A Brief Note on Tremendous Desire

What do you want?

Enlightenment? Success? Love? A sexy body?

Well how badly do you want it? I’m sure your immediate answer is “Really bad!”

Napolean Hill once said, “When your desires are strong enough, you will appear to possess superhuman powers to achieve.”

How strong IS strong enough?

“Desire is the starting point of all achievement. Not a hope, not a wish, but a keen,

desire which transcends everything.”

A desire which transcends everything must be pretty damn strong.The following fable illustrates this principle brilliantly:

A man approaches a Zen Master and asks to be shown the path to enlightenment. The Master replies, “Okay, follow me,” stands up, and walks the man to a nearby river and into the water. Without warning, the Master forces the man’s head under the water and holds it there as he struggles violently for his life, until he is nearly dead. At last the Master pulls the man up, gasping for air, and says, “When you want to be enlightened as badly as you wanted to take your next breath just now, come back and see me.”

Now let me ask you one more time: How badly do you want it? As badly as you possibly could want it?

The most powerful, immediate and gratifying results are born through intense desire. If you are wondering why you have not achieved something, here are 3 good questions to answer:

1) Are you constantly thinking of ways to acheive your desire faster? (Do you think about it while eating, sleeping and pissing?)

2) Would you do anything to achieve it?

3) Are you doing everything in your power to achieve it?
