How do I achieve that "burning desire" from think and grow rich?

Kan, in an old ebook of mine called Maintain Your Focus, I wrote this: Pay attention and gain Interest.

Maybe that will help you? Make a special attempt to pay attention. You will begin to notice things which interest you.

Make special efforts to pay more attention to those things you are interested in and it is likely that interest will grow. Eventually, one thing or another will become so very interesting to you that you will become obsessed to know more and more and more about it...

Developing a “Burning Desire” is done in steps usually. Most times you don’t just wake up and say I have a Burning Desire for a New Home. Sometimes it happens that way in reaction to something someone says or does, but most of the time it is developed in stages.

Like Dominique says it also involves emotions. You need to begin by building strong emotions towards what it is you want.

Start by finding a picture of what it is you really want, many pictures, as many as you can find. Put them every place where you’ll see them all the time.

If what you want is a new home, find pictures of the exact home you want and make copies and put them every place, use it as your computer desktop and screen saver. Visualize yourself living in the home; see the furniture you want in it, walking through the house, sleeping in its bedroom, swimming in the pool, using the kitchen. See every part of this house you can possible think of.

Visualize where this home will be at and see the grounds around the house. Get prices on home much it would cost to build the home. Create a blog about the home and talk about it every day.

Make it real, see it, feel it, and the Burning Desire will grow.

This is one of my main points. It's not enough to read a book that tells you what to do, we have to learn how to do it.

A "burning desire," as Napoleon Hill puts it, gets built in your mind over time from massive and consistent thought about it. In many cases, massive fuel to create something takes for you to actually train that into your mind.

Daily Rituals help with the conditioning process. Sit down for about 20 minutes a day and clear your mind. After your mind is relatively clear, immerse yourself in your outcome. Literally try to engage all of your senses and put yourself in the outcome.

At the same time, consciously engage your excitement. Start naming things that can happen in your life as a result of you engaging this goal, desire or outcome. When we plant seeds, we have to water them. The burning desire normally doesn't just show up. That is a huge misconception in human beings. You create the entire thing in your mind. Get passionate, think about it obsessively, discover and learn as much as you can about it and ensure that whatever outcome you're moving toward is exciting enough to you!

ENGAGE YOUR EMOTIONS DAILY, several times a day! Engage your neurons! Build it in your brain and start to actually TRY TO FEEL invigorated when thinking about it. Go nuts in your mind with it, you now have full permission to reengage your imagination.

1 - Pick a goal.

2 - If you want a burning desire, spend at least 30 minutes each day visualizing the goal in detail. Turn off the phone, your computer, everything! Go into quiet and practice living in your mental picture. See it in detail. Smell, taste, touch the picture.

When the mental picture begins to feel more real than reality itself, then you have the beginnings of a burning desire.

Where did I say that?

Kan - you've taken your eye off the ball. You have a burning desire to ... erm ... have a burning desire!

But that's because you believe that if you could develop the burning desire, (let's call it "bd" for short shall we?) it would bring you some result(s) you don't already have.

Therefore you have a desire for the results but believe you don't have sufficient "bd" to achieve or manifest those results.

To me, your whole question comes from a place of being lost. You don't develop desire like you can develop a muscle. It isn't a skill, it's an emotion. It comes naturally from inside when you know who you are, where you're going or what you want to be or do or have.

Have you ever had a burning desire for a lover? Someone you couldn't stop thinking about?

When you were a kid, do you remember a Christmas Eve, or a birthday eve, when you couldn't sleep because of some anticipated excitement about the next day?

You can't make yourself have a desire! If you don't desire something, you don't. I've never desired a Spice Girls album but I'm not frantically searching around wondering how I could become a fan! Offer me a free ticket to a Katherine Jenkins recital though and you'll get a whole different reaction - because that's just me!

Since this is the Warrior Forum, and you're quoting "Think And Grow Rich" I'm guessing you desire to make some money online. Good for you. That's a desire. I don't know if it's burning in you or not. (And that's the other point. Who ever quantified desire?)

If you truly don't desire any way you've encountered of doing business on the internet, then in my view that is your nature speaking to you and you could simply try listening to it. Ask yourself why you are trying to achieve something in a realm that holds no emotional pull for you. I can't tell you whether this is a place for you to be or not, but if I were in your shoes I'd ask myself that question.

Try this:

What is your OUTCOME? In other words, what result do you want? Money in the bank? How much? And how do you want to obtain it? At a desk? Working outdoors mainly? Selling, writing, teaching, building ... the possibilities are vast.

It's all about self discovery.

I hope that helps.

All good things,
Trevor.

I'm confused too LD??? Is this the same person???
