"Fire Up Your Desire" by Ken Wallace

I learned a long time ago that if you're ever going to accomplish anything in your life, "you gotta wanna!" If you really don't want to accomplish something you will not think about it enough and, since your thoughts lead to your actions, you'll not do what is necessary to make it happen. Therefore, the first step in doing better than your best is to get clear on how much you really want what you say you want.

It appears that many folks aren't very clear as to what they truly want in their lives. Many, if not most of what they say they want are merely a mimicking of others' stated desires. Have you taken your cues regarding what you want from your parents or other significant others in your life? Have you taken them from the media, movies, television, radio, magazines, newspapers?

I'm not saying that if you did that this would necessarily be a bad thing. I'm saying that if you haven't consciously decided to make these desires your own without reservation and with full commitment to doing what it takes to turn them into reality, then you most likely experience persistent mental and emotional confusion and torpor. This occurs because your mind and heart are filled with multiple ill-defined and often conflicting desires none of which are strong enough to direct your thinking and channel your behavior toward a definite destination.

Think of the process of magnetizing a nail. A nail, like every other physical object, consists of numerous molecules each pointing in multiple directions. Stroking this nail with another nail in the same direction, not in a back and forth motion, will eventually cause all of the molecules to line up pointing in the same direction. This is what gives it the pulling power that attracts other similar objects to itself.

It's the same with your thoughts. When they are scattered in all directions, they have very little "pulling power" to attract the content of the thoughts into your life. Intense desire strokes your thinking such that your thoughts line up and focus on achieving the object of your desire. Your thoughts, aligned and concentrated toward a single goal, now begin to attract that which will help achieve that goal.

The strength and duration of your desire over time will cause your thoughts to line up and point in the direction of your desire. This focusing of your thoughts will cause you to become acutely aware of the many possibilities that are present throughout each day of your life that, if acted upon, will turn your desire into reality.
