“Be All You Can Be” Step 1 DESIRE

How Do You Harness and Use the Power of DESIRE?

Napoleon Hill said, “A burning desire to be and to do is the starting point from which the dreamer must take off. Dreams are not born of indifference, laziness, or lack of ambition.”

My personal experience with DESIRE lead to me now being married, from marketing myself online of all things! :-)

Once upon a time…

…there was a man who celebrated his 40th birthday, alone. Still single, never married and not yet with any children, he wished most of all to be united with his “Beloved.” Having followed many spiritual paths he knew he wasn’t alone, but he was lonely and had a Burning Desire to be with the woman of his dreams. At that time a Birth-Day PURPOSE and Dream for him “Takes off!” (full story and some cool related images at my blog here: "Be All You Can Be" In 13 Steps | TimothyBertOwen.com )

You see for much of my life I felt like a Failure, in Love and Business. Now that’s not to say I never experienced success, I did but I experienced success as something done “to me” rather than “by me” like I was “just lucky” every once and a while. My whole life I have longed to be “Master of my Fate and Captain of my Soul,” not at the effect of Fate but the author of it! Now, after 43 years of “feeling at the effect,” I am the “cause” of all that I experience. We each have absolute control over but one thing, that being our Thoughts.

“Those who would win in any undertaking must be willing to burn their ships and cut all sources of retreat. Only by so doing can one be sure of maintaining that state of mind known as a BURNING DESIRE TO WIN, essential to success.” Napoleon Hill

Marrying my “Viking Wife” and relocating to Norway continues to teach me a lot ! At the time of this writing I have Survived Two Dark Norway Winters. The 2nd winter deeply tested our Burning Desire to Succeed in Our Marriage! Napoleon Hill describes it well when he say’s “cutting all sources of retreat maintains a State of Mind essential to success.” One year into our marriage the honeymoon was long over, if I would have found a way out…well, let’s just say I wouldn’t be writing this now as a happily married man!

When have life’s circumstances brought out the worst and the best in you?
Were you able to complete the experience for better or for worse?
Was having “no source of retreat” a critical part of your victory as well?
Are you in such a circumstance now!?

Please share your experience of harnessing and using the Power of DESIRE.
