Desire 2008

Welcome back to the TAGR blog for 2008. After a slow start to the year (zero blog posts), its time to get back into it.

Desire is the cornerstone of achievement. Simply put, if you dont desire something enough, then you will not achieve it. Attempting something, when you are indifferent to it, is a recipe for bad apple pie. And yet, we see scores of examples of people doing things that they arent really into, and then failing.

One of my readers once asked me, "What do you do, if you don't desire anything at all?"
"Well Jimmy" I said "If you don't desire anything at all, you're probably dead"
Her name wasn't Jimmy, and she didnt think that was very good advice, but the question remains,

"What if I don't desire it enough?"

Answer:
If you don't desire it enough, you won't overcome all the hurdles that will present themselves. You'll stop short.
But don't forget, that desire doesn't always appear immediately. Contemplating, and working on something, mulling it over in your mind, over time, nurtures desire. It creates desire and strengthens it.

This is why reading the statement (see Autosuggestion chapter) is so important. Reading the statement over and over again cultivates the desire in you. And then... its only a matter of time.
