DESIRE

DESIRE  
It is not accidental that Hill begins with desire. Success always begins  with desire.   Most people want to be successful. Wanting success is a waste of time.  Worse, it just produces frustration. Only a burning, all-consuming, fervent  and passionate desire will produce the exceptional results that make up  true success.   Wanting is best understood by its second meaning in the dictionary: lack.

 To want for something is to lack something and so long as you merely  want success, you will lack success. Wanting is mere wishful thinking.   Desire, on the other hand, is an extremely potent force. It is a supreme  motivator. It is a metaphysical principle of creation.   Desire is an energetic emanation of the human spirit that enacts the law  of attraction. Desire is the metaphysical equivalent of gravity. Desire  draws to you the thing desired, or the elements that will constitute the  thing desired. Desire is the fuel that ignites the fire that transmutes  thoughts into things.  

The sad truth about most people who claim to want success is that they  actually do not desire success. What they desire is comfort and security.  The path to real success often demands that you give up comfort and  security in order to gain rewards greater than mere creature comforts  and minor financial security.
