The First Step toward Riches
BURNING DESIRE: THE STARTING POINT OF ALL ACHIEVEMENT
You have to climb down from the freight train in comfort zone, have resemble a tramp, this are the thoughts like those of a king!
An opportunity carry out the one CONSUMING OBSESSION OF HIS LIFE, a BURNING DESIRE . desire is not a hope! It is not a wish! It is a keen, pulsating DESIRE, which transcended everything else. It is DEFINITE. A dominating desire for a long time. In the beginning, when the desire first appeared in his mind, it may have been, probably was, only a wish, but it was no mere wish when he appeared before the gates of success.
A remarkable illustration of the power of a DEFINITE DESIRE wins a goal, because of what you want and nothing else. Just create a plan by which to attain that purpose. By doing this you will have BURNED ALL BRIDGES BEHIND YOU. You stand by your DESIRE until it became the dominating obsession of his life and finally, a fact and stake my ENTIRE FUTURE on my ability to get what I want.
YOU SEE THE BOATS GOING UP IN SMOKE. THAT MEANS THAT WE CANNOT LEAVE THESE SHORES ALIVE UNLESS WE WIN! WE NOW HAVE NO CHOICE WE WIN OR WE PERISH!
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.
Wishing will not bring riches. But desiring riches with a state of mind that becomes an obsession, then planning definite ways and means to acquire riches, and backing those plans with persistence which does not recognize failure, will bring riches.
THE METHOD BY WHICH DESIRE FOR RICHES CAN BE TRANSMUTED INTO ITS FINANCIAL EQUIVALENT, consists of six definite, practical steps,
FIRST. Fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. It is not sufficient merely to say "I want plenty of money." Be definite as to the amount. (There is a psychological reason for definiteness which will be described in a subsequent chapter).
SECOND. Determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. (There is no such reality as "something for nothing.)
THIRD. establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire.
FOURTH. Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action.
FIFTH. Write out a clear, concise statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire, name the time limit for its acquisition, state what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it.
SIXTH. Read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring at night, and once after arising in the morning. FEEL AND BELIEVE YOURSELF ALREADY IN POSSESSION OF THE MONEY.
Here is where a BURNING DESIRE will come to your aid. If you truly DESIRE money so keenly that your desire is an obsession, you will have no difficulty in convincing yourself that you will acquire it.
Only those who become "money conscious" ever accumulate great riches.
The steps call for no "hard labor." They call for no sacrifice. They do not require one to become ridiculous, or credulous. To apply them calls for no great amount of education. But the successful application of these six steps does call for sufficient imagination to enable one to see, and to understand, that accumulation of money cannot be left to chance, good fortune, and luck. One must realize that all who have accumulated great fortunes, first did a certain amount of dreaming, hoping, wishing, DESIRING, and PLANNING before they acquired money.
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.
You may as well know, also that every great leader, from the dawn of civilization down to the present, was a dreamer.
We who are in this race for riches, should be encouraged to know that this changed world in which we live is demanding new ideas, new ways of doing things, new leaders, new inventions, new methods of teaching, new methods of marketing, new books, new literature, new features for the radio, new ideas for moving pictures.
Back of all this demand for new and better things, there is one quality which one must possess to win, and that is DEFINITENESS OF PURPOSE, the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning DESIRE to possess it.
Tolerance, and an open mind are practical necessities of the dreamer of today. Those who are afraid of new ideas are doomed before they start.
In planning to acquire your share of the riches, let no one influence you to scorn the dreamer.
Put your dream across, and never mind what "they" say if you meet with temporary defeat, for "they," perhaps, do not know that EVERY FAILURE BRINGS WITH IT THE SEED OF AN EQUIVALENT SUCCESS.
Practical dreamers DO NOT QUIT! dream of a chain of DESIRE, transform your dream into action
A BURNING DESIRE TO BE, AND TO DO is the starting point from which the dreamer must take off.
Our only limitations are those we set up in our own minds.
The outlook was far from encouraging, but DESIRE BACKED BY FAITH knows no such word as impossible.
believe, and not without reason, that nothing is impossible to the person who backs DESIRE with enduring FAITH.
DESIRE backed by FAITH, pushed reason aside, and inspired me to carry on.
TO ALL THESE I WISH TO CONVEY THE THOUGHT THAT ALL ACHIEVEMENT, NO MATTER WHAT MAY BE ITS NATURE, OR ITS PURPOSE, MUST BEGIN WITH AN INTENSE, BURNING DESIRE FOR SOMETHING DEFINITE.
