KEY #5 – Have A Burning Desire
Again, this is a very important key that is going to help you open the door to your success. Without this key, it is almost impossible for you to achieve success. In this world, who doesn’t want to be rich, who doesn’t want to be successful? Everyone wants success. If you meet a beggar, just ask him whether is he wants to be successful. I bet, he’ll say yes. But then he will always remain as a beggar, why? Because he doesn’t have the burning desire to be success!
So what exactly does this burning desire mean? Burning desire is not the same as what you wish. Burning desire is not the same as what you want. Burning desire is something that it is a MUST for you. You cannot live without it. Just imagine, if you’re in a desert now, it’s so hot and you’re almost going to die because of thirsty. Suddenly you saw some one come by and he is holding a bottle of water. You straight away walk to him and ask for water. Now, what if that person doesn’t want to give you his water? You will even kill him if he still doesn’t want to give you the water. So this is the burning desire, it is a must for you.
Still not clear enough? Ok, let me give you another example. Assume that you don’t know how to swim. You go to a swimming pool and suddenly you fall into the pool. The pool is so deep and you will drown. When the moment you drown, will you think like this? “Oh, I don’t know how to swim. If only I know to swim then I won’t be dead”. Honestly, you will struggle! Why? Because you want to live. It has become a burning desire for you.
Many people want to be a Millionaire, but most of them won’t achieve it because it is not a must for them. If something is a must for you, you will do whatever it takes to get it. This is the burning desire that you need if you want to success in your life. Success never comes automatically, you will need to spend a lot of time and effort on it.
Here is a great story that I would like to share with you. Long ago, there is a King, and he wants to conquer an island. Therefore the King orders a General to handle this task. The King only gives the General 100 soldiers. And the enemy has got 1,000 soldiers guarding that island. So how this General going to win this war? What the General did was that he burned all the ships that carry his men to the island. Now, there is no way back, and if his men want to live, they will have to win the war. The General leave his men no choice but to win the war. In the end, they do win the war. And the moral of the story? If you want something so badly, you will eventually achieve it. Hence, set your goals to become a must for you, a burning desire.
If your goals are not a must for you, the moment you face problems and feel frustrated, you will give up fast. However, if your goals are must for you, then you will do whatever it takes to achieve it. You will get up fast the time you feel frustrated. Thus you can see now how important a burning desire is.
