12 KEYS TO SUCCESS – Have A Burning Desire (5)

Again, this is a very important key that is going to help you open the door to your success. Without this key, it is almost impossible for you to achieve success. In this world, who doesn’t want to be rich, who doesn’t want to be successful? Everyone wants success. If you meet a beggar, just ask him whether if he wants to be successful. I bet, he’ll say yes. But then he will always remain as a beggar, why? Because he doesn’t have the burning desire to be successful!

So what exactly does this burning desire mean? Burning desire is not the same as what you wish. Burning desire is not the same as what you want. Burning desire is something that it is a MUST for you. You cannot live without it. Just imagine, if you’re in a desert now, it’s so hot and you’re almost going to die because of thirsty. Suddenly you saw someone come by and he is holding a bottle of water. You straight away walk to him and ask for water. Now, what if that person doesn’t want to give you his water? You will kill him if he is not giving you the water. So this is the burning desire, it is a must for you.

Still not clear enough? Ok, let me give you another example. Assume that you don’t know how to swim. You go to a swimming pool and suddenly you fall into the pool. The pool is so deep and you will drown. The moment you are drowning, will you think like this? “Oh, I don’t know how to swim. If only I know to swim then I won’t be dead”. Honestly, what will you do? Struggle! Why? Because you want to live. It has become a burning desire for you to stay alive.

Many people want to be a Millionaire, but most of them won’t achieve it because it is not a must for them. If something is a must for you, you will do whatever it takes to get it. This is the burning desire that you need if
you want to succeed in your life. Success never comes automatically; you will need to spend a lot of time and effort on it.

Here is a great story that I would like to share with you. Long ago, there is a King, and he wants to conquer an island. Therefore, the King orders a General to handle this mission. The King only gives the General 100 soldiers. And the enemy has got 1,000 soldiers guarding that island. So how is this general going to win this war? They are outnumbered.

What the General did was that he burned all the ships that carry his men to the island. Now, there is no way back, it is either kill or been killed. The General leaves his men no choice but to win the war. In the end, they did win the war. And the moral of the story? If you want something so badly, you will eventually achieve it. Hence, set your goals to become a must for you, a burning desire.

If your goals are not a must for you, the moment you face problems and feel frustrated, you will give up fast. However, if your goals are must for you, then you will do whatever it takes to achieve it. You will get up fast the time you feel frustrated. Thus you can see now how important a burning desire is.

Don’t worries if you don’t know how to make your goals come true, just set your goal. There is a saying, “When there is a will, there is a way”. So just set your goals and your burning desire will come up with some ways to achieve them. Many people give excuses like they say that they don’t know how to achieve what they want. Such as if their goal is to create an extra stream of income online, they will give excuses like they don’t know how to create a website. Is this true? Not really actually, if you have a strong burning desire, you will automatically look for ways on how to create a website.

So stop giving these kinds of lousy excuses anymore. You know that you can achieve anything if you want to, nothing is impossible for you. 50 years ago, stepping on the moon is a myth; even hand phone is also a myth. Nobody is going to believe that you can connect with people using a small device called hand phone 50 years ago. But look, hand phone has become so common now, almost everyone owns it. All thanks to those who have the burning desire to make all these come true.

It is the reason that you want something so badly that develops your burning desire. And it is your burning desire that drives you into taking action to make your dreams and goals come true in your life.

The conclusion, make your dreams and goals a MUST for you. If you do this, I can GUARANTEE that you can achieve them. Nothing is impossible.
