The great oil billionaire, H. L. Hunt was asked, “What is the secret of success”?
His response to the question was that “success requires two things only”.
Firstly, you must know exactly what you want. Most people never make this decision.
Secondly, he said, you must determine the price that you will have to pay to achieve it...
To succeed in any area of your life, you only need one thing to start with, which is - A BURNING DESIRE!
what exactly does burning desire mean?
Burning desire is not the same as what you wish or want. Burning desire is something that is a MUST for you to poccess. Something you cannot live without.
For example, you found yourself in a dry land, I mean a desert, the temperature is so hot to the extent of almost going to die because you are thirsty and needed to water to drink.
Fortunately for you, you saw somebody coming with a bottle of water, and you run up to the person to beg for some water to drink. Now, if the person chooses not to give you water, can you imagine what you could do to that person, so that you can get water to drink? That is burning desire, because you are thirsty, so it has become a must for you to get water.
Let’s take another Scenario as an example. You don’t know how to swim, but you are by the swimming pool side, and suddenly you fell into the pool. At the moment you fell into the pool, what will be in your mind is how to come out of the pool alive, while you struggle. So, at that moment, it has become a burning desire for you.
everybody wants to succeed, but not everybody will succeed, because they have no burning desire to do so. If something is a must for you, you will do whatever it takes to get it.
If you really want to succeed in life, a burning desire for success has to be attached to it. Success does not come automatically, it requires a lot of sacrifices.
The good news is that almost anything that you want long enough and hard enough, can ultimately be achieved.
The starting point of all goal attainment is desire. You must develop an intense burning desire for your goals if you really want to achieve them. Only when your desire becomes intense enough, then will you have the energy and the internal drive to overcome all the obstacles that will arise in your path.
If you want something so badly, you will eventually achieve it. Hence, set your goals to become a must for you, a burning desire.
