The journey of life is amazing. The one who gets success is always praised by saying that he is lucky and the one who faces failures in life and is disappointed is considered to be unlucky in life.
This is all we can know about both. But do you ever wonder the reason why that successful person reached the top of the ladder of success and why the other one is still disappointed because of failure and always remains to be. The reason behind both of them is a single world “DESIRE“.
Have you ever tried to search out what this desire is all about? How it is developed and how it functions? Well, today I am going to enrich you all with this knowledge.
Desire can be termed as an inner power that makes us do whatever is possible in this world to fulfill the aim. Actually most of the time we misinterpret our needs with desire. So, lets find out the different things you can adopt in your daily life to sow the seed of desire and achieve whatever you want in your life.
“The starting point of all achievement is desire.” – Napoleon Hill
1. Think positive
Most people focus on what bad can happen with them instead of getting concerned about what the positive aspect is. Every task/activity has two results: positive results or negative results. So in any case, just focus on what’s positive in the experience and how it can be utilized for a better tomorrow.
This is not a one day task. So, you need to maintain patience and need to mold your mind such that it always takes into consideration only the positive aspect of the happenings. As soon as you make this activity a habit, you will start visualizing positive results from yourself.
2. Exercise daily
A healthy mind nourishes a healthy body which results in strong willpower to conquer the world. So, always
supplement your daily routine with at-least half an hour of Yoga or physical exercise which keeps your mind healthy and active all day.
If you are within an age group of 40 plus or somehow you are not able to add physical exercise within your daily routine, then it is advised to replace the physical exercise with yoga which includes pranayam, meditation, etc. However, yoga and meditation can do amazing things for all age groups.
3. Work on small victories
Keep this point in mind that small victories lead to bigger ones. So set your milestones at small
distance. The formula is that with every small success, you will get more energy in reaching a milestone and with that energy, you can move-on to another and then another and so on. At last success will be yours.
Actually this is human psychology that when human beings set bigger milestones, and work hard to achieve them, they start finding it difficult to go through the tough times. In the case of setting small milestones, they tend to set a mentality that pushes them through to complete this milestone as soon as possible. With that energy and charm on their faces, the milestone is completed successfully which in return energizes them even more and ignites them to work even more harder to reach the second milestone.
4. Always be inspired
You can go through any source of media, every successful person has an inspirational person within their life. So from that we draw this point that we all must have a role model or mentor that you can emulate. Your idol can always inspire you to work hard and achieve the desired goal. Mahatma Gandhi, Swami Vivekananda, Rabindranath Tagore, Nelson Mandela are a few of the inspirational role models which can be selected. It’s up to you to choose your role model based on the field you want to succeed into.
“Desire! That’s the one secret of every man’s career. Not education. Not being born with hidden talents. Desire.” – Bobby Unser
5. Repeat success mantras
Do you know that if you repeat a dialogue continuously throughout a single day, the next day you will find that you are getting personality somewhat similar related to that dialogue. Science has proved that if you repeat a line for a whole day, your mind and heart takes it into consideration and starts acting on those words.
So I suggest you to repeat a simple mantra for nearly 30-40 times in a day. It will drastically change the way you see your life and will start acting accordingly. The mantra is “Yes I can Do It. I have the WILLPOWER to achieve my GOAL.”
With these simple steps, you can makeover your mind and change it to a machine which is ready to face any sort of failure and achieve the goal.
It is true that what you believe you can achieve and with daily affirmations, meditations we can reprogram our mindset for victory.
Great post.
Great article with amazing tips to live a positive and successful life
You are absolutely correct. The one thing that helps up achieve success in any area of our life is desire, but also action. Desire is the first the we need though that is going to determine how passionate and determined we are in our actions. I really like the postive thinking, exercise, and mantra things you suggested. I actually started repeated mantras every morning and it has helped me on my path in life. Great post.
i will definitely reffer to this to keep me going. I need to remember to not always think of the final goal but of the small victories I need to make. Will Smith said once, don’t set out to build the biggest, baddest, greatest wall. Start laying each brick as perfectly as it can be laid, and soon, you’ll have a wall.
Hey Ravinder, some nice tips to help anyone stay motivated. It’s true that desire is the starting point for achievement, but I must add that such desire must be tempered with patience otherwise it will cause you to be frustrated which will delay the results you want from showing up.
