Got this in an email today from my friend Linda Britt at Mentoring for Free and it fit perfectly with the thoughts I had been thinking of over the past week.
I was asking myself the question:
"What makes people take action that will move them in the direction of their dreams and success?"
A few things came to mind like, belief, certainty, passion, wanting. In a video posted on Tony Robbins blog last week that has been virally moving across the web, Tony was talking with John Reese and Frank Kern about how belief and certainty is a driving force behind people taking action in their lives. This is so very true.
When I read the thoughts below from Napoleon Hill, it filled in another key piece for me... DESIRE.
Desire, purpose, passion, your WHY must also be in place to allow your belief and certainty to grow.
I think of desire as the fire that comes from the fuel of certainty and belief that then moves you to massive action and creates great results. The results are then fuel again re-enforcing your belief and certainty and moving you to an even higher level. Tony talks about this in his video and Napoleon Hill calls this "stroking the furnace of a steam engine".
So when the hills are bumpy and the roads are curvy it is the desire within you, your WHY you are doing it that will keep the fire burning and you moving forward.
So, here is my question for you:
"What is your WHY and how are you using it to fuel your beliefs and certainty to create massive action and results for a great and successful life for you and all who are around you?"
Look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Have a fantastic day!
God Bless.
In the words of Napoleon Hill...
"In order to act, you must have a purpose. If you want to act successfully in all but the most mundane affairs, you must embrace that purpose with a burning desire. Many people think they want to be successful, but since they do not back that thought with an intense drive, they never achieve success. Cultivate your desire. Feed it with thoughts of yourself enjoying whatever it is you seek. It’s like stoking the furnace of a steam engine. You need to build up enough pressure to carry yourself over hills; if your desire doesn’t burn hotly enough, you’ll find yourself stalled and rolling backwards. The secret to action is a red-hot desire."~ Napoleon Hill
