subconscious mind trying to keep you safe. It doesn’t like risk. Be kind to your subconscious, thank it for trying to keep you safe and replace the thought with a positive thought and action. Being clear about what you want will help at this moment. See yourself in possession of that thing you desire and take an action step in that direction.
